I am fancy of DYKs and the process of updating queues. I like translating pages (to Vietnamese). My main wiki is viwiki, which I have contributed a lot here.

Anna Filosofova

Anna Filosofova (1837–1912) was a Russian feminist of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Born into a noble family, she married Vladimir Filosofov at a young age and had six children. Concerned with the plight of serfs, Filosofova became a feminist in the late 1850s, educated in the salon of Maria Trubnikova. Alongside Trubnikova and Nadezhda Stasova, Filosofova was an early leader of the Russian women's movement; the three were called the "triumvirate". They founded and led several organizations to promote women's cultural and economic independence, such as a publishing house and a women's shelter. They pressured government officials to allow higher education for women, resulting in the creation of the Bestuzhev Courses. From 1879 to 1881, Filosofova was exiled, suspected of revolutionary sympathies; abroad, she became a theosophist. In later life, she participated in the Russian Revolution of 1905 and chaired the first Russian women's congress in 1908, becoming a revered feminist figure. (Full article...)

Flame-faced tanager
The flame-faced tanager (Tangara parzudakii) is a species of bird in the tanager family, Thraupidae. It is endemic to South America and is found in the eastern Andes of Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela, its natural habitat being subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. The flame-faced tanager is a distinctive-looking species with black and opalescent-green upperparts, opalescent-green and buff underparts, and a deep-red and yellow face. The subspecies T. p. lunigera lacks the deep red on the face, which is replaced with orangish-red. It is an omnivorous bird, feeding on fruit and arthropods found mostly on mossy branches. It breeds in the rainy season with eggs laid in clutches of two and fledglings fed by both parents. Although it is listed as a least-concern species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, it is facing population decline due to habitat destruction. This flame-faced tanager of the subspecies T. p. parzudakii was photographed perching on a branch in the Parque Verde y Agua in Colombia's Cundinamarca Department.Photograph credit: Charles J. Sharp

How to get a list of a page's subpages

Subpages are pages that have a parent page. They share their parent page's title, followed by a "/" (slash), followed by their own name. The Wikipedia, Portal, and User namespaces allow subpages. WikiProjects, user pages and Portals often have subpages. Below are two options to obtain a list of subpages for a particular page.

* Option 1: In the left toolbar, under tools, select Page Information and an information page is shown. In the first table, there is a link for Subpages of this page.

* Option 2: Click on Special pages in the toolbox menu on the left side of your screen. Then click on All pages with prefix which is under the header Lists of pages. Then select the namespace the page is in (from the pulldown menu), and enter the pagename in the inbox, and add a forward slash (/) to the end of the pagename. So if the pagename is "Wikipedia", then you should enter Wikipedia/ in the inbox. Then press the Show button. The subpages are displayed at the bottom. If nothing happens after pressing "Show", this means the page has no subpages.
