Welcome

Hello, JECason and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are participating in a class project. If you haven't done so already, we encourage you to go through our training for students.

If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on {{#if:|my talk page|my talk page}}, or ask your question on this page and then place {{t|Help me}} before the question. Please also read this helpful advice for students.

Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.

Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, and if your class doesn't already have one please tell your instructor about that. It is highly recommended that you place this text: {{t|Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and aid your communication with them.

We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished!

Thank you. I will follow up on your suggestions. JECason (talk) 02:35, 13 April 2019 (UTC)

Women in Red

Hi there, JECason, and welcome to Women in Red. It's good to have one more contributor involved in Wiki Edu. On the basis of Della Keats, you seem to have acquired all the basic editing experience needed for writing biographies of women. I hope you will be inspired to create many more and encourage your students to spend more time writing about women. You might find it useful to introduce them to our Ten Simple Rules. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 11:14, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

December 2020

File:Information.svg Hi JECason! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at :Verna Pratt that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia{{Snd}} it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/University of Alaska Anchorage/Writing and Rhetoric in Public Life (Spring 2021)

I edited Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/University of Alaska Anchorage/Writing and Rhetoric in Public Life (Spring 2021), even though there's a warning there saying "DO NOT EDIT THIS PAGE!", to fix 7 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:LintErrors/wikilink-in-extlink?namespace=4 Links in links] lint errors and a missing {{tag|div|c}}. If this or similar pages will be edited again or created, first, please see what I just did and take steps to make sure these lint errors do not recur.

style="vertical-align: middle; padding: 3px;" | In July 2015 around 15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As of July 2023, 19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary!

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!

Contest results

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 {{noping|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.

Also anyone who wants to help coordinate the contest can just drop by at the talk page, I really need help.

Contest results

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 {{noping|simongraham}} win with a very impressive 120 points from 27 articles. {{noping|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. {{noping|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!

* Our first double issue in almost four years, although we will try to return to a monthly schedule henceforth (incidentally, the last double issue saw Markham's storm petrel at GAN, and this one sees it finally pass FAC).

A highly competitive first round of the WikiCup sees four Tree of Life editors advance to the second round: {{noping|MtBotany}}, {{noping|Fritzmann2002}}, {{noping|Ealdgyth}}, and {{noping|AryKun}}
The March 2024 GAN Backlog Drive starts today; everyone is welcome to participate and help reduce the backlog of GANs.
The January edition of our monthly rolling contest was won by {{noping|Quetzal1964}} with 100 points from 40 articles, mainly related to various species of marine fish. {{noping|simongraham}} was second with 80 points from 14 articles on jumping spiders.
The February edition saw {{noping|Quetzal1964}} win for the second time in a row, with 114 points from 43 articles. In second place was {{noping|Snoteleks}}, with 21 points from 7 seven articles on various unicellular eukaryotes, including the GA Telonemia.

* The newsletter will not be returning to a monthly format (mainly because the author is busy failing every exam imaginable) and is on a bimonthly schedule for the foreseeable future.

The second round of the WikiCup was very competitive, requiring the highest points total to advance since 2014. Two TOL editors, {{noping|AryKun}} and {{noping|Fritzmann2002}}, advanced to the third round.
The March edition of our monthly rolling contest was won by {{noping|simongraham}}, who amassed 118 points from 21 articles on various species of jumping spider; in second place was {{noping|Quetzal1964}} with 109 points from 53 articles on marine ray-finned fish.
Quetzal1964 and simongraham were also the top two in the April edition, although Quetzal was ahead this time, with 68 points to simongraham's 48. In the annual leaderboard, Quetzal and simongraham are in first and second place respectively, with 291 and 246 points; in third place is {{noping|Snotoleks}}, with 76 points.
