Scaptotrigona postica edit
Really nice job expanding the Scaptotrigona postica article. However, I noticed that there are a few sections that lack supporting citations - for example, the sex determination section. It would be helpful if you ensured that every statement in the article was clearly tied to a supporting citation.
I also noticed that you didn't add your article to any categories. Categories help keep Wikipedia organized, and let more people find your work. Using the visual editor, you can add categories quickly by clicking the menu button and selecting 'categories'. The best way to find out which categories might be right for your article is to find similar articles on Wikipedia which already have categories. Some you can copy right over (if they're both American scientists), others you may have to pick a related or parent category. Don't worry about getting too precise with categories. So long as the categories you add are correct, another editor can more narrowly categorize your article.
You might also like to consider submitting it as a candidate for the "Did you know...?" feature. DYKs (as they are commonly called) are short snippets taken from Wikipedia's newest articles and, if approved, appear on the Main Page. You can learn more about this by clicking on the image to the right to access a nice pdf outlining the process. You have seven days from when the article was created or moved into mainspace to submit the article. Assuming, of course, that you're interested. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:24, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for October 15 edit
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Scaptotrigona postica, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Combs, Sterile and Virgin queen. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

DYK for Scaptotrigona postica edit
 | On 2 November 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Scaptotrigona postica, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Scaptotrigona postica worker bees can trace the scent markers of workers from other colonies in order to find food sources? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Scaptotrigona postica. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |
