Hello, Mmc7777 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.
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.
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.
Hello, Mmc7777, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; 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 complete the student training, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles.

Hi Mmc7777. I noticed that you created the Lasioglossum hemichalceum without any content beyond a taxobox and section headers. When you create an article in the mainspace, it should have some minimum amount of content - at least a sentence saying something basic about the species. (At the very least, say that it's a bee species.) In addition, you shouldn't really create section headers until you have some content to add to them. When you are working in a sandbox, this doesn't matter, but when you're in mainspace things are (or should be) a little different. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:17, 22 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nice work on the Lasioglossum hemichalceum 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.
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Lasioglossum hemichalceum, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Sweat bee. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
Hi, Mmc7777. I changed the description of the image you uploaded a bit (great find, by the way). Each of the images from that gallery contains a record with info about that image, so pointing to that record rather than the gallery makes it easier for everyone who uses the image in the future. Thanks for uploading that image and great job on the corresponding article. Adam (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:51, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
