Your submission at Articles for creation: Asarum rhombiformis (June 20)
[edit]
- If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Asarum rhombiformis and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
- If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
- If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
- Hi NShehan, thanks for your work to correct and update these to the correct name. I have moved Hexastylis rhombiformis to Asarum rhombiformis to keep the history/attribution, but it should be updated to your better version. As I'm not an administrator I can not do the move over and history merge as UtherSRG suggested, but as the history of the draft main content just comes down to the one first creation I suggest you just do a copy-paste update. I would have done it but thought I would leave to you for correct attribution of your work. Any questions just ask. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 11:24, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
- Note that this has been merged now, thanks to UtherSRG. KylieTastic (talk) 16:50, 22 June 2025 (UTC)

Hello NShehan and thank you very much for your work here.
Unfortunately, Stigmatodactylus antennatus is not an accepted species at Plants of the World Online at today's date. Perhaps if you think it should be listed there, a note to Rafaël Govaerts at [email protected] may change its listing. Gderrin (talk) 22:43, 22 March 2026 (UTC)
- I will follow up on this and may contact POWO regarding its status. The species was only published on 13 February 2026, so it is likely it has not yet been incorporated into their database. Thank you for bringing this to my attention! Niyan Shehan (talk) 22:48, 22 March 2026 (UTC)

Nice start!

Adding categories to articles
[edit]Hello NShehan, Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I refer to some of the articles you created on plant species that did not include the correct categories for genus or family, such as Blephilia subnuda and Stenanthium diffusum. I would appreciate it if you could, in future, include the primary category entry along with the others. Regards. QEnigma 论 05:14, 1 April 2026 (UTC)
Dwayne Estes moved to draftspace
[edit]Thanks for your contributions to Dwayne Estes. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing as a live article at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability and it consists of machine-generated text. I have converted it to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.
Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit the draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Boynamedsue (talk) 07:41, 11 April 2026 (UTC)
Flora of .... categories
[edit]Thank you for your efforts creating new plant articles.
You've had several articles in multiple redundant distribution categories. E.g., Palafoxia reverchonii was in: Category:Endemic flora of Texas, Category:Endemic flora of the United States and [:Category:Flora of the United States]]. Endemic flora of Texas is the only necessary category in that case; anything that is endemic to Texas is endemic to the United States, and anything that is endemic to the United States also falls into Flora of the United States (along with non-endemic species).
There is some guidance about the distribution categories for plants at Wikipedia:WikiProject Plants/World Geographical Scheme for Recording Plant Distributions. Plantdrew (talk) 16:53, 23 April 2026 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for May 27
[edit]An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Eriogonum allenii, a link pointing to the disambiguation page Appalachian was added.

What to link
[edit]Hello, I noticed your edit to Euphorbia glyptosperma where you added a number of links to the lede of the article. There is guidance on what should be linked at Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Linking. In particular linked terms should not be next to each other to avoid confusion for the reader. See MOS:SEAOFBLUE Part of the problem in this case is that you added links to North America and native, commonly understood terms that should not be linked in most articles. See MOS:GEOLINK and MOS:OVERLINK. 🌿MtBotany (talk) 22:54, 27 May 2026 (UTC)

[edit]
Hello, I'm Purring maggot. An edit that you recently made to Eryngium arenosum seemed to be generated using a large language model (an "AI chatbot" or other application using such technology). Text produced by these applications is not allowed on Wikipedia, and may contain factually inaccurate statements, fictitious citations, or other problems. You should instead read reliable sources and then summarize those in your own words. Your edit may have been reverted. If you want to practice editing, please use your sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or ask your questions at the Teahouse, a friendly place for new users. Thanks. purringmaggot (talk) 03:29, 24 July 2026 (UTC)
There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:AI noticeboard regarding an AI cleanup investigation related to your species articles. The thread is User:NShehan. Hi NShehan, I'm not sure you've been apprised of WP:NOLLM yet, which states the use of LLMs to generate or rewrite article content is prohibited. An editor brought it to the noticeboard's attention that your species articles appear to be AI-generated, so I invite you to join the thread and explain a bit about your workflow for creating these articles so we can decide together what to do to remediate the content. Thank you! purringmaggot (talk) 03:36, 24 July 2026 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Dwayne Estes

Hello, NShehan. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "Dwayne Estes".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted.
