Bombus hyperboreus
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ee/Classroom_handout_-_Submitting_an_article_to_the_Did_You_Know_process.pdf/page1-1275px-Classroom_handout_-_Submitting_an_article_to_the_Did_You_Know_process.pdf.jpg)
Nice work on the Bombus hyperboreus article. I wonder if you would 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. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 03:23, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
===Thank you Ian! I will check out that pdf and submit my article when I get a chance. Megxb (talk) 19:46, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
- A reviewer of your DYK nom has posed a question about it. Could you take a look at it? Thanks. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 03:31, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
- I have replied to your comment. Yes, please suggest a new hook. sst✈ 13:52, 22 October 2015 (UTC)
DYK for Bombus hyperboreus
[edit]![]() | On 5 November 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Bombus hyperboreus, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the queen Bombus hyperboreus kills the queen of another bumblebee species and takes over its colony? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Bombus hyperboreus. 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. |
