Your contributed article, What is life like inside a beehive[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, What is life like inside a beehive. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Beehive. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Beehive. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. ThePlatypusofDoom (talk) 15:19, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello[edit]

Hello, your article has been deleted. We already have an article about beehives, see here. Also, remember to write in a professional, formal tone, and don't put questions to the reader in an article. Also, remember to cite reliable sources. If you need any help, come to my talk page, or you can come to our live help chat, here. Thanks!

Life in a beehive[edit]

You may find Task_allocation_and_partitioning_of_social_insects#Temporal_polyethism interesting, as an example of encyclopedic writing on a topic related to your contribution to Beehive.

I would suggest avoiding the use of the word "important" in such descriptions; the text will be more informative if you show how particular processes or tendencies relate to the overall life of the colony. Regards, Just plain Bill (talk) 18:04, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
