Hello, Quetzal1964. Your account has beengranted the "extendedmover" user right, either following a request for it or demonstrating familiarity with working with article names andmoving pages. You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind aredirect and movesubpages when moving the parent page(s).
Please take a moment to reviewWikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especiallythe criteria for moving pages without leaving a redirect. Please remember to followpost-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects whensuppressredirect is used. This can be done usingSpecial:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments tosecure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover statuscan be revoked.

If you do not want the page mover right anymore, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Thank you, and happy editing!Primefac (talk)15:26, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Quetzal1964,
Now that you have PageMover, please could you moveBengala bard to the right spelling, without leaving a redirect?

Hey Quetzal, The article you made,Scomberoidinae has the wrong author, Gill is not the real author, rather it is Jordan & Gilbert 1883 as per Eschmeyer's Catalog of Fishes.Referencehttps://www.calacademy.org/scientists/catalog-of-fishes-classification/Codonified (talk)01:22, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Codonified And?
Yes it looks like that. I am not going to be precious about you correcting it. This article was created over 4 years ago, so I cannot recall the reason, if any, that this error occurred.Quetzal1964 (talk)10:24, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You are invited to participate inThe European Destubathon in April. Almost $3000 in Amazon voucher prizes which can be used to buy books for content, though it can also be treated as an editathon if you're not interested in competing! Minimum content to be added to each article just to ensure that they're over a stub, though longer expansions also welcome. Entries at the end of the contest will be tipped into the 50,000 Destubbing Challenge and European Challenge. Previous contests were really enjoyable and I'm hoping this one will be too! Sign up if interested. Thanks! ♦Dr. Blofeld17:22, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I remember you were the greatest contributor to the African Destubathon and one of the people who made it so worthwhile! Your work for it was amazing! No interest in European wildlife for the month Quetzal? There's 65 prizes and one for each country, winning some of the less popular countries I'd have thought would be easy! I want to run one for Asia/Oceania and Latin America sometime too! ♦Dr. Blofeld09:29, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, when you have time, could you take a look atYellowspotted sawtail? Some text you added includes the phrase "The deep body firs just over twice into the standard length..." I think there's a typo there, but I can't figure out what. Any ideas? Thank you!Jessicapierce (talk)02:29, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You are invited to participate in The World Destubathon. It's currently planned for June 16-July 13, partly due to me having hayfever during that period and not wanting to run it throughout July or August in the hotter summer and will be run then unless multiple editors object. There is currently $3338 going into it, with $500 the top prize. As 250 countries and entities is too much to patrol, entries will be by user, but there is $500 going into prizes for editors covering the most countries. Sign up if interested! ♦Dr. Blofeld13:17, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

For those who have been too busy to contribute, we would love some help in reaching 4000 articles by Wednesday night!

I saw your comment on Big Blue Cray(fish) Twins talk page about linking to authorities on Wikispecies when Wikipedia doesn't have an article. You may want to consider using{{Interlanguage link}} instead of directly linking to Wikispecies. With the Interlanguage link template, a bot will automatically update the link to go to a Wikipedia article, if and when a Wikipedia article is created.Plantdrew (talk)15:50, 25 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
