Improvements:

  1. use Wikimedia Commons for pictures, copy file name and paste it on embedded file tab.
  2. create a new sandbox for the page
  3. talk about the results from identifying the Chlorides in Mars


Hi Nicki! Nice job with the page so far. I'm addressing the presence of water on Mars on my page too, so I could definitely use some of this information. Sorry you're having trouble getting images. I would just try searching for images on NASA or Wikimedia Commons (maybe this one? http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/MRO/multimedia/pia10248.html). If anything, you could use pictures of examples on Earth that are similar to those on Mars, just so the reader can get some image in their head. You could also add an image of Terra Sirenum and link it to its Wiki page. Instead of creating a new sandbox, you could just erase that homework at the end. Good luck!Melissausburn (talk) 06:16, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]


Hey Nicki! I really like your wiki topic, I found that the page flowed very well and the topic is really interesting. Here are a few suggests to help improve it: First off I can help with the pictures. Go to wiki commons, go to images, and follow the prompts to upload a picture. If it is from Nasa/ the government, or an image actually from wiki commons you can simply upload it from a saved file on your desktop, wiki will pop up a thumbnail link for you to copy and paste into your sandbox, and the image will magically appear :) Here is the link if you are having issues finding where to upload photos: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:UploadWizard The second thing I would add is citing and linking back to other wiki pages. There wasn't much that I missed as far as words that I didn't understand, but some words I guess aren't easy for others and I would just add a couple more links back to other wiki pages and if in doubt, put the citation link at the end of the sentence just in case. The next thing I noticed is the very first paragraph seems a little out of place, maybe make it an introduction with the same bold font as the other sections for the title "chloride deposits on Mars". I know we are supposed to only do three suggestions, but I had one more. The only thing I am wondering is if there is a section you might be able to add on any current missions to mars with the curiosity mission and if they have found any new research on water/chlorides--it is just a suggestion and I haven't done the research myself but I thought they were looking for that with curiosity and that could help you add a whole new section of information on the page beefing it up :) You have done a great job and I hope this helps!
