Thanks for the scallop article!
Hello Ssakolsnow, I wanted to not only welcome you to Wikipedia, but also to thank you so much for the new article on the kelp scallop. There is a group of us here on Wikipedia that are working to improve the coverage of bivalves on Wikipedia, and we are called "WikiProject Bivalves". There is also a WikiProject Gastropods. I don't know if you are particularly interested in mollusks? Or in sea life in general? I wonder if you would like to join a group of editors who specialize in one area like that? All good wishes to you and please feel free to ask me any questions or leave any comments on my talk page. Invertzoo (talk) 01:05, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

Hello again Ssakolsnow, thanks for your very nice note! Like you I am also a citizen scientist and a volunteer. I am from the UK but I live in NYC now, although I lived in SoCal in 1970/71 and am quite familiar with the intertidal and shallow subtidal species of that coast.

The great thing about contributing to Wikipedia is that it is all totally flexible, and you can do as little as you want or as much as you want, whenever you want, and pretty much how you want!

You don't need to join any of the projects at all, but just out of politeness let me give you the invitations, so you will know where to find us (there is also a project marine life too):

All the best! Invertzoo (talk) 21:13, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

Dolabrifera nicaraguana moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Dolabrifera nicaraguana, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. ... disco spinster   talk  01:30, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
