Welcome!

Hello, Chelseanav23, 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.

Chrysochus auratus (Dogbane Beetle) moved to draftspace

Thanks for constructing a well-referenced article on this species! However, the way you went about publishing it produces a number of problems :) I have moved it back as a draft so that we can sort this out in an efficient fashion.

a) There is already an article for this species: Chrysochus auratus. In such a case, please do not create a new article under an alternative name, but rather improve the existing article with the new material. Add the new stuff right in, together with the new references.

b) You provide a number of references, but it is entirely unclear which reference refers to which part of the text! To fix this, please place each "ref" tag at the end of the sentence or paragraph that it pertains to (after the final punctuation). The existing article has a "Reference" section at the end, where all of these will then be automatically listed.

I'm not asking you to do this because I can't be bothered, but because I expect you will want your work reflected in the editing history of the article. If I just copy all the text over and ask for your original to be deleted (which is what would have to be done) this attribution is lost. So please, do go ahead and insert this material into Chrysochus auratus. I'll be happy to fix up any formatting issues that arise. (Also feel free to drop me a note on my talk page if required).

Your draft article, Draft:Chrysochus auratus (Dogbane Beetle)

Hello, Chelseanav23. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Chrysochus auratus".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! UnitedStatesian (talk) 20:21, 25 November 2020 (UTC)

• I have incorporated much of your material into the existing article, Chrysochus auratus, and am requesting a history merge to preserve the attribution to you. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 20:42, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
