User:Aaralyn02/Acanthochitona armata

Comments (by A.Faucci): Nice draft. It just needs some rearranging and polishing.

- I would leave the lead that is in the original article and rearrange some of the information you have into the required sections: Description (how do they look, so general appearance and morphology), Distribution & Habitat (where can they be found geographically and where specifically, in which habitat), and Human Use & Cultural Significance.

- References: Nice job on formatting them correctly. You can delete the list you made and leave the one Wikipedia did automatically. Also, add at least 2 more as one of your sources is already in the original article to get the full points. I am emailing you some pages from some books I have (the same ones I brought to class the last few weeks).

- Make sure your English is correct and clear. Also, there is no article before a scientific species and that name is always in italics (Acanthochitona armata...).
