Welcome to WikiProject Lepidoptera
[edit]Hi Taxidermistjake,
Welcome to WikiProject Lepidoptera. This wikiproject is fairly new and active participation of all members is solicited. The project aims to help you to create quality articles about Lepidoptera.
Do visit all the project subpages and we would be very happy to answer any queries. All you need to do is post a message on the project talk page.
The project has started discussion regarding guidelines to be followed by all while writing articles and at present there is a policy discussion going on [here]. May I request your valuable contribution and counsel, as a member of WikiProject Lepidoptera, in this regard.
On a personal note, I hope the first image on our Project page gladdened you. Besides you, User:Kugamazog is active in Family Sphingidae and User:HKmoths is very good with tropical Sphingids. Be sure to photograph all stages of the life cycle, including food plants, various instars, parasites or morphs of the moths you breed. Once again, a warm welcome to the project.
Regards, AshLin 18:24, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
Re the time thingy
[edit]Seek and thy shall find on this very page itself. Besides the warm welcome, there is some useful information also. AshLin 18:58, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
Adding references
[edit]Hi Jake,
Information in wikipedia is often discounted or considered reliable simply by the presence or absence of referencing, and the quality of it. So your list is just so much more text unless you add the references. This link will tell you how to go about this.
Best wishes, AshLin 19:36, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
- You can see List of butterflies of India (Pyrginae) for some examples of referencing. Click edit to see the relevant wikitext. Not the most elegant solution but exact. AshLin 19:47, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
Talk pages
[edit]Hi Jake,
Please create talk pages for each stub you create. Simply click on the red-link tab which says 'talk' and add {{LepidopteraTalk|stub|low}} in the talk page. If you do this as you create there will be no backlog of work. If you dont, all your articles cannot be traced from WikiProject Lepidoptera nor will they come in the project statistics.
If you need clarification, dont hesitate to ask. Regards, AshLin 09:38, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
Great work, Jake
[edit]Nice work with the lists. This is the first Lepidoptera family to be fully listed on Wikipedia! Keep up the good work populating the stubs. Post if you need help. Regards, AshLin 18:02, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
When is an article B-class
[edit]Hi Jake,
Papilio_polytes, Danaus_chrysippus are much better candidates for B, when your moth articles have that kind/amount of text, they can be considered B class. Also dont forget the criteria:
- The article is "almost there" but it may be missing one of the following: references, balance of content, NPOV or an important section. Alternatively, the English may need a comprehensive rewrite to make it flow.
So if you want a species wiki to be B class, you will have to make it complete to a much larger extent than now.
Regards, AshLin 13:39, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for you input on moths
[edit]I see that you are doing great work on moth pages and the like. I just wanted to note a formatting mistake that some of your pages tend to have. You often times use a comma after the title when it is grammatically unnecessary (e.g., Manduca extrema, Manduca dalica). Keep up the good work though. Jason Quinn (talk) 18:48, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
