Finding stubs and making them grow

A stub is an article that provides at least a basic definition but does not go much beyond it. It may not be the perfect article yet, but each stub should have the potential to become one. See Wikipedia:Find or fix a stub for ways to locate stubs. For example, click what links here on that same page, or on Template:Stub (the stub notice).

Still not enough stubs? Then try Wikipedia:Requests for page expansion, or set the threshold for stub display in your user Preferences. That option sets a number of characters threshold value. Links to articles with fewer characters are shown in dark red. This makes it very easy to spot stubs. If the stub notice is a generic notice consider sorting the stub into a stub category.

Orphan

[edit]

The page you created titled Scheirer–Ray–Hare test has absolutely no other pages linking to it. If you know of other pages that should link to it, could you add the links? Michael Hardy (talk) 21:53, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

August 2020: Be cautious with automatic translations

[edit]

Thank you for your efforts to improve English Wikipedia. If you are translating from Romanian into English, it's recommended that you have some knowledge of English vocabulary or at least check the translation manually for errors.

In this edit to Inocybe you introduced some rather awkward and even incomprehensible text to the article: "The small to medium size pilleus is in the small, thin, big fleshy, initially stretched conical or bell-shaped, then flattened, or flattened, or with a fairly prominent sharp or flattened gurgle in the center. It is not hygrophine and has a dry appearance. In the beginning, the edge often shows a pale, curving curve, and in the old age does not show short radial cracks to the depths. The cuticle is in a youthful, brutish, silky, and sometimes sprinkled with partial wound remnants, further developing radial fibers. There are also species with a woolly-peeling surface."

Perhaps most noteworthy were the use of "gurgle" to mean umbo, "wound" to mean veil, "hygrophine" to mean hygrophanous, and the use of adjectives such as youthful, brutish and wooly to describe the cap of an Inocybe mushroom. I'll do my best to clean up the article.

Edit: In situations in which you are not fluent in either the original language or the language into which you are translating, do not ever use automatic/machine translation!! Nobody is qualified to translate between languages which are not familiar. This is mandatory. Translating from German to English, French to English, Romanian to English, when your first language is apparently Spanish is no means to improve Wikipedia. The article you created, Russula firmula, contains nonsense text resulting from not correcting the machine translation. I'm fairly certain that most of your machine translation edits are similarly faulty. Translation is an art, and automatic translation lacks art! Please limit your Wikipedia edits to Spanish Wikipedia. Thanks.--Quisqualis (talk) 23:38, 26 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
