Worker policing[edit]

That looks great to me! If you want to start an article in the future, I recommend not saving until you have content or using your sandbox. Cheers!

Oh! One thing you might consider doing is linking to your article from relevant places like Hymenoptera under "See also". heather walls (talk) 04:51, 11 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Overall it looks good - I don't see any problems; although I'm not omnisentient. Compare to the deleted version, which had exactly zero content; contentless articles are deleted because we find red links encourage article creation much better than contentless articles. I don't see any cause for deletion in the current article, if that's your concern. It was missing categories, I added Category:Hymenoptera which seemed appropriate, but there's probably a few others that're appropriate. Let me also draw your attention to Template talk:Did you know, where you can suggest a hook for newly created articles so they appear in the "Did you know?" section of the front page - note that you only have a few days to do that. Any other questions, please feel free to ask. Cheers, Wily D 06:51, 11 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I wasn't sure how likely you were to be back online in the next couple days, so I went ahead and nominated it, see here. Feel free to suggest a better hook or whatnot. Cheers, Wily D 08:17, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

DYK review[edit]

Hi there! Just reviewed the nomination for worker policing. Thanks for your work on the article! I made a few comments over there on how to improve the article to get it ready for the spotlight. groupuscule (talk) 18:44, 13 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Worker policing[edit]

On 17 October 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Worker policing, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that in certain species of bees, ants, and wasps, workers sometimes cannibalize the colony's eggs if they aren't laid by the queen? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Worker policing. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

A barnstar for you![edit]

	The Original Barnstar
	Thank you for your excellent work starting Worker policing, which is really interesting. And thanks for following up with improvements to get it into Did You Know. Well done! Sage Ross (WMF) (talk) 17:41, 14 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Worker policing[edit]

I took a look at the article and there's only 1 minor issues with regards to WP:WEASEL. Here's the one that I found:

"Although early theories of worker policing focused on the kin selection component, recent evidence from honey bees suggests enforced altruism plays a role."
Define "recent".

Also, I would recommend you to fix the reference format as there appears to be numerous types used (from proper ones to bare links). A properly formatted one would be reference #2. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 18:30, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Chacma baboon[edit]

Hi, thanks for helping out at Chacma baboon. I've marked the lead as completed (no doubt it could do with a bit more polish, but...). There remain some uncited claims which I think need fixing before the article can move to GA status. If you can help, or find the people who could, that would be much appreciated.

Your GA nomination of Genome-wide association study[edit]

Hello, I just wanted to introduce myself and let you know I am glad to be reviewing the article Genome-wide association study 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. — James Estevez (talk) 02:55, 9 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your GA nomination of Genome-wide association study[edit]

The article Genome-wide association study 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 needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within 14 days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:Genome-wide association study for things which need to be addressed. — James Estevez (talk) 02:41, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open![edit]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Invite to the African Destubathon[edit]

Hi. You may be interested in participating in the African Destubathon which starts on October 15. Africa currently has over 37,000 stubs and badly needs a quality improvement editathon/contest to flesh out basic stubs. There are proposed substantial prizes to give to editors who do the most geography, wildlife and women articles, and planned smaller prizes for doing to most destubs for each of the 55 African countries, so should be enjoyable! Even if contests aren't your thing we would be grateful if you could consider destubbing a few African wildlife articles during the drive to help the cause and help reduce the massive 37,000 + stub count, of which many are rated high importance. If you're interested in competing or just loosely contributing any article related to a topic you often work on, please add your name to the Contestants/participants section. Might be a good way to work on fleshing out articles you've long been meaning to target and get rewarded for it! Diversity of work from a lot of people will make this that bit more special. Thanks. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 04:55, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
