Welcome to Wikipedia, AzamatShackleford! Thank you for your contributions. This is an encyclopedia, so remember that it's a necessity to include references listing reliable websites, newspapers, articles, books and other sources you have used to write or expand articles. Please understand that these sources should verify the information in a fair and accurate manner. However, you must not copy and paste text you find anywhere, except for short quotations, marked as such with quote marks and carefully cited to the source the quote was taken from. New articles and statements added to existing articles may be deleted by others if unreferenced or referenced poorly or if they are copyright violations. See referencing for beginners for more details.

I have been editing Wikipedia for some time, so if you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. You can also check out Questions or type at the bottom of this page.

Please, when updating the IUCN status on article, you should also update the reference. - UtherSRG (talk) 11:52, 12 December 2023 (UTC)


 * I don't know how. Would greatly be appreciated if I could get an explanation of how to update sources through the infoboxes. AzamatShackleford (talk) 04:40, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
 * For the IUCN, there's a template that greatly helps. Here are the instructions as written:
 * at an IUCN Red List species page, highlight and copy the example citation
 * at the en.wiki article write:
 * paste the IUCN example citation into the above between  and
 * click Publish changes; the raw template shown in Show preview becomes active
 * Usually within an hour, AnomieBOT will substitute the with the matching  template.
 * In the Taxobox/Speciesbox there's a parameter named status_ref and it should already have a reference. Just put the as described above in place of the existing  and you should be good to go. - UtherSRG (talk) 11:53, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
