Testing Talk
Hi Chareankim, this is a test of your talk page. SockeyeSam (talk) 07:08, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for your first edit
Hi Chaerean: I saw your edit. Are you from Manitoba? Is that how you know about the ice cream store? --Greentina (talk) 15:38, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

Responsibilities
On the "American Bison" wikipedia article, I will be reponsible for the following sections: 1.2 Wood bison (describing the historical decline of the Wood bison in North America), 2 Origins of wildlife preservation in Canada (the development of the conservation movement in Canada and the role of government officials), and 6. Contemporary bison conservation (significance, current efforts, and commercial bison industry). I will also be making contributions to section 3.Canadian federal wildlife policy (changed title), which the group has agreed to work on together.

History of bison conservation in Canada

 * 1. Historical decline of the North American bison population
 * 1.1 Plains bison
 * 1.2 Wood bison (I'll be making an edit to this section of the article)
 * * Bulleted list item
 * By 1957, Woodbison was thought to have been extinct in Canada due the hybridization with the plains bison that took place in Wood Buffalo National Park between 1925-28 (Gates and Larter, 1990). With the relocation and breeding conservation program in 1963, the bison population steadily increased. From 1970s to the 90s, however, the population began to decline again with the spread of bovine tuberculosis (Joly and Messier, 2005). In case of Wood Buffalo National Park, the number of wood bisons declined from 10 000 bison in the late 1960s to 2200 bison by the late 1990s (Joy and Messier, 2005).

How to number
Hi Chaerean, I think the problem is that you have used both hashtags and your own numbers in the markup. Only one or the other is needed. SockeyeSam (talk) 20:36, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Invitation to Vancouver meetup
Hello,

You are invited to an edit-a-thon at the Prophouse Café on Sunday March 25, as part of Women's History Month events all over the world. If you wish to attend, please see Meetup/Vancouver WikiWomen's Edit-a-Thon and add your signature to the list.

Thank you! Inverse Hypercube (talk) 10:05, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

Comments on your outline
Chaereankim, Thanks for your message! Isn't it great how the WP community answers right away? I think if the community is suggesting a new article (which then would be linked to the main article on American bison), then that's what you should do. Will you or someone on your team propose an article called "Bison Conservation in Canada"? (Don't call it environmental history). Or do you want me to do it - which I would be happy to do.

In terms of fulfilling your assignment of posting 250-400 words, for now just do it in one of the Sandboxes of your team members. Once we get the approval for the new article you can move it there.

A few other things: be sure to thank the people who made the suggestions on the article talk page (and make sure you sign your comments). And when you do that make sure you start a new section as I am doing here. It makes reading the talk page a lot easier. I noticed when you left me a note on mu talk page you just indented, which is usually fine, but that usually means your comment has to to with the subject heading (which in this case was about the Columbia River Treaty).

Please let me know asap if I should get things in motion to start the new article and I will do it! --Greentina (talk) 14:51, 10 March 2012 (UTC)


 * PS On reflection, your new article should be A HISTORY OF BISON CONSERVATION IN CANADA! --Greentina (talk) 20:01, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
 * maybe drop the "A" ;) The Interior  (Talk) 20:12, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

Help with citations
Hi Chaereankim. I noticed you were wondering about the best way to cite on Wikipedia. We don't have a house citation style, so you can use any of the academic styles (MLA, Harvard, etc.). The only rule is that the style should be consistent in the article. Personally, I use the cite templates found here: WP:CITET. They look a bit intimidating, but once you use them they're really quite intuitive. Further reading: WP:REF. Clear as mud, I know. The Interior (Talk) 04:56, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
