Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. 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.

This is a note to let the main editors of Atlantic Puffin know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on April 2, 2014. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at present, please ask Bencherlite (talk · contribs). You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/April 2, 2014. If it needs tweaking, or if it needs rewording to match improvements to the article between now and its main page appearance, please edit it, following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. The blurb as it stands now is below:
The Atlantic Puffin is a species of seabird in the auk family and is the only puffin native to the Atlantic Ocean. It breeds in Iceland, Norway, Greenland, Newfoundland and many North Atlantic islands, and as far south as Maine in the west and the British Isles in the east. It has a black crown and back, pale grey cheek patches and white underparts. Its broad, boldly marked red and black beak and orange legs contrast with its plumage. The Atlantic Puffin spends the autumn and winter in the open ocean of the cold northern seas and returns to coastal areas at the start of the breeding season in late spring. It nests in clifftop colonies, digging a burrow in which a single white egg is laid. After about six weeks, chicks are fully fledged and make their way at night to the sea, not returning to land for several years. Colonies are mostly on islands where there are no terrestrial predators but adult birds and newly fledged chicks are at risk of attacks from the air by gulls and skuas. The Atlantic Puffin's striking appearance, large colourful bill, waddling gait and behaviour have given rise to nicknames such as "clown of the sea" and "sea parrot". It is the official bird symbol for the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. (Full article...)

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Tiger you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Shoebox2 -- Shoebox2 (talk) 18:20, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
A quick update as we are half way through round two of this year's competition. WikiCup newcomer Godot13 (submissions) (Pool E) leads, having produced a massive set of featured pictures for Silver certificate (United States), an article also brought to featured list status. Former finalist Adam Cuerden (submissions) (Pool G) is in second, which he owes mostly to his work with historical images, including a number of images from Urania's Mirror, an article also brought to good status. 2010 champion (Pool C) is third overall, thanks to contributions relating to naval history, including the newly featured Japanese battleship Nagato. Cliftonian (submissions), who currently leads Pool A and is sixth overall, takes the title for the highest scoring individual article of the competition so far, with the top importance featured article Ian Smith.
With 26 people having already scored over 100 points, it is likely that well over 100 points will be needed to secure a place in round 3. Recent years have required 123 (2013), 65 (2012), 41 (2011) and 100 (2010). Remember that only 64 will progress to round 3 at the end of April. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page; if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points equally. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Hi Cwmhiraeth,
You asked for comments from "independent-minded" editors at your review. I'd prefer not to comment there, but I did want to share a few thoughts with you.
By way of introduction, I have a Ph.D. in computer science with an undergraduate degree in theater and a long-lasting fascination with evolutionary biology. Let me start off with an example to show you where I think you can improve a bit.
Pulling a book at random from my shelf (Rochkind's Advanced Unix Programming) and opening it to a random passage, I read:
If the KEY argument is equal to IPC_PRIVATE, a queue is created regardless of whether FLAGS has the IPC_CREAT bit on. (p. 183)
Consider paraphrasing the above for use in an article. A reasonably intelligent person would guess that the terms in ALL CAPS are being used as terms of art and should be quoted directly. Beyond that, though, someone without training in CompSci probably isn't going to know that "argument", "is equal to", "queue", "bit" and "on" are also terms of art, and as such should not be modified. That's going to limit the paraphrasing to changing the structure, perhaps:
Queue creation is independent of the IPC_CREAT bit in FLAGS if the argument KEY is IPC_PRIVATE.
Where I see you getting tripped up is in paraphrasing terms of art (or paraphrasing what your critics think might be terms of art). If you have a deep understanding of the vocabulary of a particular field, then it's obvious what words you can change and how, and it also becomes fairly straightforward to defend your choices. (The word "on" in the above could be replaced with "high", and I can cite chapter and verse as to why that's allowed.)
If you're not yet familiar with the specialized vocabulary of the article you're editing (and that's going to be the case most of the time), then you'll probably want to err on the side of reproducing the language and varying the sentence structure (as I did above).
Doing this is hard. Looking at my own example I noticed that I screwed it up. Do you see how? (I should have "and will occur" prior to "if the argument".)
Making that change in how you paraphrase is a minor tweak. Beyond that, keep doing what you're doing. Feel free to ping me or email me if there are a few specific examples where you'd like another set of eyes. I know lots of biologists, so it shouldn't be hard to get an expert opinion of if necessary.
Finally, you've held up extraordinarily well in some very trying circumstances. That speaks well of your character. I think the worst of it is over, and I'm looking forward to you having some drama-free days ahead.
With much respect,

You're rubbish and you should suck it up. You cannot deny the numerous technical errors, invented stuff, or misstated sources that punctuate your articles, I've been through them. Instead of fighting back - as if you were right - you should have accepted your limitations. The errors are proved and you made them.

