Langbahn Team – Weltmeisterschaft

User:Quetzal1964

I am interested in biology, I am a birder, used to play rugby at a very slow and low level, like music and watching sports. Politically I am a trade unionist and a member of the Labour Party. I have been on Wikipedia since 2012 and mainly create articles, these usually contain a lot of typos so thanks to all the other editors who clean up after me. My main interests are in natural history and biology and most of the articles I create or edit will be in that area. Why do I do it? It keeps the brain working and I am continually learning. This week I have mostly being putting Automatic taxoboxes on Percomorpha articles.

Great work on Pepsis grossa. You are doing great work on building that article, and I would greatly encourage writing more content: we need more editors like you around the community. Sadads (talk) 03:01, 25 September 2016 (UTC)

Congratulations on winning the second edition of the Tree of Life Monthly Rolling Contest! Great work expanding all of those stubs and redirects on marine fish into nice, comprehensive articles. 43 articles in a month is absolutely insane, and I'd like to let you know that your work is greatly appreciated.
