spotlight possibility
editHey starsandwhales what do you think about having User:Cwmhiraeth as this month's editor spotlight? They're incredibly prolific with DYKs and have nearly 2,000 at this point (1,988). Enwebb (talk) 18:33, 2 August 2019 (UTC)

Editor spotlight interview
editHey Cwmhiraeth you interested in being on the Newsletter this month? Enwebb (talk) 02:59, 22 August 2019 (UTC)
- Happy to oblige! Cwmhiraeth (talk) 04:57, 22 August 2019 (UTC)
- Cwmhiraeth, great, I'll come up with some questions and ping you later today or tomorrow. Enwebb (talk) 16:47, 22 August 2019 (UTC)
Questions
edit1) You're very prolific with DYKs, with nearly 2,000 nominations credited (in fact, I'll highlight which DYK nominations this month were yours below). What made you become so involved in this part of Wikipedia? Why should Tree of Life editors nominate articles for DYK?
2) I noticed that your DYK nominations reflect a diverse array of flora and fauna, from trees, marine invertebrates, birds, fishes, and mammals. How do you decide what to work on?
3) Which of your Wikipedia accomplishments are you most proud of?
4) What motivates you to keep contributing? What's your 10,000 ft view (pardon the non-metric) of the community and Tree of Life?
5) What gadgets or scripts do you find particularly helpful?
6) What would surprise the ToL community to learn about your life off-Wikipedia?
Feel free to tweak questions (or indeed, come up with better ones). It would be great if you could get to this by the end of the month, so no rush. Enwebb (talk)
- See my replies in my Sandbox6. I have changed question 6 and not provided a useful response to question 5. I can change things if you think it unsuitable. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:49, 26 August 2019 (UTC)
