First Edit
Hello Eye101, Thanks for the message - and yes, I agree about the concept of lingerie football.... At least it makes for content on Wikipedia! --Greentina (talk) 00:24, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

Sandbox + apostrophe
Hey Eye101, I changed the link for your sandbox because the "my sandbox" thing wasn't letting other people view the page. I've also left a request at Talk:Hell's Gate, British Columbia for you and your team. The Interior (Talk) 20:04, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks!--Eye101 (talk) 20:15, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

Hell's Gate Slide - Environmental and social impacts
Hey Isaac, Anastasia and I are going to do some collaboration between our sections, when we have done so we will throw them up on the sandbox. --Alexwarren89 (talk)

Please have a look at my sandbox. I added my first section on social impacts. --Alexwarren89 (talk)

References!
Hey Team. Check out the cool new way to do references (on the Hall's Gate page)! Do you like it?

Editing
Hey team. So as Tina asked that we do it, I put up the rest of our rough stuff on the Hell's Gate page last night. So from now on, editing should happen on the page itself. Gooooooooooooooooooo team!--Eye101 (talk) 18:05, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

Next level business
Eye101, we talked about peer review for Hells Gate. We can start with the Good article designation (gives the green "plus" in the right hand corner of the article). It a one person review by (usually) an experienced article writer. Unfortunately, there's a backlog, so it might be weeks before someone gets to it. Geography articles tend to get reviewed quicker than others. I'll help out with what I can. Right now, I'd say we need a little more physical details on the landform itself. Exact location on the river, width of opening, depth of water at the narrowing, relative depth of the canyon to the adjacent mountains. Probably a new section before History. I heard somebody say they had more photos, they should upload them to commons.
 * Criteria: WP:WIAGA
 * To nominate: WP:GAN The Interior  (Talk) 21:20, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Awesome thanks. I'm thinking that maybe this will have to wait till after exams/papers are finished... I'll plug away at it, but the substantial stuff might not get started for a couple weeks. I'll let the others know the thinking, and see if they wanna work on it too :)

Shortened footnotes
Sorry, forgot to link you this: Help:Shortened footnotes. That's what the WAC Bennett Dam group used. They take a bit of time to set up, but are oh-so-nice once in place. The Interior (Talk) 22:46, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Nice work! The Interior  (Talk) 04:52, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

Feedback
Hey Isaac...thanks for taking the time to read over my article on bison conservation. I've been pretty invested in the article, so I appreciate the praise! We will definitely clean up to punctuation & citations...thanks for bringing that to our attention. I will be sure to give Hell's Gate a proper read in the next few days. Congrats on being the most engaged Wikipedian! I was also rather concerned that it might be me haha : ) --Sara Binns (talk) 21:05, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
 * You were shortlisted, Sara. Wish I had more t-shirts...  The Interior  (Talk) 04:52, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

WP:LQ
Hello Eye101, I removed your quotation changes at Nature fakers controversy, but I wanted to explain in more detail as to why without the constraints of an edit summary. Wikipedia uses something called logical quotation, which means you should "place all punctuation marks inside the quotation marks if they are part of the quoted material and outside if they are not." Because I wrote the nature fakers article, I know for a fact that all quotations follow LQ; so when a period or comma appears after the ending quotation mark, that means that the punctuation does not occur in the quote. It took time for me to become accustomed to writing in such a way, so I understand your confusion. I don't agree with its usage, but since the nature fakers article is Featured it must adhere to the MOS and other fiddly bits that Wikipedia has chosen to rest its laurels on. I hope this helps! María ( yllo submarine ) 01:11, 9 April 2012 (UTC)


 * That's all right, there's tons of little MOS things that still trip me up, and I've been editing for six years now. The best thing about Wiki is that if you're unsure about something, chances are someone else will come along, clean up after you, then cite some part of the MOS you've never even heard of before. :) Best of luck!

Quotations
Hey team. Something another wikipedian just pointed out to me, about quotations used with other punctuation: "On Wikipedia, place all punctuation marks inside the quotation marks if they are part of the quoted material and outside if they are not." This is from LQ. Do you think we could each go over our section and put the punctuation in the right place, cause it'll take having looked at the actual source to know where it should go? If you think I'm just being anal, don't worry about it and I'll do it if I can find the time :) Hope writing is treating you all well.--Eye101 (talk) 04:36, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't mind going over the whole entry! I'm just about to read over the whole piece anyway and see whether there should be any edits done! --AnastasiaU. (talk) 06:30, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

Introduction citations, and edits to the article
Hey! As I mentioned earlier, yesterday I went over the whole article and found some minor errors that should be fixed. Do I just go and edit them on the page or do you want me to put them into my sandbox so we can all see my proposed changes before I change anything on the actual entry? Also I have a question for the intro we do not have any citation (I know that many articles on the wikipedia do the same thing) but should not we cite the dates (or is that okay as long as we cite them in the middle of the article)? --AnastasiaU. (talk) 17:53, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I'd say just go for it and make the edits, and we can check them out once you've done them on the page. As for the citations in the introduction, I was wondering the same things... and so far I don't have a good answer. Maybe we should ask The Interior? --Eye101 (talk) 18:03, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Hey folks - The idea of the lead section is that it summarizes all the content in the article. So, in theory, everything mentioned in the lead will have been referenced lower down in the content and shouldn't need a cite in the lead.  Here's yet another wiki guideline: WP:LEAD.  The Interior  (Talk) 18:32, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Great! I'll do the changes soon than! Feel free to reverse edit it after! And thank you for letting us know about the introduction @The Interior! :) AnastasiaU. (talk) 18:38, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Hey! Just a quick note I think that the spelling of Hell's Gate is inconsistent throughout the entry so I am going to change the inconsistent ones to Hell's Gate for now (and once the article is transfered we can change the spelling of the name to match the entry). --AnastasiaU.
