It is highly recommended that you place this text:  on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and should be treated accordingly.

Black-and-white ruffed lemur
Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your edits to Black-and-white ruffed lemur article. I have fixed the formatting of one of the citations (see here, and I encourage you to follow a similar format. Please see the following for documentation: cite book, cite journal, and cite doi

Also, I've adjusted the titles of some of the subsections you created. The reason is that they need to be as concise as possible. Keep in mind that WikiProject Primates also has its own suggested article format, although in this case, some of the topics are a little substandard for primate articles. Generally what I do is write about the general behavior under the main "Behavior" section, organizing it into paragraphs by subtopic. If the material for a subtopic gets to be too much (more than a full paragraph for a specific subtopic), then I add a subsection, preferably using one of the names suggested by the WikiProject. Yes, the subsections make it easy to link down to the specific information someone might want, but if there is very limited information, the last thing you want is a bunch of subheadings with just a few sentences. I was hoping to point you to a general Wikipedia guideline or policy regarding this, but it looks like things have changed since I started and someone has removed it. But if the goal of your class project is to help generate good and featured articles, I can guarantee that this issue will come up.

Lastly, see Naming conventions (fauna) about the capitalization of common names for species. WikiProject Primates uses sentence case for common names.

I hope this helps. – Maky  « talk » 05:42, 26 September 2012 (UTC)
