Welcome edit

Hello, Kew8888 and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are participating in a class project. If you haven't done so already, we encourage you to go through our training for students.

Go through our online training for students.

If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Please also read this helpful advice for students.

Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.

Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, and if your class doesn't already have one please tell your instructor about that. It is highly recommended that you place this text: {{Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and aid your communication with them.

We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished! --I am k6ka Talk to me! See what I have done 16:31, 27 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

Reference errors on 27 September edit

  Hello, I'm ReferenceBot. I have automatically detected that an edit performed by you may have introduced errors in referencing. It is as follows:

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, ReferenceBot (talk) 00:33, 28 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

While you did a really impressive job expanding that article, more than a few of your references are incorrectly formatted, which you can see if you look at the reference section. There are also some missing parameters which makes the references very difficult to interpret. When your readers can't figure out what reference you had in mind, it's little different to the problem created by not having a source at all.

That said, if you can fix the references I think you will have a good candidate to submit for the "Did you know...?" feature. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 05:01, 29 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

A page you started (Perdita portalis) has been reviewed! edit

Thanks for creating Perdita portalis, Kew8888!

Wikipedia editor Animalparty just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

You may want to reduce (or at least explain) the level of jargon and technical terms, see WP:MTAU. Also, it is common (and often preferred, stylistically) to abbreviate the name to P. portalis after first mention.

To reply, leave a comment on Animalparty's talk page.
