Welcome

Hello, Littlecass, and welcome to Wikipedia. We are very excited to see you beginning to edit Wikipedia and its various articles and related pages. We hope that your journey and quest as a Wikipedian is successful, fruitful, and full of both successes and fruits.--Der Elbenkoenig (talk) 14:46, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much,Der Elbenkoenig!!! I am definitely confused by Wikipedia's process...I have never been particularly skilled with computers, let alone coding for a website. I definitely foresee myself encountering many problems. I hope I can receive help as I continue with my efforts to edit Wikipedia pages! :) --LittleCass 15:41, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

Hello Group mate

This is a huge project we have here and I would like to have no messing about. This it a team effort here so lets be a team and get cracking! I look foward to making articles with you all and trying to get one of them to FA.--Krustev LeMont (talk) 22:02, 12 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am really nervous about actually sticking to one topic. I am not sure if I can actually make the decision to pick one, haha. I am too apprehensive it will be the wrong one. (LittleCass 01:26, 17 October 2011 (UTC)).
I see you changed articles? What was wrong with the other seahorse? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Krustev LeMont (talk • contribs) 02:03, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I changed my topic from the Hippocampus Reidi to the Hippocampus erectus because this seahorse is definitely native to North Carolina. After emailing the Pine Knoll Shores Aquarium, it seemed that they knew more about this species; therefore, I decided to change my topic! How is yours coming along??(LittleCass 16:52, 1 November 2011 (UTC))

Its starting to get to the point where refs are taking a bit longer to find. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Krustev LeMont (talk • contribs) 23:43, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

How many do you have on your mushroom? (LittleCass 20:56, 2 November 2011 (UTC))

I have five books now and a total of 10 references I believe, I don't think there will be many more.--Krustev LeMont (talk) 00:33, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nice. I need to find some more. I don't have a problem finding information, but I have been using the same five resources because they are descriptive. How is your page coming along? (LittleCass 01:24, 14 November 2011 (UTC))

Its going, im not sure how good it is but most of the information i need is there i think.--Krustev LeMont (talk) 03:09, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Educational Gain from Wikipedia

In this section, I will begin to briefly elaborate on the main things I have learned from Wikipedia!

Technical Aspects:

The introduction is simply a summary of what is to come in the rest of the article... or what most everyone will start and finish their reading
You do not capitalize the species' common name (unless it is at the beginning of a sentence.. DUH.)
How to reference properly (online journals, book, etc.) and link back to article
Add captions to images
Learned A LITTLE about copyright rules and regulations, although it is still complicated to me

Overall, I believe two of the most important things I walked away with from this project are: first off, my knowledge gain about referencing. As a high school student, I have only written one research paper and the whole process was horrific. Wikipedia has truly helped me understand the referencing process and I believe this project has prepared me the most for future college papers...I think that's a big deal. Also, Wikipedia conveyed to me the true "scientific process." It is time consuming, but very rewarding. When I first took on the project, I was incredibly nervous. However, after dedicating time and brain power, I have discovered myself to be proud of what I have contributed to Wikipedia. I find myself showing my friends and family my article... I truly developed an interest in the lined seahorse. I respect those who contribute regularly and better the Wikipedia database--it is definitely underestimated.

Group review

Hey, this is not something that you have to do but if are able to find some time counld you look over my article and see if there is anything you see that might need correcting. And this wouldd also be good for group colaberation. Captain kirkintosh (talk) 21:52, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, definitely. I'll take a look at it Sunday if that is okay. Would you be willing to take a look at mine then as well? (LittleCass 23:27, 6 January 2012 (UTC))

Your recent edits

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button or located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 16:50, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I see the problem now. You are using the tildes but as your signature has no links in it then it looks manual. You can amend your signature in Special:Preferences. Regards, SunCreator ^(talk) 04:03, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Did that fix it? LittleCass 04:11, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

Nevermind, it didn't. haha. I'll try again. Littlecass 04:13, 10 January 2012 (UTC) I think I am going to have to get someone to help me with that tomorrow in my class. I can't seem to figure it out. At least I know what the problem is now! Thanks!
