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... Wikimedia links and shortcuts Internal links work for linking to other wikis, and bypasses the need to paste in URLs (which tend to be both long and cryptic and make source text harder to read). This also avoids the appearance of the external link arrow ( ). Here are the prefixes and shortcuts for creating links to Misplaced Pages's sister projects: Project Example Shortcut Example wikibooks: b: commons: c: wikidata: d: meta: m: wikinews: n: phabricator: phab: wikiquote: q: wikisource: s: wikispecies: species: wikiversity: v: wikivoyage: voy: ] w: wiktionary: wikt: The long form does not work within the same project. The shortcut works everywhere. Links to foreign-language Wikiprojects can be made by prefixing the language code: ] will link to the German-language Wikisource, ] to the French-language Wiktionary, etc. You can use piped links ( "|" ) to avoid seeing the colons in the link.

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. This user thinks it is ironic that thanks for supporting Cyde's successful RFA came in the form of a userbox. This user is a member of the Welcoming Committee.

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.
