I didn't realize how fast articles were assessed. I won't be back to edit this new article until after the holidays.

Re: Assessment
Hey bpage, I'm the fellow who redirected your article awhile back. The "assessment" generally consists of a bunch of volunteers monitoring the New pages list and requesting an admin to delete those which violate wikipedia policy (attack pages, unremarkable bands, etc). I redirected your page because it was clearly notable though based on the species name I was incorrect to do so - the NewPages folks do make mistakes. Anyway, it's a great first article, and in the future if you're creating a new article and intend to leave it for awhile, it's best to often put in the summary something like "under construction - will flesh out over the next few days - please do not delete" - that will usually prevent people from CSDing it unless it violates some pertinent policy (attack page, page about a non-notable myspace band, etc.) It's looking great though, so best of luck!

Thank you so very much for communicating with me. I was beginning to think all of WIKIpedia was run by bots, but you appear to be a real live person. I would be interested in getting directed to work on some projects of high importance that may only be stubs. Can you help me find these kind of things? (biology related)
