for your creation of Yule cat, a fascinating article! Eddie891 Talk Work 00:26, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

On 6 November 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Sivapardus, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Sivapardus was larger than a leopard, smaller than a lion, and had a face like a cheetah? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Sivapardus. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Sivapardus), 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.

On 25 December 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Yule cat, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that in Icelandic folklore, the Yule cat eats people who do not receive new clothing for Christmas? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Yule cat. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Yule cat), 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.

I'm better at reviewing articles than actually writing them. Good Articles especially have to struggle with a backlog, and the often jargon-heavy paleontology articles even moreso. Since I like seeing articles achieve GA (and even better, FA) status, I consider these reviews as doing my part in the giant collaboration that is Wikipedia.

Projects, Goals, and Proposals

edit

Important note: Much of what I'm planning is modeled after what others are doing at the now-thriving WikiProject Dogs. In this way I hope to revive the Cats WikiProject and bring the general quality of cat-related articles up.

  • Just generally work, either alone or with fellow editors, to improve upon the various cat articles.
