Valfarly chanced upon wikipedia and thought "that'll never work"... but after using it a few times, he eventually got sufficently annoyed by a typo to do something about it and on 15th March 2004 hit edit. From there it was a slippery slope to writing articles for things he found no-one else had written about and adding tidbits, factoids and other nuggets of information to previously covered topics. Finds himself correcting spelling and grammar far too often!
Wikipedia:Did you know... is a section you can see on the Main Page. It showcases new or recently expanded articles that are selected through an informal review process. It is not a general trivia section.
Wikipedia:Did you know (WP:DYK) is the project page for the "Did you know" section. For the discussion page see WT:DYK.
Beginners should consult this Did You Know glossary if they don't understand any of the terms used. Beginners may like to start by looking at a summary of our many rules: this provides links to pages with more detailed explanations (which in turn may link to even more detailed pages).
The chestnut-crowned antpitta (Grallaria ruficapilla) is a species of bird in the antpitta family, Grallariidae. It is found in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. It is around 18 to 23 centimetres (7.1 to 9.1 in) long, with a mass of 70 to 98 grams (2.5 to 3.5 oz). The sexes have the same plumage. Adults of the nominate subspeciesG. r. ruficapilla have a rufous crown, nape, and face with an olive-colored back, rump, tail, and wings. Its throat, breast, and belly are white with ochraceous edges on some breast feathers, and olivaceous and blackish streaks on their sides and sometimes their breast. This chestnut-crowned antpitta perching on a branch was photographed in the Río Blanco Ecological Reserve in Manizales, Colombia.Photograph credit: Charles J. Sharp
