Your edit to Bumblebee
Hello, thanks for your edit to Bumblebee. Firstly and most importantly, could you provide more details of the citation you added to "Matsumura et al 1996"? I can't find any journal article like that, but that's not really saying much. How about the reference about South America? Secondly, the VisualEditor isn't really the best tool for working with citations at the moment. It will probably improve in time, but it's not so good now. Instead use the normal editor (activated by the "edit source" link) and one of the Citation tools; I personally use the Citation expander.

I plan to clean up the citations into Wikipedia's standard format once you have provided more details about the above-mentioned references. Graham 87 15:51, 26 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks, I inserted some better citations. When I get chance (not the near future) ill add more depth to this and some related stubs/sections. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bombusp (talk • contribs) 17:09, 26 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your reply; I'll take a look at your edits. However, you (probably accidentally) removed my message when you replied to it. I've put it back. Make sure that no text is highlighted when you begin typing, and please try to remember to sign your messages with four tildes like this: "~" . For more help with talk pages, see Help:Introduction to talk pages. Graham 87 07:53, 27 July 2013 (UTC)
 * I've just tweaked your references using the above-mentioned citation expander gadget, and incorporated your BBC link into footnote 31, Graystock (2013). Graham 87 08:23, 27 July 2013 (UTC)
