Maintenance tagging
[edit]Hi Quetzal, in October last year you left a comment in the article Hemigrammus erythrozonus, writing: (This section does not comply with WP:NOTHOWTO)
in prose. I just wanted to give you a heads up that a maintenance template exists for tagging such sections when needed: {{How-to section}}. nil nz 02:46, 26 May 2026 (UTC)

Destubathon Barnstar |
| Much appreciate your effort in the Wikipedia:Destubathon of the Americas contest! Great job!♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:21, 2 June 2026 (UTC) |
Why didn't you claim for the most overall destubs prize at Wikipedia:Destubathon of the Americas/Claims for prizes? Enough for 4th place.♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:49, 3 June 2026 (UTC)
- Because I thought that others who I saw in the putting lots of articles in the Article Achievements list were ahead of me so I only claimed for STEMM and Brazil. Oh well! Too late now. Quetzal1964 (talk) 16:37, 3 June 2026 (UTC)
- Dr Blofeld I have since destubbed a few more articles on Ancistrus catfishes, is the Article Achievement list staying open for articles agoing forward? Shoukd I add those now? Quetzal1964 (talk) 16:44, 3 June 2026 (UTC)
- Not too late, add your articles to the main achievement section on the prize claims page if you want the £25 for 4th place. If those recent destubs were done after the contest ended I can't accept them, but you can put them up on the 50,000 challenge.♦ Dr. Blofeld 07:45, 4 June 2026 (UTC)
- Thank you, I will. The new articles were not going to be entered in the competition, it was just to record they were a continuation of the destubathon. Quetzal1964 (talk) 07:47, 4 June 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks, you won £100 and finished 4th, not bad! Add the new ones to Wikipedia:The 50,000 Destubbing Challenge and continue there! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:50, 4 June 2026 (UTC)
- Thank you, I will. The new articles were not going to be entered in the competition, it was just to record they were a continuation of the destubathon. Quetzal1964 (talk) 07:47, 4 June 2026 (UTC)
