Get 10% of ant genera to GA or higher
{{Progression|14|47}}
Get 10% of all ant articles to GA or higher
{{Progression|27|238}}

Currently studying about animal diversity and ecology at university, with the intention to study entomology next year. Before that, I tried to join the [[Australian Army]], but a prominent health problem prevented me from actually joining. Another thing, I naturally speak English, but I am fluent in German and have some decent knowledge with Hungarian. I've been learning Romanian recently because of my partner, I don't think she wants me completely unaware of what people are saying while I'm with her family over there. Heh. 

Just here to make articles on some ants or anything else which need to be made for some knowledge and better understanding. Not sure which other articles (preferably ones in a large list) to create. I'll do some sneaking around and expand the knowledge of whatever is needed to be done. :-) As of 2015 and beyond, this is the time for "the rise of the ants" on Wikipedia, where the ant section on this site shall no longer be neglected. 

I am the original [[User:Burklemore|Burklemore]] that some of you guys may have seen. I permanently lost my password and so I edit here now, focusing on ants. Before Burklemore, I had another Wikipedia account which I forgot its name and password, and so my edits can be traced back to 2010. Of the 477 ant genera described (both living and fossil), only 2.5% of them are GA class (12 genera articles). The current goal for myself is to get 10% of all ant genera articles GA or higher, which represents 47 articles. Can it be achieved? Of course. All 12 genera articles have been promoted between June and November last year.

I also hate "Overview" sections. Too many redundancies! 

*Stuff: [[User:Burklemore1/To-do]]

=="Childhood ants"==
I have a little personal goal on writing comprehensive articles at GA or FA for certain species of ants that I have always seen as a child. I call these "childhood ants", owing to my great interest of ants as a little child and I pretty much grew up seeing them. There are more, but I can't identify them. Here they are:

{{columns-list|colwidth=30em|
*{{Icon|FA}} [[:Banded sugar ant]]
*{{Icon|GA}} [[:Black-headed sugar ant]]
*{{Icon|GA}} [[:Green-head ant]]
*{{Icon|GA}} [[:Jack jumper ant]]
*{{Icon|GA}} [[:Meat ant]]
*{{Icon|GA}} ''[[:Myrmecia nigriceps]]''
*{{Icon|Start}} ''[[:Ochetellus glaber]]''
}}

==="The big five" project===
My bigger and broader project is to work on the "big five" ants that are among the top 100 worst invaders in the world according to the Global Invasive Species Database. They are listed in order of their rank and current class of quality they are, with the goal of promoting them all to GA or FA.

{{columns-list|colwidth=30em|
*{{Icon|C}} ''[[:Anoplolepis gracilipes]]'' - Rank 6th 
*{{Icon|C}} ''[[:Linepithema humile]]'' - Rank 48th

*{{Icon|C}} ''[[:Solenopsis invicta]]'' - Rank 86th
*{{Icon|Start}} ''[[:Wasmannia auropunctata]]'' - Rank 100th

|style="vertical-align: middle; padding: 3px;" | Hey, you seem to desperately need a pat on the back :D ! Especially after I noticed [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Burklemore1/Archive_1#Challenging_myself this] and the progress you note on your userpage. It is great to see someone working so hard in a (previously neglected) field, as I wish to do something similar for [[mammal]]s, a way larger field and rather a ghost town since years.
