Hi and thank you for creating the disambiguation page above - Do you plan on creating Nijenhuis (Diepenheim) or Nijenhuis (Olst-Wijhe)? The reason I'm asking is it shows up on New Page Patrol and will likely be tagged for deletion soon as it points to only one existing article (per WP:G14). Kind regards Josey Wales Parley 20:27, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
- @User:Joseywales1961. Hi. Yes. I sure plan to create those pages. But don't ask me exactly when. I came into trouble when I wanted to point to one of the castles in: Maïté Duval. I'll put it high on my list! Do I need to mark it in some way? Greets, --Dick Bos (talk) 08:30, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
- Hi, well at the moment anyone could tag the page for speedy deletion so it would be best to make a short stub for at least one of them articles (that woiuld invalidate the criteria for speedy deletion as it would now point to two existing articles and there would be no rush with the second article). Thank you for the reply and happy editing Josey Wales Parley 14:13, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
- @User:Joseywales1961. I just created a stub for Nijenhuis (Olst-Wijhe). Greetings, --Dick Bos (talk) 16:27, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

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 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.

New newsletter!

Now, this newsletter is technically not new, but I have only recently become aware of its existence and am only a month late, so it still counts. Wikiproject Fungi's Lichen task force has a new newsletter that is very nicely formatted and also features much better writing than this newsletter. Anyone interested in receiving the newsletter can add their name here. |

And so ends the fourth edition of the monthly rolling contest, as well as the 2023 Tree of Life Contest as a whole. This month saw simongraham win with a very impressive 120 points from 27 articles. Quetzal1964 was second with 74 points from 37 articles. The annual contest was a close race between simongraham and Quetzal1964; simongraham won first place with 256 points from 64 articles, and Quetzal1964 was second with 250 points from 146 articles. Snoteleks was third with 79 points from 33 articles. Congratulations to everyone who won this year and my gratitude to everyone else who helped raise the quality of articles in our little corner of Wikipedia this year. Additionally, a very Happy New Year to everyone in the project and here's looking forward to continuing our good work in 2024! |
