About your edits on Tomales Bay
[edit]Hello Gracemay.hansen, my name is Rebestalic.
I've noticed your recent edits to the Wikipedia article on Tomales Bay. Thank you for your contributions! Just some pointers, though:
- - I know the lead section focuses a lot on geography, but it would be most advisable still to have at least something at the top of the article. Good markup skills, meanwhile.
- - The "Short Description" template (here) is used to generate one-line introductions for articles when you see them pop up as suggestions in the search bar. Here, it's best to leave out all but the most vital and basic of details regarding the article; content for this template is thus only similar to, but not the same as, how you would write alt-text.
- - Make sure infoboxes are always up top; these key facts need to be as close to the beginning as possible for easy reference. There are exceptions–like in large articles, where there is a section that warrants a specific infobox of its own. Here's an example of what I mean.
I hope that helps; happy editing! Rebestalic[leave a message....] 12:20, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
