Reminders for class on Tuesday, 2/4

Hi Octavio! A quick note to check in and share some reminders. How have the Wiki readings been going? Do you have any questions about them? We will be evaluating Alexander von Humbold'ts Wikipedia page on Tuesday in discussion, so be sure to review the Evaluating Wikipedia article quality brochure. Also, remember that you have two other things due Tuesday: creating a User Page (see mine for an example) and introducing yourself to an online ambassador or another student through their Talk Page. Let me know if you have any questions! --Enstandrew (talk)

Welcome

Hello, Aoc001, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Yunshui, and I am your Online Ambassador for Bucknell's History of Ecology course. My job here is to help you to work within Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, to answer any questions that you have about editing here, and to act as your advocate in the (unlikely) event that you find yourself in a dispute with another user.

You are welcome to contact me at any time by leaving a message on my Wikipedia talkpage or by emailing me. I will usually respond to any messages within 24 hours (though I aim to be faster!), but if you need more immediate help, you can ask questions of experienced editors at The Teahouse or get live help via Wikipedia's IRC channel (connect here).

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. Once again, if you need help with any aspect of Wikipedia, please just ask; it's what I'm here for. Enjoy your course! Yunshui 雲‍水 08:39, 4 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Possible articles for research

Kaibab Plateau

The Kaibab Plateau is located in Northern Arizona in the United States. This particular plateau is special because there are certain species of deer squirrel and other animals which only exist in that plateau. In the early 20th century the population of deer in this plateau was almost extinct and therefore humans prohibited hunting in this area. This article is particularly interesting to me because it explains how there can be a combination of the struggle for existence and also some help from other species such as human in this case so that certain species can remain alive. This article is important to Wikipedia because it can help readers understand how important it is to realize that we must help certain species in order for them to survive, whether it is not to hunt them or keep the environment clean so that they can keep on existing.
