[edit] Welcome!

Welcome Leafy! Saw your good work on the crab article, let me know if you need any help. Are you interested in marine biology? I hope you don't mind, I created a redirect from sesarma to parasesarma, so when a person types in sesarma they automatically get forwarded to parasesarma. That way you can include info about both names in the parasesarma article.

I have some suggestions for helping on the Parasesarma erythrylodactyla article, let me know if you want input (I would do them myself, but I noticed your under construction note and don't want to edit conflict you). For example, if you want those references to show up, you have to add
==References==
{{reflist}}
at the bottom of the article. Again, welcome, thanks for contributing! Don't hesitate to leave me a message on my talk page if you have any questions or need anything, I'm always glad to help. Peace, delldot talk 06:02, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Er, one more thing, sorry to be a pain. We can't have any info in articles that hasn't already been published, per our very fundamental policy against original research. Yours is very respectable, but we need this rule across the board for verifiability. Anyways, sorry for the onslaught of... uh... input. Hope it doesn't turn you off to editing, by all means keep it up. Peace, delldot talk 06:06, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Cool, glad to have you on the project. You may want to check out WP:WikiProject Marine Biology if you want to work together with others in your field (I'm in WP:WikiProject Medicine and I find it helpful when I need another pair of eyes to check an article or give me some feedback or whatnot). But for any "wiki markup" (the language) questions, definitely ask me and I'll do my best to help. I can go through and do some "wikifying" on your article (adding links, categories, that kind of thing) later if you like. Peace, delldot talk 06:14, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
