Welcome

Hello, Mebennett49 and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are participating in a class project. If you haven't done so already, we encourage you to go through our training for students.

Go through our online training for students.

If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Please also read this helpful advice for students.

Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.

Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, and if your class doesn't already have one please tell your instructor about that. It is highly recommended that you place this text: {{Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and aid your communication with them.

We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished! --I am k6ka ^{Talk to me!} _{See what I have done} 16:32, 27 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Problems with upload of File:Screenshot (15).png

Thanks for uploading File:Screenshot (15).png. You don't seem to have said where the image came from, who created it, or what the copyright status is. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.

To add this information, click on this link, then click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and add the information to the image's description. If you need help, post your question on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 06:06, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The question here is how you created this map. Did you create the range map using range information and a base map? If so, you need to provide a source for the base map (and make sure that it is compatible with Wikipedia's licensing requirements) and release your additions under an appropriate free license. If, on the other hand, you found the range map, then you need to give that source (and ensure that it's compatible with Wikipedia).

Feel free to ask if you need further clarification. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:20, 22 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Melipona beecheii

Nice work on the Melipona beecheii article. I wonder if you would like to consider submitting it as a candidate for the "Did you know...?" feature. DYKs (as they are commonly called) are short snippets taken from Wikipedia's newest articles and, if approved, appear on the Main Page. You can learn more about this by clicking on the image to the right to access a nice pdf outlining the process.

Although you created the article almost a week ago, it should still be eligible as a 5x expansion, starting from your edits on the 24th. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 02:41, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, your DYK nomination just needs one issue addressed and then it will be good to go. Could you kindly visit its nomination page and address the question? 184.147.131.85 (talk) 20:43, 15 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you to you both! I believe I added the necessary citation, please let me know if there's something else I should do. Thanks again for the advice and feedback! Mebennett49 (talk) 16:01, 16 October 2015 (UTC)Mebennett49[reply]

DYK for Melipona beecheii

On 20 October 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Melipona beecheii, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Melipona beecheii bees were considered by the Mayan Indians to be an endowment of their god Ah-Muzen-Cab and were the focus of many Mayan religious ceremonies? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Melipona beecheii. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Image source problem with File:Distribution of P. gibbosus.png

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading File:Distribution of P. gibbosus.png.

This image is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such images would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a screenshot of a computer game or movie. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original image must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.

While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright.

If you have uploaded other derivative works, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F4 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 05:13, 6 April 2018 (UTC). If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.
