Welcome!

Hello, Bsnow2014, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Elysia and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

You can find answers to many student questions on our Q&A site, ask.wikiedu.org

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Elysia (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:35, 3 December 2018 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia

Hi, thanks for your article Linepithema humile virus 1. There's a lot to learn when creating whole articles, so don't be discouraged by my comments here. It's not allowed to use Wikipedia itself as a reference (see Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a reliable source), so I replaced all occurrences of links back to Wikipedia by "citation needed" – some of them can be removed, I think, but it's better if you look at it. The same applies to sister projects, like WikiBooks.

Also we use ICTV2018 for taxonomy – online at [1]. The ICTV does not appear to recognize "Linepithema humile virus 1". Peter coxhead (talk) 10:31, 15 February 2019 (UTC)
