I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Helpme}} before the question.

Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.

It is highly recommended that you place this text: {{Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and should be treated accordingly.

We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished! Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 20:11, 18 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

To landscape architecture student (LSU assignment)

To LSU landscape architecture student:

This topic (bioremediation) is all about cleaning polluted soils using bateria and fungi. Some graphic or photo ideas include: industrial landfills from oil, gasoline, and fossil fuel production; an image signifying the transformation from a human induced lifeless environment to an environment with long-term potential.

To Professor Harms

To Professor Harms:

I did not use the last source after I noticed the protection disclaimer at the bottom. It states:

"Copyright of International Biodeterioration & Biodegradation is the property of Elsevier Science Publishing Company, Inc. and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission. However, users may print, download, or email articles for individual use. This abstract may be abridged. No warranty is given about the accuracy of the copy. Users should refer to the original published version of the material for the full abstract. (Copyright applies to all Abstracts.)"

Another challenge I faced in this project is using links to cite my sources as references.
