Reminders for class on Tuesday, 2/4[edit]

Hi Sara! A quick note to check in and share some reminders. How have the Wiki readings been going? Do you have any questions about them? We will be evaluating Alexander von Humbold'ts Wikipedia page on Tuesday in discussion, so be sure to review the Evaluating Wikipedia article quality brochure. Also, remember that you have two other things due Tuesday: creating a User Page (see mine for an example) and introducing yourself to an online ambassador or another student through their Talk Page. Let me know if you have any questions! --Enstandrew (talk) 18:47, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Wikepedia world! My name is Sara Palombo and I am a first year student at Bucknell University. I am undeclared at the moment but I am thinking of majoring in Environmental Studies which is why I decided to take History of Ecology. I am very excited to start reviewing Wikipedia articles, editing them and even write my own. Can't wait to get started! Sarakpal (talk) 05:02, 6 February 2014 (UTC) Sara Palombo[reply]

Welcome[edit]

Hello, Sarakpal, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Yunshui, and I am your Online Ambassador for Bucknell's History of Ecology course. My job here is to help you to work within Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, to answer any questions that you have about editing here, and to act as your advocate in the (unlikely) event that you find yourself in a dispute with another user.

You are welcome to contact me at any time by leaving a message on my Wikipedia talkpage or by emailing me. I will usually respond to any messages within 24 hours (though I aim to be faster!), but if you need more immediate help, you can ask questions of experienced editors at The Teahouse or get live help via Wikipedia's IRC channel (connect here).

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. Once again, if you need help with any aspect of Wikipedia, please just ask; it's what I'm here for. Enjoy your course! Yunshui 雲‍水 15:22, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

History of marine biology[edit]

Hi Sara. Thank you for your contributions to History of marine biology. However, some of the sources you have used do not appear to be particularly reliable. For example, Genny Anderson is not a recognised scholar who has published in scholarly journals, and the information from MarineBio.org does not appear to be peer reviewed. Would you please see if you can replace sources like these with more reliable ones. Thanks. --Epipelagic (talk) 20:30, 17 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