Regarding what you added to and subsequently removed from my talk page. No matter how strongly I disagreed with someone on this project - and heaven knows that's happened a few times over the last decade - I would never even consider sharing the contents of a private email they sent me (barring something illegal that required intervention) with a third party, let alone their email address, as that would be grossly unethical.

Round 3 of the 2014 WikiCup has just begun; 32 competitors remain. Pool G's Adam Cuerden (submissions) was Round 2's highest scorer, with a large number of featured picture credits. In March/April, he restored star charts from Urania's Mirror, lithographs of various warships (such as SMS Gefion) and assorted other historical media. Second overall was Pool E's Godot13 (submissions), whose featured list Silver certificate (United States) contains dozens of scans of banknotes recently promoted to featured picture status. Third was Pool G's ChrisGualtieri (submissions) who has produced a large number of good articles, many, including Falkner Island, on Connecticut-related topics. Other successful participants included Cliftonian (submissions), who saw three articles (including the top-importance Ian Smith) through featured article candidacies, and Caponer (submissions), who saw three lists (including the beautifully-illustrated list of plantations in West Virginia) through featured list candidacies. High-importance good articles promoted this round include narwhal from Reid,iain james (submissions), tiger from Cwmhiraeth (submissions) and The Lion King from Igordebraga (submissions). We also saw our first featured topic points of the competition, awarded to Czar (submissions) and Red Phoenix (submissions) for their work on the Sega Genesis topic. No points have been claimed so far for good topics or featured portals.
192 was our lowest qualifying score, again showing that this WikiCup is the most competitive ever. In previous years, 123 (2013), 65 (2012), 41 (2011) or 100 (2010) secured a place in Round 3. Pool H was the strongest performer, with all but one of its members advancing, while only the two highest scorers in Pools G and F advanced. At the end of June, 16 users will advance into the semi-finals. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews.

Hello Cwmhiraeth,
While I was in the midst of reading and absorbing the ANI thread and your editor review, I noticed that you closed the latter discussion. I have replied to your request on my talk page, and I am very sorry at what you've gone through and also that I could not have been of immediate assistance. My offer of some informal suggestions is open to you, although I certainly understand if you wish to move on. Please take care. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 09:22, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
Please be more careful in supporting DYKs and please check the sources for the information to confirm they are accurate. You supported Template:Did you know nominations/Beautiful Nuthatch. You added a source that didn't make any sense given the statement and stated "[t]he several facts in the hook are well-sourced", but forgot to note that the range was not sourced by any measurement AT ALL. Not only that, but the range is inaccurate and purely original synthesis and isn't even supported by the actual map in the article. I don't even know bird articles, but this should have been really obvious. Looks like Birdlife screwed up somehow and ran with an issue, but this is more complex and I apologize for the error on my part. Somehow the webpage loaded incorrectly blocking my ctrl-f search and read through of the relevant claim. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 05:06, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
I agree that my tutoring you is slow-paced, in the sense that I don't do very much of it each day. However I wanted to explain that I find that I have to do it in small bursts, as it is surprisingly difficult to do. This is because I do want to be fair and I want to be encouraging, but at the same time I need to be tough and meticulous about any of the habits you have in extracting information that might be likely to introduce errors. I also believe that I have to try to explain everything that I am commenting about in detail, so it is quite clear, and not likely to be misinterpreted. I am glad you have found most of what I have told you so far to be helpful, however my greatest pleasure would come from seeing that the way you extract information from sources has changed for the better. Those of us who are scientists have been trained to be exceedingly meticulous about what we say in a written article or paper, and how exactly we say it. When you write WP articles on science topics, honestly you need to be equally meticulous and cautious. In that respect, I am disappointed to hear that you are persevering with the WikiCup, as I think being involved in that competition will not give you enough spare time to consolidate what you may have learned about refining your techniques in extracting information and building content. I felt I should put these various comments of mine down in writing here so they would be "on the record" in case anyone wishes to refer to them in the future. Invertzoo (talk) 00:09, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

Re; "Staining techniques using artificial dyes were established to help distinguish between different types of cell", which was added to the Anatomy article by your edit of 14 Oct 2013. The in-line ref gives EB as the source, which says "tissues", and I note that you changed this to imply "cells" only. I have changed the Wiki article to say "tissues" today. I would tend to think that the EB is rather brief and that a better source might be useful. Any comments? Snowman (talk) 16:34, 10 May 2014 (UTC)

