Hello Isthatfog, I just wanted to tell you "Well Done"! and welcome to Wikipedia! I really like your new article! And by the way... do you have a particular interest in mollusks? If so, we have a couple of groups here, one group that works on expanding our coverage of gastropod-related subjects, and one that works in a similar way on articles about bivalves. In any case, if you have any questions or comments feel free to leave a note on my talk page. Again welcome! Invertzoo (talk) 02:04, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

On 17 January 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Shell growth in estuaries, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that temperature and salinity variations produced by ocean tides and freshwater rivers in estuaries make them ideal habitats for studying how these factors affect the growth of shells? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Shell growth in estuaries. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Well done Isthatfog, your article made the Main Page today as a "Did You Know", thanks to some work by User:Epipelagic. Congratulations! This might be a "first", an article making it to the main page from on a contributor's very first few edits! Please consider coming back and making more edits on Wikipedia, we will certainly be happy to see you! Invertzoo (talk) 17:08, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
