[edit] Hello, I'm Clubjustin. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —the one you made with this edit to Glacies alpinata— because it did not appear constructive. 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. Thanks.

- OK, as you want, but for me, "The larva feed" is The larva feeds or The larvae feed. Isn'it a mistake?
- Seriously one of my jobs is to find more interesting external links or references. See tiny new change of Glacies alpinata.
- Thanks.

- Looks like a correct edit to me as well, although I'd personally prefer 'larvae feed' over 'larva feeds'. 'Larva feed' is a grammatical error plain and simple. Retitling the Lepiforum EL is also right but can look vandalism-ish if one's not familiar with the ref, I guess, though that link is broken and should be replaced anyway. Not sure why you reordered the external links but not wrong. Keeping the ELs from flowing next to the image is perfectly fine (though not strictly necessary, but it does look better). Thanks for the good work you've been doing on Lepidoptera. AddWittyNameHere (talk) 15:56, 13 March 2017 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your edits! WikiProject Lepidoptera can use all the additional hands it can get—especially when they're willing to help with highly necessary but hardly glorious tasks like updating and adding references. From what I can see, you're doing an absolutely fantastic job so far.

Cymatophorima diluta/Cymatophorina diluta pageswap-move done.
[edit]Hello again! I'm glad you liked the cat. :) As to the encouragement, you're more than welcome. How do you like Wikipedia so far? I've moved the page as you requested. (Or rather, pageswapped it; the correct title already existed, but as redirect to the misspelled title. Now things are in the right order, though. ) Feel free to hop over to my talk page or ping me to yours whenever you find a page that needs moving, or if you have any other questions or something you need or would like help with. :) (By the way, do you have any preference in whether I respond to messages you leave on my talkpage here on yours or over there with a ping to let you know I've answered?)

[edit]Hello again. Sorry for the somewhat late response, I've been having trouble with my internet connection for the past week. It's stable again now and hopefully the problems are resolved. It certainly looks like Griposia aprilina, rather than Dichonia aprilina, is the more commonly used form. I'd need to take a slightly closer look, because occasionally you get species where a synonym is in more common use than the actual valid name, but from what I can see so far, that isn't the case here and the page should indeed be moved. If I don't find anything unexpected after digging a bit further, I'll see to moving the page. As to your job on moths, you're doing well. :) I saw you've been adding wikilinks to the relevant binomial authority when there's an article on 'm. Great! Hopefully one day every species described by an author with article will actually have that article linked. Some of the taxonomists with an article--hopefully some day, all taxonomists that have an article except perhaps the few who have only an extremely small number of taxa to their name, just other discoveries--also have an accompanying category in the categorization tree Category:Taxa by author. If you'd like, you could add those categories while adding the appropriate links, or at least for a handful of the more prolific taxon authors with categories. (Though if you'd rather not, don't worry. Eventually someone will get around to it, and adding them to the appropriate categories is already a lot less work when the relevant taxa are easy to find because they all link to the author's article and thus find-able through 'What links here'. It's one of two methods I use. One is 'categorizing taxa by a specific author', for which I comb through the 'What links here' on those authors I know have a category; the other is 'categorizing articles as I come across them doing other stuff', which I only do if I happen to know that a category exists and what exactly it is called) Your other work--adding the relevant external links and such--is also much appreciated. Even if those links sometimes are even better used as reference, or include information that probably should be incorporated in the article, having them as external link still is a lot better than not having them at all, and it saves people who want to expand an article some time looking. So all in all, great job! AddWittyNameHere (talk) 16:59, 1 April 2017 (UTC)
