Welcome! and Thanks!
Hello Joshua and a big welcome to WIkipedia! I am happy to be able to welcome you even though you started making edits back in April. Today I checked a listing and was very happy to see that you just made a stub article about a sea snail, Buchema nigra. I wanted to thank you very much for that. As you will see I fixed your article up a little, including adding it to some categories. I also wanted to give you this invitation. I don't know if you are particularly interested in snails (?), but there is a very informal group of editors on WIkipedia who work on improving our coverage of snails and slugs. The name of the group is WikiProject Gastropods.

Anyway, welcome again and thanks for your work! if you have any questions or comments please feel free to ask me on my talk page. Best wishes, Invertzoo (talk) 13:28, 25 July 2013 (UTC)
