Firstly, Welcome to Wikipedia.

I appreciate what you're trying to do with the article Lutra. However, simply copying in large chunks of text from other articles does not lead to a coherent article. It would be better to write a short article on Lutra itself, rather than its members. What makes Lutra different from other otters, for instance? What do its member have in common? --Stemonitis (talk) 16:52, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Hello Stemonitis

Thank you for your concern for the the wikipedia article. I have no intention on simply using other articles to expand a stub of an article. I am fulfilling an assignment for a biology class and I am supposed to research and present my own material as an addition to the original article. Since the Lutra article has virtually no information, but does contain links to other articles with info, I was thinking I can just copy/paste the already known information to the LUTRA page and then obviously add my own information that I have researched for the past weeks. I'm afraid the changes you saw were simply the already written (and valid) information I felt necessary to include in the general LUTRA genus. By wednesday I hope to have a complete draft of the article with both the original content and my research that I found. May 1st is actually when I need to have the article complete. If by then, you do not feel the information I have added is sufficient then I hope to talk then=). As far as right now, this article is just a work in progress!

Let me know what you think. I am sorry for how it may have looked. Again, Thank you for your concern.
