The first edition of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Tree of Life/Contest|our new monthly contest]] had perhaps a little less participation than I hoped for, but it still resulted in a huge amount of content work, mainly focussed on de-stubbing articles on little-known species, although we did also see two GAs for [[Holozoa]] and ''[[Hypericum perforatum]]''. Overall, over 60 articles were improved, with most going from stubs or redlinks to fully fleshed out articles. The winner this month was {{noping|Simongraham}}, who improved 21 articles about spiders, mainly to B and C class, and racked up 70 points, over twice the next highest. Hopefully, we'll continue to see such great work next month, with even more participants and even more articles improved.
<br>
<small>Also anyone who wants to help coordinate the contest can just drop by at [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Tree of Life/Contest|the talk page]], I really need help.</small>
