Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=578503363 your edit] to Pronghorn may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 ""s. If you have, don't worry: just [ edit the page] again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?action=edit&preload=User:A930913/BBpreload&editintro=User:A930913/BBeditintro&minor=&title=User_talk:A930913&preloadtitle=BracketBot%20–%20&section=new my operator's talk page].

Welcome
Hello students, and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are participating in a class project. You and your classmates have been doing good work to expand articles about endangered and extinct animals. I am leaving this note to offer some advice about editing more carefully and about editing Wikipedia in general.

First, please ask your instructor or professor to drop us a note on the Education noticeboard. We would like to offer some assistance and advice.

If you haven't done so already, we encourage you to go through our training for students. Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, if your class doesn't already have one.

If you need help, check out Questions, ask me for help by creating a new section on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Please also read this helpful advice for students.

We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay, learn, and contribute even after your assignment is finished!

I have noticed that some of your fellow students have been having trouble adding citations to articles. It can be challenging to learn the proper syntax, but it is rewarding to see your additions formatted nicely when you get it right. When you add citations, please try to format them to match citations that are already in well-documented articles on Wikipedia. Specifically:


 * Do not use, just put the whole day, month, and year in the   parameter.
 * Fill in  only when you have a url to go with it.   is not necessary for journal citations.
 * and other dates need to be in one of these formats. Date formats like 10/12/2013 can be confusing to people reading in countries where they put the day of the month first.
 * Use  for the page numbers of a journal article, like this:  . You should not cite the specific page on which the cited information appears.
 * Web addresses need to start with "http://", like this: . This is not right:.
 * I have noticed some typos in the citations that your fellow students have added. I strongly recommend using the copy and paste feature of your computer to avoid typos.

Thanks for all of your hard work! – Jonesey95 (talk) 04:16, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
