Diplobune is an excellent, excellent article – well done! Have you considered nominating it for DYK? Edward-Woodrow :) [talk] 12:07, 19 September 2023 (UTC) |
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Enhydriodon, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Suid. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

On 16 October 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Diplobune, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the three-toed species of Diplobune (fossils pictured) were mammals of the order of "even-toed ungulates"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Diplobune. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Diplobune), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

You just approved Appalachian Spring for DYK, and I looked at the nomination for the first time. Of the hooks, I find the original the weakest, tickling "Indian girl" a bit but not even supplying the knowledge that it is a ballet. Yes, it's an iconic ballet, and many reader will know that it's one of Copland's most successful compositions, but isn't the Main page for other readers as well? -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:17, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
ps: The other hooks have the same problem of not saying what it is, but the original has the extra load of "Indian" - do we even say that without quotation marks in 2023? - And without context, it would mean "from India". - I'd chose the "Simple gifts" hook, as including substantially the spirit of the work, while the original just says what it is not. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:22, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
On 11 November 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Anoplotherium, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that in 1822, the Paleogene mammal Anoplotherium commune (reconstruction pictured) was the first fossil species to be subjected to a brain cast study? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Anoplotherium. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Anoplotherium), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hello, and I come by to ask that you please reconsider your close of the merge discussion at Gordo (dinosaur). Gordo has many notable points in his favor. He is one of the two largest specimens of his species, is the most complete specimen of the species, is the largest dinosaur fossil in Canada, and is the showcase fossil of the Royal Ontario Museum (even mounted to be exhibited through the second floor series of museum windows). These seem a formidable foursome.
The close per "majority consensus" brings up an unusual fact: the members of Wikipedia's dinosaur project seem to object to additional stand-alone fossil pages. Their possible "I don't like it" reasoning, that everything in the Gordo page is already on the merge target page, diminishes the addition of very good new sources and text by Econterms, as well as the promise of new photographs, made and taken during an edit-a-thon at the museum during the recent North American Wikimedia Conference. It was nice observing Gordo with Econterms and meeting a young librarian from the UK whose panoramic photo of Gordo will be a nice addition to the page, or any page on dinosaur specimens and who expressed a longtime interest in becoming a Wikipedian. Would also like to point out that editor Bluerasberry was shown the changes and additional sourced material as they were being added, and quickly, through keen eye and site discernment, recognized that a save had taken place. This save would likely apply to probably most mainspace articles outside of a local consensus, and I'd ask that you consider re-judging it accordingly. Thanks.

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Anoplotherium 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 ChristieBot, on behalf of 20 upper -- 20 upper (talk) 06:03, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
The article Anoplotherium you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Anoplotherium and Talk:Anoplotherium/GA1 for issues which need to be addressed. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of 20 upper -- 20 upper (talk) 12:23, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
The article Anoplotherium you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Anoplotherium for comments about the article, and Talk:Anoplotherium/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article has never appeared on the Main Page as a "Did you know" item, and has not appeared within the last year either as "Today's featured article", or as a bold link under "In the news" or in the "On this day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear at DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On this day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.

On 2 January 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Dacrytherium, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Dacrytherium, literally meaning 'tear beast', was named after its "tear-pit"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Dacrytherium. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Dacrytherium), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed.
