[edit]Hello, Daltonlm, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.
I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles.

Please help clean up the article. An example of a correctly formatted article is Phataria unifascialis, although note that is not perfect either. Sungodtemple (talk • contribs) 17:11, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
- Would you please stop messing about with the article in this manner?
- The species is now considered synonymous to Linckia columbiae (see here [1]); that's why I redirected it. As such, all related material needs to go into that existing article. Tamaria stria should be a redirect to that article only. Do not recreate an article with that name (or any capitalization variant of it).
- What you did do to the article was mostly pointless or deleterious. You replaced all existing text (which was suitable and well-sourced) with a long list of species in the genus (to which this species is no longer assigned, and which otherwise is already covered at Tamaria); a kind of taxonomic rundown from the phylum level down, which does not belong in any species-level article; and ungrammatical and badly-sourced versions of material that already was present before.
- This is not a way to improve the encyclopedia. If you want to add new information (not already covered) to Linckia columbiae, you are welcome to do so, but please don't screw up the article naming, remove good existing material, or use bad sourcing (e.g. to WP or Commons entries) and ungrammatical syntax to do so. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 06:17, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
