A couple style points

Hi PJay, I'm noticing some things that you've been doing: (1) section headers take sentence case. A section should be titled "Cultural significance", not "Cultural Significance" (the s of significance is lower case). (2) References go outside punctuation. Example: This is a sentence.<ref name="Sentences" /> See that the period is before the reference information. See the Manual of Style for more information. Cheers!

Question

Hi, another editor, Stemonitis, has made a number of helpful edits to the Paris polyphylla article, but they've been lost now twice when you resume editing. I'm wondering what's happening to these edits. Are you deliberately changing them? Are you perhaps keeping a copy of the code on your own computer (in a word processor or something) and then copying and pasting the whole thing into WIkipedia? We need to solve this question, because those edits really are improvements and need to be kept. LadyofShalott 03:25, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

I just have a project due by tonight. And I will be done putting in my edits. And my professor will be able to look at the last of my history. And then it can be edited. I am sorry for the inconvenience.

Surely working well with and accepting help from other editors helping the article is part of the project? LadyofShalott 03:37, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

Is your professor on Wikipedia? Is there a class project page? LadyofShalott 03:39, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
