Other than insects[edit]

Surprising number of insects being added. The instructions seem pretty clear, but maybe it would be worth including such a caveat in the title to be sure? i.e. "2021 - May - Arthropods (no insects)"? — Rhododendrites talk |  18:19, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'd state that this is not the first time the theme was clear for only a part of the contestants. I remeber the challenge 'Allee' where some users had an idea of a simple street, trees - even on one side - rather seemed to be a nice-to-have. A simple step could be a more expressive use of fat bold letters for the boundaries. In case of missing education ... what more can we do than give a direct link to the theme itself like in this challenge. There always is a certain number of people who are either not able to use the 'Preview' button or are able to leave the evident problems of their wrong entries to other users. Sometimes I suspect there is a language problem, as the problems like repetitively not beeing able to follow the 'insert here please' hints/helps/instructions (Vi Ko), using wrong entry syntax or even destroying the hole page seem to be related to the distance from english speaking or roman letters using areas. BTW: are there (any) translations of the decriptions for pages in enough other languages/alphabets? --PtrQs (talk) 00:12, 2 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Photo contest ends half day[edit]

@Jeff G.: Photo contest ends half day. See page source {{countdown|year= 2021 |month= 6 |day= 01 |hour= 11 |minute= 59 <!--Per request by various people challenges are now closed half-day on the first of each month so it is new month in all the time zones. -->. My edits were done before 12 hours UTC: [1]. That also got reverted. May be reconsider it. Thanks—Vis M (talk) 22:53, 2 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Vis M: Sorry, I took UTC literally, rather than reading the wikitext to conclude -1159. Silly me. I think I fixed it now, but some photos moved.   — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 01:00, 3 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
