Your submission at Articles for creation: Allocapnia fumosa (July 1)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by CASSIOPEIA 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 general guideline on notability, 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:

#:Could not find content claimed on ref - Smokies snowfly (Allocapnia fumosa)". US Fish & Wildlife Service

Wiktionary https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/fumosus#Latin - Wikipedia can not be the source - see WP:CIRCULAR

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:Allocapnia fumosa and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Allocapnia fumosa, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.

Edits at Comostola[edit]

Hi Insektivore, I saw your edits at Comostola and had to undo some of what you did. I noticed that all of the author names after the species names were in parentheses and that seemed unusual. Parentheses around an author's name indicate that the species name has been changed since it was first described by the author. They are not just there as a formatting choice. I've fixed it, but thought you should know for future reference. Keep up the good work. SchreiberBike | ⌨ 05:34, 14 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
