Paragraph: This helps you set the style of the text. For example, a header, or plain paragraph text. You can also use it to offset block quotes.

A : Highlight your text, then click here to format it with bold, italics, etc. The "More" options allows you to underline, add code snippets, and change language keyboards.

Links: The chain button allows you to link your text. Highlight the word, and push the button. VisualEditor will automatically suggest related Wikipedia articles for that word or phrase. This is a great way to connect your article to more Wikipedia content. You only have to link important words once, usually during the first time they appear. If you want to link to pages outside of Wikipedia (for an "external links" section, for example) click on the "External link" tab.

Cite: The citation tool in VisualEditor helps format your citations. You can simply paste a DOI or URL, and the VisualEditor will try to sort out all of the fields you need. Be sure to review it, however, and apply missing fields manually (if you know them). You can also add books, journals, news, and websites manually. That opens up a quick guide for inputting your citations. Finally, you can click the "re-use" tab if you've already added a source and just want to cite it again.

Insert: This tab lets you add media, images, or tables.

Ω The final tab allows you to add special characters, such as those found in non-English words, scientific notation, and a handful of language extensions.≤≠≠≈

2/22/17 Paleoceanography

• Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? -The second reference is a book, which I believe was not a good reference because in the training it said it is not a good reference if it can't be accessed by the public, and the only way to access this information is to purchase the book so it is not technically under "public domain"

• Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?- I had a difficult time understanding this topic, it seems like the author uses lots of terminology people who are not familiar with paleoceanography will not understand
• Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?- it seems very unbiased
• Where does the information come from? Check the sources. Are they neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted?- the sources all seem neutral, they are primary sources, which the wiki page says there needs to be secondary and tertiary sources added. This makes sense as the information given is very scientific and dense, perhaps if second or tertiary sources were added the information would be easier for the reader to understand
• Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?- This seems to be a fairly neutral wiki page since the information comes from primary sources, there doesn't seem to be much information on salinity, most topics presented seem to be short and don't provide enough information
• Check a few citations & references. Do the links work? Is there any close paraphrasing or plagiarism in the article?- the links do work
• Is the page locked? Take a look at Wikipedia's protection policy - what is good or bad about this policy? How could it be abused? - the page is not locked, its a good policy so people don't intentionally write incorrect or rude things on a page where they do not belong
• Is any information in the article that is out of date? Is anything missing that could be added?- I'm sure there is more information that could be added since the page seems relatively short
