Hey, I noticed you have not been active on the English Wikipedia since late April (not sure if you are more active on the Swedish Wikipedia if you are on there), but here is some news for you when you come back:
Three ant related articles are now GA class, but the total of ant related GA is now four. This includes Banded sugar ant (the most recently promoted article to date), Black-headed sugar ant and Ochetellus (an article you made). Iridomyrmex has been substantially expanded and will be nominated for GA, and the genus Myrmecia is being worked on in one of my sandboxes. This article when published to the article itself may be the most referenced ant article on the entire Wikipedia (I project around 200+ references when done).
I assume you are very busy with irl stuff, but I thought I'd let you know what has been going on here. Burklemore1 ( talk) 17:49, 29 June 2015 (UTC)
Btw, do you have any intention to renominate List of ant subfamilies for FL again? I can tell you that it still has my definite support like last time. Burklemore1 ( talk) 06:29, 22 August 2015 (UTC)

BUT my main focus is promoting all Myrmeciinae articles to GA level or higher to form a good topic. Burklemore1 ( talk) 06:39, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
Hi. Hope you're well. Just to let you know that I've hopefully resolved your comments on the above list. Was wondering if you'd like to continue the review? Cowlibob ( talk) 21:08, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
Firstly, I need to get around to finishing this off when I have time, I only need to add a few more Formicinae genera and all of Myrmicinae. Anyway, I am writing this to you because I was wondering what your stance would be if I were to suggest on unifying the incertae sedis list into the genera and those excluded from Formicidae? I think it would centralise it and make it easier for readers so they don't have to jump to different lists, but I'm just seeing what you think of such change? I also have another thing to ask you, but we'll discuss this first. Cheers, Burklemore1 ( talk) 04:50, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

Seasons Greetings,
This is in reference to a relatively new umbrella article on en-wikipedia named Ceremonial pole. Ceremonial pole is a human tradition since ancient times; either existed in past at some point of time, or still exists in some cultures across global continents from north to south & from east to west. Ceremonial poles are used to symbolize a variety of concepts in several different world cultures.
Through article Ceremonial pole we intend to take encyclopedic note of cultural aspects and festive celebrations around Ceremonial pole as an umbrella article and want to have historical, mythological, anthropological aspects, reverence or worships wherever concerned as a small part.
While Ceremonial poles have a long past and strong presence but usually less discussed subject. Even before we seek translation of this article in global languages, we need to have more encyclopedic information/input about Ceremonial poles from all global cultures and languages. And we seek your assistance in the same.
Since other contributors to the article are insisting for reliable sources and Standard native english; If your contributions get deleted (for some reason like linguistics or may be your information is reliable but unfortunately dosent match expectations of other editors) , please do list the same on Talk:Ceremonial pole page so that other wikipedians may help improve by interlanguage collaborations, and/or some other language wikipedias may be interested in giving more importance to reliablity of information over other factors on their respective wikipedia.
This particular request is being made to you since your user name is listed in Wikipedia:Translators available list.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of national parks of Spain, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Basque Country and La Rioja. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

I think you shouldn't need to worry about the delegates closing the candidacy because there is an active discussion going on, and it seems that most comments have been addressed anyway. Due to that, I see no reason to close it and it would be irresponsible to do so. As long as Dudley Miles supports and if FunkMonk decides to support, four editors agreeing it should be promoted is plenty. Aside from that, what do you think about forming a good topic with the extinct Formiciinae? My work with Myrmeciinae is nearly complete, so I'm starting to plan another good topic. It would be something like this:
(Note that none of them are GA yet, but it's just a vision for now). Burklemore1 ( talk) 04:22, 31 October 2015 (UTC)
@ Burklemore1: List of Myrmecia species looks promising, and with 94 described species, very ambitious. I can help out by adding a description or two and by trying to find more photos. Does N/A mean that there's no photo on AntWeb/Commons or just that there's no photo on Commons? Flickr is another source that may surprise you (the Myrmecia rubripes photos in the link are not free, but photographers who license their work as CC-NC tend to be more likely to release their work as CC-BY or CC-SA if asked).
GA shopping list: top/ high/ B-class
Since you mentioned it, are you more interested in expanding stubs to GA, or expanding anything to GA? High importance stubs/ start-class. Basically all articles on weaver ants and leaf-cutter ants are under-developed. I've created a sandbox/zoo here where we can work on articles. My first suggestion is Atta cephalotes in sandbox1. Here is an awesome A. cephalotes family photo that is free to use (although unfortunately "free" as in GNU Free Documentation License, which is kind of useless for printed content). I'm open for any collaboration, and working on a couple of different articles at the same time means we never get bored :) jonkerz ♠ talk 19:11, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

Tatuidris has been passed as a good article, so congratulations!! Apologies that I wasn't around to actually work on it more, life has been really stressful this month. With that said, I may not be really active on Wikipedia for the upcoming days, need a bit of time to clear my head (when I return, the number of GA nominees/articles will skyrocket again).
