Welcome!

Hello, Harbickk, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Adam and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made a change to an article, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Materialscientist (talk) 04:47, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please do have a look at how we write articles (e.g. at WP:FA). What you do to Green-eyed tree frog is not acceptable by Wikipedia standards. Materialscientist (talk) 05:09, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

We are trying to edit this page for a school project. There are three of us who have done extensive research on this frog. We all have to add our sources (which are plenty) at different times. If you could just be patient with us, it'll take 20 minutes. It is extremely rude to keep deleting our work when we have worked very hard on this. Not to mention, it adds a lot to your page. Thanks.

Please don't use mainframe articles for experiments. Develop your project in a personal sandbox page (like user:Harbickk/Green-eyed tree frog), ask for a review, and then insert it into the article. What you do is not acceptable, and may get you blocked from editing despite all your good intentions. Materialscientist (talk) 05:25, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

We are not doing an experiment. We have done a lot of research over the past couple weeks and are genuinely trying to help improve this page. I, along with the two other women who are working with me on this, have done a lot of research and are trying to input all our sources if you would let us. This isn't just some project, we have put a lot of work into trying to add to this stub and aren't trying to do it any harm. We have added sources and will continue to add sources to make it even more credible. I don't know why you aren't being accepting of all the hard work we have put into this.
