Welcome to the Wikipedia Education Program! edit

Hi, Claire!

Great job with your first edits and expanding the Forcipiger flavissimus stub! I looked through your contributions and wanted to give you some feedback/tips that you'll hopefully find useful!:

  • Subsections: I encourage you to organize your contributions into smaller sections, with descriptive headings, to make the article more digestible to readers.
  • Wiki-links: Don't forget to link to other Wikipedia articles to make sure yours is incorporated into the encyclopedia! You'll want to link to articles that make your own contributions clearer, in case a reader wants to read more.
  • Citations: your in-line citation (great job, by the way) should immediately follow the punctuation mark. Not a big deal at all, but while I'm here giving you tips, I figured I'd include as much as I could!

I'm not very familiar with this topic, but the content seems like a great start and extension of this stub. I hope you're enjoying yourself! JMathewson (WMF) (talk) 19:42, 18 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

Disambiguation link notification for November 1 edit

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Lemon shark, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Dominance, Predators and Niche (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
