Hello Jgross2atLSU,

Welcome to Wikipedia. I am an online ambassador for your class. This means that I will assist you with the world of Wikipedia by digital means. You can contact me on my talk page, or email me via Special:EmailUser/Graeme Bartlett. I am keen on geology but I have not studied it at the tertiary level. So this means you will know more than me on your topic, but I am looking forward to reading what you create. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:23, 19 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Some comments on your topic choice: Remember this is an encyclopedia, so articles should have not a very narrow topic or a very long name that no one will ever think of typing. So please try to keep you topic title as short as possible eg Western Interior Seaway paleoenvironments, or perhaps you can just give a big expansion to Western Interior Seaway. However your subject matter does have a place here, the issue is just what to call it or where to put it. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:01, 4 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button or located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment.

Western Interior Seaway anoxia

Good article choice and lots of excellent material. However, as this is an encyclopedia article, you should try to stay more focused directly on the topic and limit the background and development to what is necessary. I rearranged the first paragraph to reflect this. I am glad to let you continue editing, but let me know if you want more help. -Fjozk (talk) 01:23, 9 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at the remainder of the article, it appears to be better focused on the topic; only the introduction was a problem. You did an excellent job writing a Wikipedia article, and it will be very useful for readers. Thanks. -Fjozk (talk) 21:03, 9 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for November 9

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Western Interior Seaway anoxia, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Hypoxia (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

DYK for Western Interior Seaway anoxia

On 24 November 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Western Interior Seaway anoxia, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that excessive nutrients from volcanoes caused the loss of oxygen in the Western Interior Seaway which linked the Caribbean to the Arctic? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Western Interior Seaway anoxia. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Wikipedia Education Program: student survey!

Wikipedia Education Program- student survey!

Hi! I work with the Wikipedia Education Program, and I'm hoping to get your feedback about your experience this semester! In order to help other students like you enjoy editing while contributing positively to Wikipedia, it would be very helpful to hear from real program students about their experience, so we know what to change. The survey takes no more than 10 minutes, and I'd really appreciate your response!

Thanks so much! JMathewson (WMF) (talk) 22:51, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
