Great internship
[edit]I saw your edit at Nature-based solutions. This looks like a great internship!! I wish you all the best with Wikipedia editing! You might like to help with biodiversity and biodiversity loss. Both articles are not great yet. Please don't just add new content but also improve the reading ease score. Use the readability tool that Wikipedia provides. It's great. You can see the link to it on my user page. Also take a look at the project that I had: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/SDGs/Communication_of_environment_SDGs (it's coming to an end now but I am looking for further funding for similar projects... Maybe we could do something together). EMsmile (talk) 12:11, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hi EM, thank you and lovely to hear from you! I will consider working on those articles and thanks for the tip on readability. Interesting project and looks like a lot has been done. Feel free to send me an email if you'd like to discuss a potential collaboration - that could be great! Manxshearwater (talk) 15:00, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
AfC notification: Draft:No net loss has a new comment
[edit]
- There is currently a redirect from [No net loss]] to No net loss wetlands policy. There is also a Requested Move to rename No net loss wetlands policy to No net loss wetlands policy in the United States. Consideration should be given to accepting this draft as No net loss environmental policy, because it applies to other types of environmental resources besides wetlands, and moving the existing article, which is nation-oriented.

- Thanks, Robert! Manxshearwater (talk) 13:04, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

DYK for Nature-positive
[edit]
On 21 August 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Nature-positive, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that more than 90 world leaders have made a pledge to achieve nature-positive goals? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Nature-positive. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Nature-positive), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Reach out if I can help in any way. Stitchbird2 (talk) 03:44, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you so much - it was great to be able to share my thoughts and glad that someone else was able to get something positive out of them too! I'd be interested to hear what you've been working on lately too and anything you would recommend working on :) Manxshearwater (talk) 08:02, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

Rhys family photos
[edit]Hey. Thanks again for your great talk today, and for shining a light on the work of amaizing Welsh women. I found a digitized image in our collection of Olwen Rhys and have uploaded it to Commons and added it to the article. There is an album of John Rhys family photos which contains pictures of Elsbeth and both daughters, but it hasnt been digitised. The ref is "Photo Album 6055". I'll see if i can get some shots on my phone in the next week or so. Cheers! Jason.nlw (talk) 13:26, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Jason.nlw, thank you! This is brilliant, thanks so much for adding it. That would be much appreciated if possible. Was great to hear your talk on the work at NLW and excited to hear about the Welsh time machine! Manxshearwater (talk) 14:02, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
