What up group

Welcome

Hello, 9D EXT2013 and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are participating in a class project. If you haven't done so already, we encourage you to go through our training for students. Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, if your class doesn't already have one.

Go through our online training for students.

If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Helpme}} before the question. Please also read this helpful advice for students.

Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.

It is highly recommended that you place this text: {{Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and should be treated accordingly.

We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished! Blue Rasberry (talk) 01:16, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

Hello! Could you have your professor say hello on the Wikipedia:Education noticeboard? Some of us are talking about your class and want to collaborate. Thanks. Blue Rasberry (talk) 01:16, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

Second welcome

Hello students, and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are participating in a class project. You and your classmates have been doing good work to expand articles about endangered and extinct animals. You are making a lot of improvements to the article you have chosen. I am leaving this note to offer some advice about editing more carefully and about editing Wikipedia in general.

Please take a look at the changes I have made to citations in the article you are editing. When you add citations, please try to format them to match the citations I have edited. Specifically:

• Do not use month=, just put the whole day, month, and year in the date= parameter.
• Fill in accessdate= only when you have a url to go with it. accessdate= is not necessary for journal citations.
• accessdate= and other dates need to be in one of these formats. Date formats like 10/12/2013 can be confusing to people reading in countries where they put the day of the month first.
• Use pages= for the page numbers of a journal article, like this: pages=253–264. You should not cite the specific page on which the cited information appears.
• Web addresses need to start with "http://", like this: url=http://www.science.org. This is not right: url=www.science.org.
• I have noticed some typos in the citations that your fellow students have added. I strongly recommend using the copy and paste feature of your computer to avoid typos.

Thanks for all of your hard work! – Jonesey95 (talk) 03:23, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
