Hello, Hoganan, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian 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.

Article Subject

Ashley, any of the 3 article topics that you have in bold are alright for you to focus on. However, I do think I would most strongly suggest the topic that does not already have a Wikipedia page, provided that you are able to find enough information about this species in reliable web sources or journal articles.

Article Peer Review

Hi Ashley! Enjoyed reading your article. Your article on Macoma tenta was very informative.Very good inline citations and list of references. Few suggestions:

•start leading sentence in leading section with common name followed by the scientific name in parenthesis and italicize.
•Focus on one species of the Macoma.
•Are you planning to have a Taxa box?
•Where else besides the Chesapeake Bay and Virginia can this species be found (distribution)?
•See this page for more information on editing articles on species on Wikipedia: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/ac/Editing_Wikipedia_articles_on_Species_%28Wiki_Ed%29.pdf
