Bohol

Hi Nicole2793. I made a few changes to your Bohol#Tarsier section. The first thing I did was to move the section about the Philippine Tarsier Foundation up to the top of that section. Without it, a reader might not be sure what all of a sudden they're reading about tarsiers in an article about Bohol. It's usually helpful to start with a statement that explains why that section is there first. One problem with that paragraph is that is doesn't have a supporting source. While it may be supported by one of the citations in the other paragraph you added, this won't be clear to the reader. And since this is Wikipedia, people will edit your contributions (like I just did); for that reason, supporting citations should, at minimum, be included once a paragraph.

One other thing - you should always try to make use of other articles. Wikipedia has an article on the Philippine tarsier - if you link to it, then you don't need to spend so much time explaining what it is. An interested reader can always click through the link to learn more. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:22, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
