Needed improvements to Echinococcus vogeli
Hello, your work was a good enough start, so I have Published it for you.

That said, basically every article on a living thing needs to have a "Taxobox" filled out on it. For an example, take a look at Tapeworm and the colored box with full technical details on the side. I've pasted that code at the top of your article, so please fill it out with needed details like phylum and all that jazz (I'm not a Bio guy).

Small side comment: you're totally misunderstanding how Categories are used. I suggest you take a 5-minute look at WP:Categories before your next article so you see what you're looking for. The best way to figure out what cats to use is find a similar article, then copy and modify whatever cats those use for your own. I've taken a guess at what family these worms fall into and placed it there for you, but I could be totally off, so find an article on a closely-related species and use that as inspiration for figuring how to cat your article.

Nice work, hope you'll stick around, and hope this message is useful for knowing how best to tweak your new article to make it most useful for your future readers! MatthewVanitas (talk) 04:05, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
