October lichen task force newsletter

<--- Previous issue | Next issue ---> | Tip Line SYMBIOSIS: The lichen task force newsletter — October 2022 A look at what we've accomplished, working together
As a subset of WP:FUNGI, the lichen task force is working to improve coverage of the world's lichens – unique organisms composed of one or more fungal partners with one or more photosynthetic partners. A growing body of evidence suggests that some of the roughly 1000 secondary metabolites produced by various lichens may prove instrumental in our ongoing battle against harmful pathogens. Want to learn more? Join us!	Articles of note Esculenta has nominated two articles for GA: Solorina crocea Verrucariaceae – a family of mostly lichenized fungi found primarily on rocks and soil in the Northern Hemisphere Solorina crocea – also known as "orange chocolate chip lichen", this was one of the first lichen species to be formally scientifically described
Project news It's been another busy month for the task force. Among the accomplishments: We've tagged another 700 articles, categories and templates as being under the purview of the task force. Importance levels have now been set for nearly all of the task force's articles. Thousands of articles have been tagged with lichen class/order/genus/species categories as appropriate. Work has continued on converting those articles which still using old "taxobox" templates to the newer automatic taxobox and speciesbox templates. There are now fewer than 95 left to modify. MerielGJones has created articles for a number of important lichenologists, including James D. Lawrey, Thomas George Allan Green, Pier Luigi Nimis, Hannes Hertel, Ludger Kappen, and Christian Leuckert. Esculenta added one for Georges Clauzade. Dozens of articles have been created for genera and species of lichen and lichenicolous fungi. The outline of lichens is now almost completely referenced. Work has continued on the Draft:Glossary of lichen terms, which will hopefully be ready to move into main space within the month.
Lichen news A recent study strongly suggests that industrial forestry, along with the introduction of nitrogen, is the main cause of lichen declines in Norway spruce forests. This decline has resulted in "cascading effects on biodiversity and function of boreal forest canopies", according to the study's authors.

Hello, I'm Zackmann08. Thank you for your recent contributions to Eric Vernon Watson. When you were adding content to the page, you added duplicate arguments to a template which can cause issues with how the template is rendered. In the future, please use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find these errors as they will display in yellow at the top of the page. You can also install the userscript found here to help find and eliminate these errors. Thanks. Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 17:38, 11 June 2026 (UTC)

Draft

Hi, thanks for getting in touch. Yes all drafts are open for anyone to edit - and a filmography would be a great addition, I am sure. Many thanks G Hildreth gazzard (talk) 15:50, 20 June 2026 (UTC)

Incidentally - also absolutely feel free to move to mainspace if you think the sources cover notability. Hildreth gazzard (talk) 16:13, 20 June 2026 (UTC)
