Lagunaria

Hi, good observation that Lagunaria is now accepted to have two species, not just one. The policy with organisms is:

If there's one species in a genus, we normally have one article at the genus name, which discusses both the genus and the species.
If there is more than one species, we have an article at the genus name + articles at the species name.

So I re-organized Lagunaria and made Lagunaria patersonia. If you can expand either article, particularly Lagunaria patersonia, or create an article on Lagunaria queenslandica, that would be good! Peter coxhead (talk) 08:55, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the help Peter! I'll keep working on Lagunaria for now but may move on to one of the individual species later. CHAM203 (talk) 06:40, 21 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

May 2021

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:Lagunaria, from its old location at User:CHAM203/sandbox. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. _signed,Iflaq ^(talk) 06:15, 15 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your submission, but the subject of this article already exists in Wikipedia. You can find it and improve it at Lagunaria instead.

Concern regarding Draft:Lagunaria

Hello, CHAM203. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Lagunaria, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