Do you really think that the Starfish article should refer to blood or blood vessels? I edited the article because I'm in discussion with a creationist who used the article's references to blood in order to attempt to claim that starfish have blood. I don't have a copy of the Ruppert et al, 2004 so I don't know what it says but I don't see why the article should confuse people by using the term blood when it isn't blood. There are plenty of other sources which could be cited which refer to the circulatory system without using terms like blood or blood vessels. If you could, please fix the article so that it doesn't cause this confusion. Thank you. 87.81.244.252 (talk) 22:18, 30 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi Cwmhiraeth - I'm interested in reviewing your Isopoda GA nomination. I'm commenting here first because I haven't done a GA review before, though of course I'm familiar with WP policies/guidelines and I'm pretty sure I can go through the criteria in depth. Would you be willing to take me as a reviewer? If you'd prefer that I pass on this, that's perfectly fine, and I can just give you a synopsis of the thoughts that I've written down so far. The topic is not in my field, but it looks like something that I'd be happy to help with. :-) Sunrise (talk) 21:14, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
Hi, I noticed that you are doing a GA review of the parathyroid glands. The biochemistry and physiology of these glands is complicated and I would think that you will need to ask WP:Medicine for support at some stage of the review. Of course, there is nothing wrong with GA reviewers asking for assistance when needed. I would think that the article would need to include an account of homeostatic feedback, and also include renal bone disease, primary hyperparathroidism, secondary hyperparathyroidism and tertiary hyperparathyroidism.

Hi, I think that you are doing well with the GA review on the parathyroid gland. There are certain things about it that I would find difficult to describe quickly that makes me think that it is nudging GA status, but not quite there yet. Of course, the parathyroid glands and PTH are only part of a system that regulates Ca and PO4. Parathyroids have a thin capsule. According to my books, the sizes can be asymmetrical, so I think that it would be better to say that a normal parathyroid gland is less than 60 g, than give the average weight of a set of four. If you think that I could contribute something to the final phase of the GA over the next week or two, then I would appreciate it if you could check my grammar of anything that I added to the article.

Your edit to Isopod introduced some inaccurate information. Specifically, the pleotelson is not limited to a fusion of 1 or 2 segments, which is why the phrase "one or more" was appropriately used. The description of isopod pleopods as limbs is debatable. In amphipods, they are truly swimming limbs, but in isopods they're really just lamellar plate-like structures with gills below.

After an extremely close race, Round 3 is over. 244 points secured a place in Round 4, which is comparable to previous years- 321 was required in 2013, while 243 points were needed in 2012. Pool C's Godot13 (submissions) was the round's highest scorer, mostly due to a 32 featured pictures, including both scans and photographs. Also from Pool C, Casliber (submissions) finished second overall, claiming three featured articles, including the high-importance Grus (constellation). Third place was Pool B's , whose contributions included featured articles Russian battleship Poltava (1894) and Russian battleship Peresvet. Pool C saw the highest number of participants advance, with six out of eight making it to the next round.
The round saw this year's first featured portal, with Sven Manguard (submissions) taking Portal:Literature to featured status. The round also saw the first good topic points, thanks to 12george1 (submissions) and the 2013 Atlantic hurricane season. This means that all content types have been claimed this year. Other contributions of note this round include a featured topic on Maya Angelou's autobiographies from Figureskatingfan (submissions), a good article on the noted Czech footballer Tomáš Rosický from Cloudz679 (submissions) and a now-featured video game screenshot, freely released due to the efforts of Sven Manguard (submissions).
The judges would like to remind participants to update submission pages promptly. This means that content can be checked, and allows those following the competition (including those participating) to keep track of scores effectively. This round has seen discussion about various aspects of the WikiCup's rules and procedures. Those interested in the competition can be assured that formal discussions about how next year's competition will work will be opened shortly, and all are welcome to voice their views then. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Not quite sure how I'll order them - I'll probably make the ed17 decide, as, you know, Conflict of Interest: I am a semifinalist. I'd imagine point order or alphabetical or the like.

Hi Cwmhiraeth! Thanks for reviewing my last DYK. I'd like to do more - DYK is a fun little reward for article creation / improvement - but I think I need to contribute to DYK to continue.

Cwmhiraeth, I'm not happy that you promoted this with my ? icon still the most recent one. Tbhotch still has not, so far as I can tell, done a close paraphrase/copyvio check, and had approved both ALT hooks as "fine" although the second of them was so ungrammatical that "fine" just isn't on the radar (and which is probably why you chose neither ALT hook).
Please be more careful when assembling sets. The other day you'd packed six bios in a seven-hook set (I found some non-bio hooks, and moved out the excess bios), and even as I type this, the hook below the CECAFA Cup in Prep 1 has no bold link at all; it's entirely black type. I'll see what I can do to straighten it out, if someone hasn't beat me to it. BlueMoonset (talk) 06:29, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
