The second edition of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Tree of Life/Contest|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 {{noping|Quetzal1964}}, who contributed to 47 articles, mainly relating to [[marine fish]], and racked up 81 points in the process. In second place was {{noping|simongraham}}, who got 60 points from 14 articles on various species of [[jumping spider]]s. {{noping|simongraham}} is still at the top of our overall standings, with 130 points, and {{noping|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. |
