Great work on ''[[Megaponera]]''! Any updates on the GA plans mentioned above? Getting an article to GA may seem like a daunting task, so let me know if you want help with this, and I'm sure [[User:Burklemore1|Burklemore1]] wouldn't mind either.

A page you started (Megaponera) has been reviewed!
Thanks for creating Megaponera, ETF89!
Wikipedia editor Animalparty just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:
Please harmonize this page with Pachycondyla analis: if we are talking about the same species (regardless of genus) then the two articles should be merged into one, where the taxonomic history can be discussed. Also, welcome to Wikipedia!
To reply, leave a comment on Animalparty's talk page.

DYK?
Hi ETF89, your article Megaponera analis easily qualifies to be a DYK. It would be on the front page! You could nominate it yourself or if you don't feel comfortable with that, I am happy to do it for you. Julia\talk 17:49, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
- Hi Julia, I would be more than happy to have my article be nominated for a DYK. Unfortunately I dont know how to do that yet, if you could do that for me that would be great (or tell me how to do it).--ETF89 (talk) 18:09, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
- I have nominated it now, it's at: Template:Did you know nominations/Megaponera analis. It may take some time for it to be reviewed by someone as DYK is backlogged. Julia\talk 23:55, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
A barnstar for you!
The Writer's Barnstar | |
I just reviewed (and passed, easily) your DYK nomination, and wanted to drop by and thank you for such an exceptional addition to Wikipedia. It was a real pleasure to see how much and how thoroughly you'd expanded the Megaponera analis article - fantastic work! Yunshui 雲水 11:29, 20 October 2014 (UTC) |
- Thanks for your praise, glad you like it Yunshui. Its really great to have a Barnstar awarded for my work and motivates me to keep on writing articles for Wikipedia (I have to admit its a lot more fun than I expected it to be).
- It does get rather addictive... I put up my 164th article this morning, and it's every bit as satisfying today as it was when I started. Keep up the good work, and drop me a line if you ever need a hand with anything. Yunshui 雲水 14:51, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
- Wow Yunshui 164 thats impressive. I am currently planning on writing a rather long article about the Comoé National park in Ivory Coast (incidently the place I am currently writing from, since I am conducting my PHD there (who would have guessed: about the behaviour of Megaponera analis ). Unfortunately/luckily I have a lot of research to do at the moment so I am afraid that my article count wont go up as fast as yours :) --ETF89 (talk) 16:51, 20 October 2014 (UTC)

Suggestions for Megaponera analis
I have some helpful comments for Megaponera analis:
- The distribution map can be cropped to just Africa or to the central portion including Africa, Europe, and the Middle East. Having all continents is not needed, and the cropped map would fit nicely in the taxobox, where there is a standard spot for it.
- Adding journal DOIs to the references, especially in a citation template, immensely helps others in finding and verifying the content. (The best way I've found is to turn on Wikipedia:RefToolbar in the Gadgets menu of the Preferences, and entering the DOI will autofill the reference details.)
- There are a lot of good specimen photos on Commons, (workers and queens) but I don't know enough to know which is which. The would be good to supplement and illustrate the in-text description.
cheers! --Animalparty-- (talk) 23:48, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
- Hello --Animalparty-- and thanks for your suggestions. In general I agree with your suggestions and will try to edit the article in the coming week (Unfortunately I dont know a lot about DOIs so I will first have to learn how to do them, thanks for the tip with Wikipedia:RefToolbar). About the specimen pictures I agree that some good ones are needed for the description part, I just dont agree with the ones of common being good enough for it :). I am currently in Africa working on Megaponera analis and I plan to take some better ones in the upcoming week to add to Wikipedia.
- Thanks for your help --ETF89 (talk) 07:33, 21 October 2014 (UTC)
Hey ET (Mind if I call you that?) Would you like to work on the article, Scarus scaber with me? Also, what's your favorite color? Thanks, Amanda Smalls 13:16, 21 October 2014 (UTC)
- Hi Amanda, feel free to call me ET I dont mind :). I will gladly help you with an article about Scarus scaber, unfortunately I have very little time at the moment due to work, so it will take me a couple of days before I can really help you out (or only being able to do some very minor edits). I did a quick research on Scarus scaber and it turns out there is also very little literature available on the species (by that I mean actual peer reviewed Journal articles (i.e. papers)). So the Wikipedia article will end up being rather short and even though thats ok I prefer working on articles with a bit more substance. Now since you only go to High School yet (as far as I know) I dont expect you to know about species with peculiar and interesting behaviour that isnt freely (or easily) available online. So let me suggest for you as a next project working on expanding the article of the Common reed frog. One subspecies present in northern Ivory Coast is known for its unique behavioral adaptation to the dry season. It is the only known amphibian to stay during the dry season on completely sun exposed leaves of trees and gras (for over 6 months!) and has developed some ingenious ways to protect its limited water reserves (if you are interested I could send you some primary literature to read, although it is quite difficult to read for somebody not used to reading peer reviewed science articles). Oh yeah and my favourite color if I would have to choose one would be royal blue.

DYK for Megaponera
—HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 12:02, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
- Hurray, a super nice DYK! Congrats! :) Julia\talk 18:59, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks Julia, and also for undoing the bad edit in the article :) I was thinking of maybe nominating it for a good article (after adding one or two more sections once I get my hands on the papers, about parasitism and ecological impact). What do you think? — Preceding unsigned comment added by ETF89 (talk • contribs) 20:10, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
- Of course! Megaponera will be a great GA nomination after a few additions. I'd also add to the taxonomy section the meaning of Megaponera (if you can find it) and analis, with an explanation like you gave on the talk page for potential confusion there.
- I think that it is often understood that for some more obscure species, there are often things that are "unknown" and that if the article is as comprehensive as it can be, you're in a good place for Good Article. :) Let me know if you want any help, but I'll keep an eye on the article for copyedits anyway.

Disambiguation link notification for August 3
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Comoé National Park Research Station, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bouna (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.
