Hello, I'm Velella. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Serapias vomeracea, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. ''Please do not add Lebanon or sites in Lebanon to Orchid articles without a reliable reference demonstrating its presence there. If the range indicated in the article already covers Lebanon, please do not add Lebanon,. We do not want a long list of countries in each article''  Velella  Velella Talk  13:21, 8 May 2020 (UTC)


 * I live in Mount-Lebanon in the Eastern Mediterranean. I'm taking photos every now and then. I wish I can send them to you, so you can check the date and the location.
 * I rely also for the names on a book "Fleurs Sauvages du Liban" by Moustapha Nehmé published by thr Natinaol Counsel for Scientific Research of Lebanon.
 * Best regards

 * Thanks for the reply. The book you are using sounds as though it would be a suitable reference that you could quote when adding text to an article. Unfortunately your photographs could not be used to confirm occurrence in the Mount Lebanon area although they might be useful to illustrate and article which doesn't have a picture. Wikipedia relies on reliable sources and not individual experts. Please don't add Lebanon as a country where the plant occurs, unless it represents the geographical limit of its distribution or unless that plant has a very limited distribution which includes Lebanon. Most plants occur in a great number of countries and we only quote those at the extremes of the distribution. Regards  Velella  Velella Talk  16:58, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
