Hi, you seem to be the main editor interested in the list articles comprising Category:Birding and ornithology by year. Would it be controversial to boldly rename these to "birdwatching and ornithology", to match our main article Birdwatching? – Fayenatic London 09:46, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

Hi, could I ask a favour please? I've made an edit on North Premier to add a column to the table of 2021-22 clubs, showing which leagues the teams ended up for the 2022-23 season. Would you mind having a look and see if you think it adds any value to the table, or if it could be improved at all? If you think it looks terrible, I don't mind you reverting it! Thanks in advance.

Thank you for the work on the Regional 1 South Central page. I was just wondering, would it be beneficial to use File:England south location map.svg for the non-London teams in that league to clear out the clutter of 3 maps to include Marlborough and Bournemouth on 1 map in addition to the London map?

New contest!
|
This month has seen an incredible amount of activity creating high quality content, with 3 FAs, 3 FACs, and a veritable flood of GAs and GANs, not to mention the FLs and FLCs. To help maintain this high level of activity going forward, WikiProject Tree of Life is starting a new monthly rolling contest, inspired by the contest run by WikiProject Military History. This contest should hopefully help incentivize editors to contribute in ways that are less daunting than writing articles that are GA and FA-quality. Even improving articles from stub to start class, or helping other editors by reviewing their work at GAN, FAC, or FLC, gets you points, with bonus points for articles with especially high page views. Make sure to participate in any way you can, and help improve the 'pedia while having fun and winning Barnstars! |

The first edition of
our new monthly contest had perhaps a little less participation than I hoped for, but it still resulted in a huge amount of content work, mainly focussed on de-stubbing articles on little-known species, although we did also see two GAs for
Holozoa and
Hypericum perforatum. Overall, over 60 articles were improved, with most going from stubs or redlinks to fully fleshed out articles. The winner this month was
Simongraham, who improved 21 articles about spiders, mainly to B and C class, and racked up 70 points, over twice the next highest. Hopefully, we'll continue to see such great work next month, with even more participants and even more articles improved.

The second edition of our monthly contest was even better than the last month, with 80 articles improved spanning the entire tree of life. The winner this month was Quetzal1964, who contributed to 47 articles, mainly relating to marine fish, and racked up 81 points in the process. In second place was simongraham, who got 60 points from 14 articles on various species of jumping spiders. simongraham is still at the top of our overall standings, with 130 points, and Quetzal1964's close behind on 108. The November edition of the contest is now open: feel free to drop by and participate if you work on any TOL-related articles this month. |
