Wikipedia:Destubathon of the Americas

You are invited to participate in the Destubathon of the Americas, a contest/editathon which will run from May 1 to May 31. The goal is to destub as many of our 475,000+ stubs for the Americas (from Alaska down to Chile) as possible. A good chance to have fun in expanding many of our old stale stubs and win up to £2000 ($2680) in Amazon vouchers for expanding stub articles. Sign up in the Contestants/participants section on the contest page if interested. Even if not interested in prizes you are still warmly welcome to participate in it as an editathon! Hopefully we can achieve something significant in the month of May together! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:27, 15 April 2026 (UTC)

Maintenance tagging

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

	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)
