Regarding sources
Hi PrecociousPeach, I saw your recent additions to Cheetah and Ocelot. While there is no problem in trying to improve the coverage of articles, I would request you to go through WP: Verifiability to understand which sources are truly reliable in the context of an encyclopedia like Wikipedia. Sources you had used most probably don't fit the bill, and zoology articles typically rely on books, peer-reviewed journal articles and reports for coverage. This is not to discourage you from editing, if you have any queries feel free to ping me :) Sainsf  (talk · contribs) 05:09, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
 * alright I'll take a look at that, thank you for the heads up.PrecociousPeach (talk) 21:18, 24 January 2020 (UTC)

Wool Carder Bees
Hello Precocious Peach,

Saw the note on your user page about Wool Carder Bees, so here are a couple of tips.
 * It's easier to get into the swing of things by editing pages rather than writing an article from scratch. There are a few articles already that you might like to add to, including Anthidium manicatum, Megachilidae and the disambiguation page "Carder bee".
 * Don't be discouraged by the criticism of your earlier efforts.
 * It looks like some insect experts have been busy on the bee pages, but I noticed that the Bombus sylvarum article is poorly referenced. There are a couple of good on-line sources that could be used to improve the article, including this one and this, both of which look like reliable sources to me. Gderrin (talk) 06:47, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes the undertaking of a whole article from scratch seemed pretty intimidating, I will practice editing for now until I'm more comfortable.

Thanks for the tips.PrecociousPeach (talk) 21:18, 24 January 2020 (UTC)

Charlie Kirk
Hello. I just wanted to let you that the Charlie Kirk page has received protection for two months. Happing editing!--Dr.Swag Lord, Ph.d (talk) 06:53, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Oh thank you for doing that! Do semi protections usually last for 2 months? I wonder why it isn't permanent? . -- PrecociousPeach (talk) 23:29, 14 December 2020 (UTC)


 * The length of time for page protections comes at the discretion of the admin who issues the protection. Since the Charlie Kirk page received protection twice before: (each protection lasted 1 week), the admin this time bumped it up to 2 months. I don't believe there is enough vandalism to warrant indefinite protection at this point. However, once this current protection expires, I suspect the vandalism will continue so I will be more than happy to again request page protection. My guess is that next time the admin will issue protection lasting for 6 months to a year. Please see this guide if you have other questions, or feel free to ask me questions on my talk page .
