January newsletter

SYMBIOSIS: The lichen task force newsletter — January 2023
A look at what we've accomplished, working together

Happy new year! We head into 2023 with plenty of work to do. We're missing articles on a handful of lichen families, scores of lichen genera and thousands of lichen species. Dozens of important lichenologists are "missing" too. We need to check or update the taxonomy of hundreds of existing taxa articles. Many articles about basic lichen structures and functions are either tiny stubs or badly in need of referencing or updating. There's certainly enough to keep us busy for a good long while! Here's to a productive year ahead.

Project news
Newsletter challenge – last month's champion and a new challenge

Kazamzam met last month's challenge and provided an updated reference for the Cladonia squamosa article – which indicated a significantly larger world range for the species than had been previously listed. Nice job!

This month, we're looking for someone to replace the dead reference in Ramalina fraxinea (defunct since April 2018!) with one (or more) which corroborates the information that the old reference did. The editor who meets this challenge will get public kudos in the next newsletter.

Got a suggestion? A correction? Something you'd like to see included in a future issue? Drop a note at the Tip Line with your ideas!

list of Asteraceae genera

Thank you! I'm not done yet (in the S-es, going backwards), but I'm getting there! :) Thank you for noticing. It will still need citations until I get finished, and I'm up in the air about keeping the common names that are already in there. Cited some of them, and if they are kept, will have to cite the rest. – Elizabeth (Eewilson) (tag or ping me) (talk) 03:34, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Translation tool - not so slick, or is it me?

Dear Kazamzam! Thanks so much for your helpful intervention on the page I started, Jewish Association for Protection of Girls and Women. Using the translation tool in he:en presumably will handle the reference citations (of which there are many in English!) and images, but numerous chaotic attempts failed to produce the desired results while I concentrated on producing chunks of text and section headings. Admittedly I only glanced over the tool's FAQ and relied on my general skill set. The "Under construction" template you added is the one I sought and hadn't found, so I'll add it to my tool kit for future use. Much appreciated! Cheers -- Deborahjay (talk) 14:42, 22 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, the translation tool is awful. You're doing great, just keep going. You can translate some of the Hebrew references and add it to the en-page if you want to incorporate that into the citation but strictly speaking using non-English language references without translation is fine (if a little frustrating to readers). Happy to help if you need a hand! @Gilabrand and @Gidonb recently helped out with rescuing Yoel Drubin and might have more experience navigating Hebrew sources than me and might be good resources if you get stuck in the future. All the best! - Kazamzam (talk) 15:02, 22 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
