Urtica ferox on PR

Hi. Just letting you know, I've been working vigorously on the Urtica ferox article for months now, as this topic is very interesting to me. Shaun (User:AxonsArachnida) suggested to me to ask you if you're interested to leave some comments on the peer review. Given your expertise in botany, we thought you might be able to offer some useful comments. Feel free to pass if you're not interested. Alexeyevitch^(talk) 05:35, 6 August 2026 (UTC)

Hello, I'm definitely interested, but when do you need the comments by? Stitchbird2 (talk) 05:44, 6 August 2026 (UTC)

Thanks! Whenever you have time... ideally sometime this month, I guess. Alexeyevitch^(talk) 05:51, 6 August 2026 (UTC)

Okay, I can probably help, but not until late Aug. Feel free to remind me if you haven't heard back from me! Thanks for your messages and for including me in this. Great to see this article improve. Stitchbird2 (talk) 22:41, 6 August 2026 (UTC)

I am finally looking at this now and making comments initially in a Word doc. Where should I publish my comments? Stitchbird2 (talk) 03:09, 28 August 2026 (UTC)

Publish them here: Wikipedia:Peer review/Urtica ferox/archive2. Also, add your username ====Stitchbird2==== below ====Book source review====. Alexeyevitch^(talk) 03:17, 28 August 2026 (UTC)

Wikipedia:The Asia-Oceania Destubathon

Hi, just to let you know that I'm running The Asia-Oceania Destubathon in November. £2000 (about NZ$4,694.08) in prizes. It would be great to see content improved for New Zealand and the Pacific region as part of this. Sign up if interested, I'm sure there are a lot of stale old NZ articles needing destubbing! If it is a success, perhaps next year we could do something specifically for New Zealand or with Australia and the regional Pacific. Thanks.♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:54, 26 October 2026 (UTC)
