Talk:Andrena bucephala
Original article and assessment
This is an original account written for the British Bees project, using the cited scientific papers and specialist sources. It is not a Wikipedia import or a paraphrase of a Wikipedia article. Prepared and checked with Codex on 8 October 2026. This is an editorial self-assessment; no independent expert review has been claimed.
Current Tilcayo assessment: B-Class. The assessment uses Wikipedia's content-assessment criteria as a guide. It is not a grade awarded by Wikipedia.
Identity, appearance, geographic range, British habitats, seasonal activity, nesting, food, parasites and dated conservation assessment are covered. The uncertain internal nest layout is identified as such.
| B-Class check | Assessment |
|---|---|
| Inline source support | Pass: factual paragraphs have references; consulted sources and publication dates are identified. |
| Reasonable coverage | Pass: see the article-specific explanation above. |
| Organisation | Pass: a lead and subject-specific sections. |
| Prose | Pass: plain British English; no unsupported importance claims or generic conservation filler. |
| Supporting material | Pass for this text-only format: clear measurements or identifying characters, citations and appropriate navigation. No unlicensed images or unverified distribution maps. |
| Accessibility | Pass: specialist terms are explained where needed; evidence limits remain explicit. |
Source and accuracy checks
- Specialist accounts and research were read before drafting. Their roles differ: a checklist supports taxonomy and country records, while field studies support the observations they actually report.
- Historical scarcity labels are dated. Local, national and international status must not be interchanged.
- No photographs, maps or source prose were copied. Scientific names, measurements and reported observations are attributed through the inline references.
- The writing check used the Denis Output Auditor checklist and Wikipedia's Signs of AI writing advice as a self-review. It does not certify human authorship or independent approval.
- Future imported text must not replace this original account automatically. Any proposed expansion needs a source check and a comparison with the saved revision.
