I was here for spider systematics.

I'm currently (2026-) taking a (possibly permanent) hiatus, as I found it not worth sacrificing my emotional health interacting with too many people who are not interested in constructive exchange.

  • Around 2006, I created the page Spider families as a (temporary?) entry point, and worked on getting the 111 families up to a certain standard. My favorites are jumping spiders, where I created a page for every described recent genus.
  • In 2025, I built out the South African spider section, enriching it with Ansie Dippenaar-Schoeman's spider guides and the late Peter Webb's photos. All specimens in the photos were later identified in the lab.
  • I tried working on updating the spider genus pages, and adding photos from iNaturalist where available.

Everything below here is probably vastly outdated :)

A thought on grading categorisation

Hi Sarefo. You were suggested as someone to contact regarding the I'm a fellow contributor to WikiProjects Arthropods. I was wondering if it would be possible to modify the statistics script so that the statistics table includes links within cells, allowing one to select articles of a given quality and importance (to make it easier to prioritise articles to work on). Asking around elsewhere pointed me to the Geology version. It seems they have additional categories - so an article wouldn't be "Category:FA-Quality Arthropods articles" and "Category: Low-Importance Arthropods arcticles", but rather (or as well) be "Category:FA-Quality Low-Importance Arthropods arcticles".

I don't want to create too much work, but this seems to me to possibly be a better approach, allowing users to go straight to high importance stubs to work on, for example, rather than getting a list of all the stubs and manually looking for high importance ones of them (based on a view that importance should prioritise activity).

Grateful for your thoughts. Heds (talk) 03:49, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
