Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Phasmatodea. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:18, 14 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Appologies, I thought you were vandalising the article but another new editor was the culprit. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:32, 14 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your "Split" of cockchafer[edit]

Protip: When you claim to split articles, actually split them rather than just half-assedly redefining the article to be about a single species and just deleting the content about the other species without creating articles for them. Hemiauchenia (talk) 00:55, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
