draft

Hi, did not see that [1] had been created by a banned editor, --Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 12:23, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. Their puppet names have been quite varied. The key identifier is that almost every edit summary is something like "create new user" or "create new article", etc. - UtherSRG (talk) 12:25, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

will be much more careful, thanks Ozzie--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 12:32, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Kibo no shirei-kan (07:01, 19 July 2024)

Is there a page where translation requests are? --Kibo no shirei-kan (talk) 07:01, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, its a set of categories. Looks like the top level is Category:Articles_needing_translation_from_foreign-language_Wikipedias. From there, you should be able to drill down to a language you can translate from. - UtherSRG (talk) 11:12, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tags on AfC article

Hello - I saw that you added some tags to a recently published AfC article (Hemaris aethra), and I am a bit confused. You tagged it as needing to be rewritten to meet Wikipedia's quality standards; I looked through the article again and I cannot tell why the article as a whole would need to be rewritten, and there was no explanation on the talk page. If you tell me what the template was placed for so I can try to improve the article, I would appreciate it.

You also tagged it as needing additional inline citations corresponding to the full references. I am not sure what exactly needs to be cited that isn't already - I don't want to overcite, and to be honest, I thought I had done a fairly thorough job with the citations. Is it the two paragraphs in the description section that only have one citation per paragraph? Or the Threats and conservation section?

Also - this may just be me misunderstanding the content assessment system, but it seems like you changed the initial reviewer's assessment of C-class to start-class. Is this because of writing issues or referencing? Is it too short to be C-class?

Thank you! I am new to this process and would appreciate any clarification here. Dicynodont (talk) 00:13, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Compare the article against other C- and B-level species articles. That'll give you an idea what is typical, what is expected, and what isn't. The only qualifying article in the genus is Hemaris thysbe so you may as well start there. Your article doesn't need to be rewritten from scratch, but does need significant reorganization. The Taxonomy section is written in a manner I don't think I've seen any other species article's taxonomy section written. Um... You're right, though... there's only one place where referencing is lacking, so I'll tag it and remove the referencing tags. - UtherSRG (talk) 00:22, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for clarifying. I'll look at some C- and B-class species articles and try to model the article more closely after those. Dicynodont (talk) 03:30, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
