I Have No Authority

Welcome!

Hello, I Have No Authority, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

You can find answers to many student questions on our Q&A site, ask.wikiedu.org

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:20, 11 February 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edits to Beach cleaning, please use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history, as well as helping prevent edit conflicts. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the article will look like without actually saving it.

The "show preview" button is right next to the "publish changes" button and below the edit summary field.

It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Look in the References section and see all the red "Check date values", that means the date has been formatted wrong. When you only have a month and year for the date parameter, then the month must be spelled out, for example: January 2015 with no commas, otherwise it creates a cite error. I fixed a couple of the date errors in the section "Public Engagement- Awareness, Education, and Behavior Change". See the help page for examples of unacceptable dates and how to fix them. Thanks for adding sources as well, but sometimes with excessive citations cluttering up the article, it is better to cite a couple of great sources than to stack them. Thanks for your contributions.
