Today is National Gardening Day! So unlike last week where you got out of cleaning, perhaps this week you might want to get into some dirt! Do you have a garden at your place? Or perhaps some herbs or succulents inside you could tend to? I definitely have some weeds to pull!

Here are some of the contributions I noticed around the site this week:

A few notes about what I was tagged with. 

I’m currently working on updating, simplifying and clarifying that article titled Complete a Shipt Delivery from Target. It’s a pretty major undertaking and something I can’t complete in just a mere few days given my workload with it recently. I got a repreive on Easter and even yesterday. But while I’m trying to find some doable orders, it’s harsher to find ones.  wikihow.com/index.php?title=Complete-a-Shipt-Delivery-from-Target&type=revision&diff=27989577&oldid=27970522

As for the “broken” items, I keep my eye on another wikiGnome feature - both the Wanted Templates script and Uncategorized Templates (there’s a stuck template page) - however, they are both seeing problems, so I know exactly what’s going on.

I try helping out in Wanted Files and Wanted Pages. Wanted Files has quite a bunch of stuck files, and Wanted Pages contains links used within a split-template and I don’t know the topics very well. I keep my eye on Wanted Categories, and watch for red links within https://www.wikihow.com/Special:Categories (this page for categories that hadn’t made the list yet), but it’s been very tricky with my workload lately to get into anything major.

Been in the process of creating another article too. Just got busy with pushing this Shipt article - and hoping to update and clarify another one - ahead of the article that’s being created - all because of COVID-19, having seen my Uber and Lyft workload decrease drastically.

I loved the movie Edward Scissorhands. We do have a garden and maybe my siblings will cut a jackfruit. I might do the tedious task of getting it all removed and ready.:slight_smile:

9

Thanks for the mention:slight_smile:

Most people are probably starting gardens due to this pandemic, including me.

10

Great job guys !

11

GReat job

12

Well done everyone! And thanks for mentioning me.

13

Thanks for the mentions, and congrats to all! Great work this week! If I’m correct, I believe it is also National Dolphin Day:slight_smile:

14

@VY I loved that movie too:slight_smile:

@Byankno1 thanks for the update.

@FutureHerpetologist good for you! I want to hear how it goes! 

@HelperOnWikihow it is! I was debating between a couple of different options, but thought gardening would be a good one for everyone hanging out at home. But go dolphins, too! :D 

15

Indeed, gardening was a nice choice, especially during these times at home.

16

@HelperOnWikihow I think I might adopt a dolphin soon. Not sure if today I’d have the money to do so.

17

@Byanko1 A dolphin? Me too! I’m planning to keep an Orca as a pet (I know that an Orca’s a whale).:smiley:

Congrats everyone and thanks for the mention!

18

@Byanko1 A dolphin? Wow! I never thought you could do that. Me want a banana as a pet.:smiley:Thanks for the mention.

19

Yes me neither. I want a narwhal.

Good job gang. In terms of gardening, I might go as far as to pick some fejoas.
