Sources

Hi. News sites are perfectly acceptable sources for current or recent events. Some other sources she might want to consider would be reports and publications from groups like the USGS and the American Geophysical Union (e.g., the AGU's publication Eos appears to have reported on the Oroville Dam). Science had a short piece about it and I'm sure other scholarly publications would have had at least some coverage. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 21:49, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please follow WP:USERNOCAT by having categories in userspace articles prefixed with a colon. So [[Category:Cosmetics]] becomes Category:Cosmetics. This will make it a link, not a member. Please also indicate that to your students.Naraht (talk) 14:47, 30 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Student editor for a featured article

Hi Springerhe,

Just a heads-up that I see a student editor, Whistler54, has been assigned/has chosen to work on Tourette syndrome as part of a course. This is a featured article, meaning it has been identified by the community as one of our best, and was just yesterday featured on the main page. So it may be a difficult article for a new editor to improve.

Please see Wikipedia:Education noticeboard/Archive 20#Level 2 English course intending to edit Featured medical article (Alzheimer's disease in addition to Tourette syndrome); I have made suggestions there for alternate articles that might be of interest.
