A note about International Nudibranch Day on March 6th

Dear Ngwilson, I welcome you to Wikipedia. I hope you will be able to enjoy working here and make more contributions. However the article you prepared in your sandbox and then posted in article space, International Nudibranch Day, has no references at all, and that is a problem.

It seems as if International Nudibranch Day is something you wish existed, but that does not yet exist. There seem to be no reliable sources to back up the claim that it exists.

If I am wrong and this does exist and can be proved with reliable third party published sources, please let me know, and we can fix up the article as needed. :)

All best wishes, Invertzoo (talk) 17:25, 6 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

NOTE:

Please do not create, maintain or restore hoaxes on Wikipedia. Hoaxes are eligible for speedy deletion. If you are interested in how accurate Wikipedia is, a more constructive test method would be to try to find inaccurate statements that are already in Wikipedia — and then to correct them if possible. Please do not disrupt Wikipedia. Feel free to take a look at the five pillars of Wikipedia to learn more about this project and how you can contribute constructively. Thank you.

Update

I was able to "move" the article to a different title, and change the emphasis a bit. That is called "rescuing' it. Now it will be fine and will not get deleted.

By the way... are you Nerida Wilson of the Marine Invertebrates Lab at the Australia Museum in Sydney?

http://spineless.ucsd.edu/nerida.html

If so, then it's really nice to meet you. I am Susan J. Hewitt. I am from Britain but I live in NYC. I am a series amateur who studies mollusks -- I have 43 publications. Best wishes, Invertzoo (talk) 19:07, 6 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Gastropods

We do have a project on here which is all about improving the extent and quality of Wikipedia's coverage of gastropods. Maybe you would be interested in joining?

Take a look now at the article you started (which has changed a lot) and look at its talk page. On the talk page you will see a link to the gastropod project and its talk page.

Best to you, Invertzoo (talk) 19:17, 6 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Discussing your edits

Dear Ngwilson, You have not replied to any of the messages I have left here on your talk page, and you have not commented on any post on the talk page of the article that you started. I must give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you don't know that these pages exist. But on Wikipedia it is important to work in collaboration with others, and that requires discussing things. I would like to encourage you to talk things through on your talk page or on the article talk page instead of edit-warring. Please talk here instead of emailing me in person. Thank you.

Recent edit to Symposia and workshops on opisthobranchs

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that you removed some content from Symposia and workshops on opisthobranchs without 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; I restored the removed content. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you!

Your submission at Articles for creation: Conxita Avila Escartín (October 3)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Onel5969 was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of people, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Currently, all the citations are to primary sources. You need in-depth coverage from several sources to show they pass notability. Their citation count on Scholar is anemic, so they most likely wouldn't pass WP:NACADEMIC

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Conxita Avila Escartín and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
