Please don’t bite me, I’m a newbie!
I’m a university student in a Wikipedia Education class, and I’m currently learning how to contribute to Wikipedia.
I am approaching my subject in good faith.
If you have any concerns or questions, my tutor’s name is coconutoil4eva (talk · contribs). Thanks!

Hello Rachel,
I checked out your edit. Looks good so far. I've added the article to my watchlist and will keep an eye on it. If you need any help at all, please feel free to ask, especially about good sources of info.
You could add a caption to the image - something like "On Black Mountain in Canberra". You have the incorrect authority for this species. It should be (R.Br.) Britten (not Ewart). Use the Australian Plant Census for the correct author name. Gderrin (talk) 02:14, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
- Hello, thank you for your warm welcome and for your suggestions, I really appreciate the feedback. I have not yet edited the actual stub or added anything to it, but when I come around to it I will make sure to change the authority so it is correct. I am also having slight difficulty with finding relevant academic sources for my stub.Rachelw07 (talk) 02:01, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
- Hello Rachel, congratulations on producing a new article for WP. In regards to expanding the article I suggest the following steps: Use the taxonbar links to gain information, summarize the info and then place it in the article using the headings and order of the Wikiproject Plants guidelines. Next have a look at the academic literature using the academic search engines available at your institution, you may also want to check out Google Scholar for others, though beware of predatory journal entries there (see Stop Predatory Journals through Google). There you will find more in depth info and those interesting facts that make this plant both unique and part of an ecological community. Good luck, hope you and yours are well.
