Welcome to Wikipedia, Polinizador! I am Stormtracker94 and have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page or by typing {{helpme}} at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message!

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome!

Categories for bees versus "apoids"

Hi. Just so you understand; "Category:Bees" is a sub-category of "Category:Apoidea" (it wasn't for some reason, but that was an oversight, or possibly an error by an earlier editor). Accordingly, in the future, please do NOT place any bee-related articles into the Apoidea category; since the categories are hierarchical, inclusion in the "Bees" category automatically places an article into the Apoidea category. Manually adding the Apoidea category to an article (e.g., Apidae) only results in a duplicate entry. Essentially, the Apoidea category tag shold only go into articles dealing with "sphecoid" wasps (there is no superfamily Sphecoidea any more, and they are not bees). Thanks. Dyanega (talk) 18:02, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

The hierarchical categories are straightforward; if Apoidea is a sub-category of Hymenoptera, then all of the articles in the Apidoea category will ALSO appear on the Hymenoptera category page. Likewise, all articles in the "Bees" category will appear on both the Apoidea category page AND the Hymenoptera category page. As for "Bumblebees", that was a pointless category, since there are only a few species that have their own articles, and they are already linked to from the Bumblebee main article. That was not my idea, but there's no reason to delete the category at this point; it does no harm to have it there. Dyanega (talk) 23:31, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Reply:Sandbox/article

The reason for sandbox articles are for keeping drafts. When making large changes to an article, it's sometimes easier to make a draft on your subpage so it doesn't get edited by anyone except yourself. You can stand up and finish your draft anytime you like. I have to admit that I'm not working on the Bee article anymore nor really ever was, the reason why I had that was for beta testing of the Simple English link in the article (scroll down to the external links in my article and you'll see a Simple link). The reason why it showed up in those categories is because originally, the bee article was in those categories, I just copy-pasted the entire article (including categories) onto my subpage. Hope that helps, if you have any further questions, feel free to ask any. -- penubag  (talk) 02:38, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Since you seem so interested in categories, you might like this catgraph. Just type the title of any category and click create graph. -- penubag  (talk) 04:14, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

I noticed your comment on its Commons page that the identified species is wrong; I see that you're an expert in the topic. What species is it? Please reply on my talk page here at the English Wikipedia. I was the uploaded of the misidentified flickr image. I'm an admin on both projects so I'm able to deal with any problem like this. Thanks for bringing it up! Royalbroil 01:38, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

October 2018

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

I noticed your recent edit to Polygonia interrogationis does not have an edit summary. Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

• User contributions
• Recent changes
• Watchlists
• Revision differences
• IRC channels
• Related changes
• New pages list
• Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Ditto for most of your edits. It would be helpful to your collaborators here. Eric ^talk 21:34, 7 October 2018 (UTC)

Diastrophus

Hello, I noticed you are competent in North American entomology and you uploaded Diastrophus nemorosus images on Commons. Therefore, I allow myself to ask you for information. I am currently writing an article on the French wikipedia about Diastrophus. On one hand, the validity of included species seems quite random according to the database reference lists and on the other hand Diastrophus nemorosus appears on no database. Could you help me? Thanks in advance. (Sorry for my bad english) --Abalg (talk) 09:33, 3 March 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for your reply. The database site on hymenoptera is up to date and quite helpful. More, I found enough scientific studies to write the article on the species Diastrophus nebulosus. Have a nice day. --Abalg (talk) 05:03, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

Self-redirects

As I see you are fixing some of these by creating the missing species articles, you might want to have a look at this discussion: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Tree_of_Life#Request_for_comment,_qBugbot_and_self-redirects - that should hopefully sort out many of these annoying loops!

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Dynamic reserve, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Growth (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 08:03, 10 August 2019 (UTC)

Help me!

I understand that it is possible to send an e-mail to other contributor through Wikipedia but I don't know how. Can you help me? Thanks.

Polinizador (talk) 16:27, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

Howdy - not that I'm an admin or anything, but your talk page is still on my watchlist, so... :)

The recipient has to have email enabled in their preferences; if they haven't, you can't send them any. If they have, there will be a link in the left sidebar, under Tools - "Email this user". I can see it in your case. Hope that helps. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 16:41, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

Inga feuillei

Why did you rename the page of a correctly named species? Inga feuillei was correctly spelled, before you changed it to Inga feuilleei. See http://plantsoftheworldonline.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:128507-2 or https://tropicos.org/name/13006256. The name of the person it was named for does not have to match. That is not how binomial priority is adjudicated. PametUGlavu (talk) 20:59, 20 August 2021 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Inga feuillei

Hello, Polinizador,

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

I wanted to let you know, however, that I have tagged an article that you started, Inga feuillei, for deletion, because it is a very short article that doesn't provide readers with enough context to determine who or what the subject is.

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|Hughesdarren}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!
