Speedy deletion nomination of Stethojulis balteata

Hello, Anuinhawaii,

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username MPGuy2824, and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I have tagged Stethojulis balteata for deletion, because it doesn't appear to contain any encyclopedic content. You may find our guide for writing quality articles to be extremely informative. Also, you may want to consider working on future articles in draft space first, where they cannot be deleted for lacking content.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top. If the page is already deleted by the time you come across this message and you wish to retrieve the deleted material, please contact the deleting administrator.

For any further query, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|MPGuy2824}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

Talk page templates

Aloha! I appreciate your work creating and editing articles for species of limu and other marine species from Hawaii. I know you have gotten messages about this and that, so I don’t want to discourage you, but I do have one request. If you could add WikiProject templates to the talk pages of your new articles, that would help a bunch. Then the editors in those projects will get to see what is happening and the articles will get categorized in the right maintenance categories. Thanks again, and keep up the good work! --awkwafaba (📥) 02:48, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

Aloha!

Thank you for your encouraging word and suggestion. As you have figured out I am new here, trying to help my students adding missing information on species native to Hawaii as part of a class supported by WikiEdu. Can you be more specific on what you mean with adding WikiProject templates? Anuinhawaii (talk) 22:32, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

Sounds like a good task you set your students on. So WikiProjects are groups of editors working on a certain topic. There are many of them, such as WikiProject Hawaii, WikiProject Marine life, or WikiProject Fishes. So if you have an article about a marine fish that is found around Hawaiʻi, you add {{WikiProject Hawaii}}, {{WikiProject Marine life}}, and {{WikiProject Fishes}} to the top of the talk page. There are other parameters you can add, but just having those templates there will loop in folks in those projects that there’s a new article to check out and contribute to. There are many tasks, like image searches, that you can run on articles in a WikiProject. It’s just another way to organize. Does that make sense? --awkwafaba (📥) 01:59, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

Mahalo! that is very helpful and makes total sense. Anuinhawaii (talk) 02:04, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

Nice work on your algae articles. I added a speciesbox and other stuff, give me a yell if you need a hand. Cheers

Hughesdarren (talk) 02:26, 10 September 2022 (UTC)

thank you!!! Hopefully I will have students in my marine bio class work on some of these over this Fall semester. Anuinhawaii (talk) 02:28, 10 September 2022 (UTC)

Good luck, hope the course goes well, if you need a hand in any way let me know. All the best. Hughesdarren (talk) 02:37, 11 September 2022 (UTC)

Please fill out

Please remember to fill out new articles a bit more. You're not a beginner anymore. As a minimum, categories should be added. Preferably a species box (infobox) as well. Thanks in advance, 82.147.39.130 (talk) 08:47, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

February 2024

Hello, I'm Sumanuil. I noticed that you recently removed content from Conus leviteni without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. - Sumanuil. _{(talk to me)} 04:11, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for letting me know. I tried to update the page to its current taxonomic status. Per WORMS, Conus leviteni is not an accepted species anymore and the currently listed synonyms are not accepted neither. The species is now called Conus purus. https://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=429445 Iʻm having my students work on the stub article this semester and tried to get it updated, but struggled with this one. Iʻm happy for any advice to make this update correctly. Anuinhawaii (talk) 04:20, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

Start by providing more references, rather than just removing existing ones. Also, don't "correct" Wikipedia markup like file names. - Sumanuil. _{(talk to me)} 04:30, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

My students will provide more information and references. However, currently this species article is about a species that is non-existing under this name as its taxonomic name changed. (See my reference provided) how do I change that? That is my main point I tried to change Anuinhawaii (talk) 04:32, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

You need to request a move. Follow the instructions here: Wikipedia:Requested_moves#Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves and provide as many sources as you can. - Sumanuil. _{(talk to me)} 06:12, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

thank you!!! Anuinhawaii (talk) 07:04, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

Commenting on sandboxes

Please don't make your comments in the sandbox. Comments should go on the talk page. I've reverted these comments. - UtherSRG (talk) 14:29, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi, I am giving comments to my student's sandboxes. They struggle as is as this is an assignment in an online asynchronous class, so trying to keep things simple. Commenting in their class-related sandbox has worked and I already told them that their comments are there so i will keep putting them there. Sorry, might not be perfect Wikipedia protocol... but... Anuinhawaii (talk) 19:24, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

No, please do not do this. Please only make comments on talk pages. If you want, do it on the talk page of the sandbox itself, but not on the sandbox. - UtherSRG (talk) 19:30, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

well... I'm sorry but this is how i have been doing this for several semesters now. And things are set-up like that with instructions like that. Students struggle having to go between multiple pages. Yes, they do the training on those pages on the Wikipedia Education course site. But this is the reality and commenting on their sandboxes has been the most effective way for them improving on their drafts. I can make changes for next semester but at this point it is too late to make changes for this semester. please stay away from my student's sandboxes. Anuinhawaii (talk) 19:33, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

It's never too late to make changes. Tell them you've been wrong and that you've been corrected and that you wil now do things right, even though the course material is not in alignment. - UtherSRG (talk) 19:36, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

Teach your students the right way to do things, by doing them right yourself. - UtherSRG (talk) 19:31, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

it's too complicated for them, too many steps. I'd rather go back to google docs then... next semester. Anuinhawaii (talk) 19:36, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

If doing the right thing on Wikipedia is too hard for you, then you shouldn't be teaching via Wikipedia. - UtherSRG (talk) 19:37, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

ok, I apologize but I am also just figuring things out. I moved all comments somewhere else. I thought those sandboxes were for my students for their Wikipedia assignments only so nobody else but me and them would see them. It was just a shock this morning when getting your message after having worked on Wikipedia draft comments till late last night and then seeing them all gone this morning and then having to fix things while I was supposed to do other things. Anuinhawaii (talk) 20:12, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

@Ian (Wiki Ed): Please comment. - UtherSRG (talk) 19:38, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

@UtherSRG While talk pages are the appropriate place for feedback per Wikipedia norms, they suck as places to give feedback, especially when it's close, line-by-line feedback. I think being able to give clear, helpful feedback is more important than abiding by "the rules". Especially when it's in userspace. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 21:15, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

Oh Ian... we have enough trouble with folks coming into Wikipedia not knowing how to behave. We don't need folks being actively trained in the wrong behavior! - UtherSRG (talk) 11:32, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
