From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hi, I'm MetaAlphaBeta (talk), and I'm new to editing Wikipedia. I look forward to contributing to the quality of articles and participating in the Wikipedia Canada 10,000 Challenge, WikiProject Canada, the 50,000 Destubbing Challenge, and just helping Wikipedia in general!
Userboxen
|
I am currently participating in the April 2025 Europe Destubathon and am working on expanding a variety of European stubs.
On the right you'll find an unnecessary long list of userboxes, with various information regarding my account, contributions, languages, interests, WikiProject participations, countries I've been, etc. I'm a particularly huge fan of decorating my user page with these userboxes (and service award badges!).
I love destubbing articles, especially those related to biology. In the following section, you'll find a table (neat!) of all of the articles I've written or considerably expanded (only expansions of over 2,000 bytes are included). I vow not to create any articles and leave them as stubs; I will expand them eventually.

To do
Unfortunately, my to do list is very long. I look forward to shortening it. There are way too many stub expansions to do. (Current: N is the prose byte count of the article before expansion, now: N is the prose byte count of the article after expansion).
Article expansions:
Expand Conus fuscoflavus to at least 1,200 bytes of prose(now: 1,410)Expand Hypoglossal canal (maybe?)Expand Inquisitor glauce to at least 1,200 bytes of prose(now: 1,860)Expand Gray-footed chipmunk to at least 1,500 bytes of prose (current: 996)(now: 6,405)- Expand Gastrocopta servilis to at least 1,200 bytes of prose (current: 132)
- Draft expansion: User:MetaAlphaBeta/Gastrocopta servilis
- Expand Cryptotaenia canadensis to at least 1,500 bytes of prose (current: 269)
- Expand Amphicarpaea bracteata to at least 1,500 bytes of prose (current: 939)

Article creations:
- Write article List of marine molluscs of New Caledonia (current: 60)
Nominations and reworking:
- Expand and nominate Period 2 element for Good Article.
- Two sections that need expansion: Fluorine and Neon.
Works in progress
