Welcome!
Hello, Daquanhebron, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:11, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

Mistakes in your editing
Hi Daquan--There are a bunch of mistakes in your editing.
 * The citation you added in for louse is giving an error. You just cited Web of Science instead of citing the actual article in a journal. Please change this ASAP. --Cprather3 (talk) 04:42, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
 * You did the same thing for the citation that you added for Neuroptera. Please fix. --Cprather3 (talk) 20:46, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
 * You also linked the word Neuroptera to go directly back to the Neuroptera page in several different places; this doesn't make sense and is unnecessary. I undid this change, but be sure not to do this again in the future. --Cprather3 (talk) 20:46, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
 * You reference for the Neuroptera "In human culture" section is very messed up. Look at the result at the bottom of the page--please fix. --Cprather3 (talk) 20:46, 26 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Hi Daquan, I've fixed quite a few mistakes in both Neuroptera and Louse, but per the above there may be more, so please take care. Note please what I did to the citations: titles are in Title Case not SHOUT CASE, and we don't need accessdates for journals or books.


 * On the use of American English, please note that we don't make this switch without good reason; Neuroptera may well on the evidence have been in British English all the time, so I think we should leave it as -ise not ize, colour not color, etc. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:40, 26 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Hi, just to let you know it's not all right to take a mini-fact for one species and try to generalise it to a whole group (a very large one) by adding "typically". It might be, or it might not. That's not, I think, even your opinion, it's just a guess. Please hold off from editing until you have definite facts to add in what is definitely the correct context. Note too that the louse article is a "good article", which means it has gone through a formal review process. In such cases, special care is needed to avoid making articles actually worse.

Hi again, I've just fixed a string of small errors in your editing, so please take care. Also, it would really be better to cite books, plays and poems to the originals rather than to somebody's PhD thesis honestly. Chiswick Chap (talk) 14:00, 13 April 2016 (UTC)

FYI
Hi mate, I guess you wanted to achieve this. For more on internal links see Help:Link, and please notice that references are added without a preceding space but after punctuation (if any). Happy editing, Droigheann (talk) 13:22, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
