Picture of the day Colias croceus, also known as the clouded yellow, is a small butterfly of the family Pieridae, the yellows and whites. Its breeding range is North Africa and southern Europe and eastwards through Turkey into the Middle East, but it occurs throughout much of Europe as a summer migrant, sometimes as far north as Scandinavia. In Asia, its range extends into central Siberia in the north and barely into India in the south, although it is not found in Central Asia. The species can live in any open area in the countryside, including downland, coastal cliffs and fields containing the caterpillar's host plants, at an elevation up to 1,600 metres (5,200 ft) above sea level. Colias croceus has a wingspan of 46–54 millimetres (1.8–2.1 in), with the upperside of its wing being golden to orange yellow with a broad black margin on all four wings and a black spot near the centre forewing. This mating pair was photographed in Pirin National Park, Bulgaria.Photograph credit: Charles J. Sharp Archive – More featured pictures...

Tip of the moment... What is a Talk page? A Talk page (also known as a discussion page) is a place for contributors to calmly discuss improvements to Misplaced Pages pages. It is not a forum. All Misplaced Pages pages, including articles and user pages alike, have a corresponding Talk page. To switch to the current page's Talk page, click on the "Talk" tab above the page's title. At the very top of the page there is always a link to your Talk page. All content and conduct issues should be discussed at either the article's or user's Talk page before requesting dispute resolution. You can {{ping}} specific editors whom you would like to notify of your message post. Though there is no need to ping someone when you've edited their Talk page, because the Wikimedia software automatically notifies that user.

This user understands that no user on Misplaced Pages 'owns' any of its pages and welcomes the assistance of others in making this page perfect. This user is a wikignome.

Most of my work is copy and grammar editing as I go reading through articles. I have created two so far, listed here:

• First Internet Backgammon Server, featured on the main page DYK.
• Up to eleven, featured on main page DYK.

My latest project was cross referencing List of notable alumni of Berklee College of Music with Category:Berklee College of Music alumni including a change of the category name and update of all linked articles. I also recently created Category:Berklee College of Music faculty.

You can also look at Malber's Contributions for what I'm working on currently. I RC Patrol new pages where I do clean-up WP:MOS formatting, stub sort, and nominate for speedy deletion or WP:PROD the nonsense.

I have made over 3000 edits since registering my username. My 1000th edit is rather inauspicious. My 2000th edit is merely the posting of the {{Idw-pui}} template on a user's talk page. I have no clue what my 3000th edit is. Edit counts are fatal.

I've created a template for RfA noms to address the issues of WP:IAR and WP:SNOW. Please feel free to use my template {{subst:User:Malber/rfaq|YOURUSERNAME|NEXTNUMBER}}. The first modifier should be your username. The second should be the next number in the order of questions. Be sure to subst it or the nominee won't know how to edit the answer. If you find this useful, please leave me a message on talk.
