Hello, I'm Tymon.r. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —specifically this edit to Phoneutria nigriventer—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help desk. Thanks. Tymon.r Do you have any questions? 00:47, 15 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop adding unsourced or poorly sourced content. This violates Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Tymon.r Do you have any questions? 00:51, 15 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Bothrops insularis. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted.

Recent edit to Phoneutria fera

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Phoneutria fera, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you!

Sicarius rugosus moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Sicarius rugosus, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. — Sagotreespirit (^talk) 23:49, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sources, italics

I appreciate that all your edits are well meant, but:

We can only add sourced information to Wikipedia. All statements must be supported by a reference.
You need to be careful about "reference capture". Consider your addition of "Paraguay and recently in South Brazil" to Latrodectus mirabilis at Latrodectus. The reference for the whole list, and hence the distributions, is the World Spider Catalog. At [1], this only has "Argentina", so if you want to add more countries, you need also to add a separate reference.
Please remember to italicize all scientific names at the rank of genus or below.

About Sicarius tropicus

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Sicarius tropicus a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you.

Copying licensed material requires attribution

Hi. I see in a recent addition to Sicarius ornatus you included material from a webpage that is available under a compatible Creative Commons Licence. That's okay, but you have to give attribution so that our readers are made aware that you copied the prose rather than wrote it yourself. I've added the attribution for this particular instance. Please make sure that you follow this licensing requirement when copying from compatibly-licensed material in the future. — Diannaa (talk) 13:33, 27 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

more uncited edits

Oi. Por favor, não adicionar informações que não inclui um link para um confiável fonte publicada. Em particular, preste atenção para as declarações em WP:RS, e, especialmente, este sobre Facebook: "Content from websites whose content is largely user-generated is also generally unacceptable. Sites with user-generated content include personal websites, personal blogs, group blogs, content farms, and Internet forums; social media sites such as Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, Instagram, Reddit; IMDb, Ancestry.com, Find-a-Grave, ODMP; most wikis, including Wikipedia, and other collaboratively created websites." Além disso, não adicionar informações que não está incluída na publicação citada - por exemplo, o papel de Binford & Wells não menciona Sicarius ornatus. Continuação da edição disruptiva em violação das normas de WP pode exigir intervenção por um administrador. Dyanega (talk) 17:45, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Sicarius rugosus

Hello, Nick Falcão. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Sicarius rugosus".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! UnitedStatesian (talk) 22:57, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Italics for scientific names

Hi, can I remind you that scientific names of genera and species should be in italics, e.g. in your recent edit to Sicarius thomisoides. Thanks! Peter coxhead (talk) 18:01, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
