User talk:Group9A EXT2013

Since there are five of us & we need two sources each minimum we should aim to make 10-15 subjects to write about. We might think about writing about things like taxonomy, endangered status, reproductive process & system, habitat, evolution/evolutionary tree (if we can find it, conservation, ecological importance/ecosystem function, importance to humans, behavior, etymology, anatomy, mercury levels, supply, life cycle, other threats. If you guys think of any more shoot a text or post it here

Welcome

Hello, Group9A 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! SFK2 (talk) 02:56, 25 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Another welcome

I second the welcome. You and your classmates have been doing good work to expand articles about endangered and extinct animals.

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.
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.

Thanks for all of your hard work! – Jonesey95 (talk) 03:06, 25 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Cephalopods swimming at night.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Cephalopods swimming at night.jpg, which you've attributed to http://news.bbc.co.uk/earth/hi/earth_news/newsid_8095000/8095977.stm. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or

You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
