I thought I'd do some work on this article. It is in sad shape. Look at the references. There are several letters and encyclopedias used. Are these acceptable? Do we format them like any other web/whatever reference? On another note, I'll probably be listing Cucurbita at FAC later today. Thanks. 14:49, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
It is finally there! Your input and review would be greatly appreciated. I can never thank you enough for helping me all you have. The main reason I got serious about editing was to improve this article. HalfGig talk 00:17, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
Hi, I had a look to see what could be said about synonyms at Cucurbita#Species and am at a bit of a loss because it is one of those situations of lumping and splitting that makes one wonder what possessed a particular person to make a new genus. Tropicos has some information such as that Tristemon is based on what is now Cucurbita pepo subsp. texana, Mellonia on Cucurbita melopepo L., Ozodycus on Cucurbita foetidissima, but for Sphenantha it doesn’t say anything helpful ... Perhaps it is in the spirit of your suggestion to add only the list of Linnaeus' originally included species? Would you be able to take a look at the latest version to see what you think?

On 6 January 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Hydnellum ferrugineum, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that fruiting bodies of the mealy tooth fungus sometimes exude blood-red drops of fluid? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Hydnellum ferrugineum. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |

Hi. I know you're busy with WikiCup, but I was wondering if you could take a look at the Cucurbita article now and let us know at the FAC page what you think now. We've had two Supports since your last visit, but we still need image, source, and copyvio checks. We truly appreciate all the help you've given so far and enjoy working with you.

Cas and Sasata: a summary of a Featured Article you nominated at WP:FAC will appear on the Main Page soon. Does the article need more work before its day on the Main Page? I had to squeeze the summary down to about 1200 characters; was there anything I left out you'd like to see put back in? - Dank ( push to talk) 03:29, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
I have two questions about your reviewer's comments on Robert Ridgway: (1) "there’s a "chapter ignored" parameter error in ref #43" -- I don't see the error message, and I don't see any cite that uses a chapter= parameter, so I'm not sure what needs to be fixed. I think we are talking about this cite, which I admit is a little odd: \{\{cite conference|booktitle=Proceedings of the High School Conference of November 23, 24 and 25, 1922|date=March 1923|publisher=University of Illinois|location=Urbana, Illinois|pages=112–117|url= http://books.google.com/books?id=wjMZAQAAIAAJ&dq=robert%20ridgway%20at%20home&pg=RA1-PA112#v=onepage&q=robert%20ridgway%20at%20home&f=false%7Cfirst=Ella R.|last=Dean|title=Robert Ridgway at Home|editor=High School Visitor's Office, ed|accessdate=4 March 2013\}\} (2) "accessdates are not required for links to printed publications" -- are we saying that accessdate= parameters should be removed for such cites, or that they're optional, i.e., not strictly necessary?

Hi Sasata, I'm getting some pressure to conform lead sections to TFA paragraphs, at least on important points. I hope you'll allow me to be a little bit professorial here. Your version seems ambiguous to me:
The presence of ambiguous cause-and-effect phrases (I'm looking at "on account of") was one of the 10 or so things we asked people to check for when preparing for Milhist's A-class, and it may be time to work up a similar checklist for TFA. Standing on its own, the most common meaning of your version is the one I gave ... that is, a pink-spore fungus should be classified with other pink-spore fungi ... but apparently that's wrong. Other common meanings of "on account of" in this context are:
So, I'm asking for feedback on the idea of asking people to check their lead sections against something like WP:Checklist when the article is headed to TFA (in this case, the first point, on cause-and-effect words). Do you agree with my point that ambiguity is possible here? Can you rephrase? What do you think of something like WP:Checklist for TFA? - Dank ( push to talk) 23:14, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Shiitake, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Shii and Chinquapin. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

A summary of a Featured Article you nominated at WP:FAC will appear on the Main Page soon. Was there anything I left out of the summary that you'd like to see put back in?

Sasata, you opened this review on March 7 and never returned, and have been away from Wikipedia editing for nearly three weeks at this point. With the concurrence of the nominator, I've put the nomination back into the reviewing pool in the hopes of finding someone who has more time for it, but I wanted to let you know that this had been done. I hope all is well. BlueMoonset ( talk) 22:09, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

We are preparing to take a closer look at Featured articles promoted in 2004–2010 that may need a review. We started with a script-compiled list of older FAs that have not had a recent formal review. The next step is to prune the list by removing articles that are still actively maintained, up-to-date, and believed to meet current standards. We know that many of you personally maintain articles that you nominated, so we'd appreciate your help in winnowing the list where appropriate.
Please take a look at the sandbox list, check over the FAs listed by your name, and indicate on the sandbox talk page your assessment of their current status. Likewise, if you have taken on the maintenance of any listed FAs that were originally nominated by a departed editor, please indicate their status. BLPs should be given especially careful consideration.
Thanks for your help! SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 19:40, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
