Anthrax irroratus moved to draftspace[edit]
An article you recently created, Anthrax irroratus, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

References are all listed. I'm 70. Cannot start to re-translate books written in Latin, German, French to put tiny little subscripts after every notation that the leg is black. iNaturalist needs this information. Don't delete it until you talk to somebody who knows insects.
Insect articles[edit]
Hi there,
I'm Zakhx150, one of the New Page Patrollers here on Wikipedia. One of the jobs I do is check new articles to make sure their content meets the requirements of the Wiki. I'm also a member of WikiProject: Insects (WP:INSECTS). I note that you've made several new articles on insect species, and added to others. It's great that you are inspired to help expand the Wiki and public knowledge of these species and I thoroughly encourage you to keep doing so!
However, I must ask you to slow down a touch and take a look at some useful guides to editing. Some of your additions to the articles are unformatted and are missing some important bits of information. There is a handy format that we use for articles about insect species. Please do take a good look at some at some of these articles Take a look at this edit you made to Exoprosopa fascipennis (click here) and compare it to a shorter article like Exoprosopa parda. The second article has all of the bits stuck into different headings and the information is referenced in the text lines rather than appearing like a block of text. If you could try to make your future edits closer to this sort of formatting, it'll mean they won't get flagged with 'having multiple issues' and it'll improve the articles significantly.
For general help on writing articles and formatting check out the information on the Wikipedia:Manual of Style, particularly this one: Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Layout. If you have any questions about this do put them on my talk page by clicking on the blue 'talk' button after my username at the end of this message. Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia, I hope you keep on editing as it is always appreciated. Best wishes. Zakhx150 (talk) 13:15, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
- I'm not going to do this. Although I've worked with computers since the 1980's, I can't follow your 'language'. Just delete my submissions. My 20 of work with insects was just a waste of time, like Wikipedia. Sincerely Jacy Lucier ~
- Well there's no need to delete the articles, they can all be amended to the house style. Wikipedia is a community and being a part of that community means trying to play by the rules that we have set for ourselves. My note is merely a friendly wave in the direction to take which best helps that community, and thus the Wiki, and then everyone who uses the Wiki. You don't even have to edit using our 'language' as you call it (Wikicode), as there is an option in the editing tabs to use a 'visual' editor which is more like using any normal word processing software. There is a tutorial here. Zakhx150 (talk) 08:44, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Jacy Lucier: Let me reinforce that the articles you have created so far can all be converted to the required Wikipedia conventions, although it's a fair bit of work. But please keep these conventions in mind when creating any further articles; it's not considered appropriate to knowingly make lots of cleanup work for others on the project. Also, please do make sure that the species articles you are adding are not actually treating synonyms. Hemipenthes seminigra is actually a junior synonym of Hemipenthes seminiger (as the ITIS entry states); in that case I just moved the article to the new name. But Hemipenthes morioides, being a synonym of Hemipenthes morio, already existed, so I have redirected your article there. Cheers --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 19:41, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
1. Hemipenthes seminiger has no documentation. ITIS cannot confirm the source. I have already given you the original description and the proper spelling of H. seminigra by Loew in 1869. Please note by ICZN rules, this name CANNOT be changed. ITIS is plain wrong.
2. Hemipenthes morioides is not a synonym of H. morio, which is European and does not have three sets of cross veins which have a light mark on each side of the vein, called aureoles. One near base, one about mid-wing, and another small one below (or R4 + R5, M2 and CUP). Hemipenthes morioides is strictly North American. DNA is established with GenBank #304244. Interesting to note that H. seminigRA is questionable as a species and may be a synonym of H. morioides. Now, doesn't that complicate things.
3. Really, I don't want to be associated with Wikipedia anymore. If I find more of my stuff, I will delete it.
Sincerely Jacy Lucier
The article Hemipenthes morioides has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Article has no contents
