Hi Our name, SHMentoring, is because at our school, we have groups of upperclassmen that teach freshmen about high school and things like that. It is three of us in a group and the only reason this account was created was to prove a point to our particular group that we are teaching. The reason we made inaccurate edits to the page "Dugong" is because we were going to save the changes, then have the freshmen do a research project and see how many used wikipedia. Our goal was to see who wrote down our inaccurate facts, because wikipedia is not always right (says all the teachers). We were surprised and disappointed to find out that our page had been reverted back to normal in less than five minutes. That is not only inconvenient to us, because we were teaching a valuable lesson to our mentoring students, but it also effected our ability to teach them anything that day, and they got out of a lesson. That means one more day lost for progress, and the freshmen need all the help they can get. That was our only purpose for this account, so I am sorry for the inconveniences it caused whoever needed to wiki-"Dugongs" today, but wikipedia has caused us inconveniences as well by ruining a perfectly good lesson and grade. We instead are hoping to make an entire wiki page dedicated to our school, and fill in the information (a topic we do know about) and then add in a few miscellaneous details to throw off the freshmen, and have them do their facts over our school instead. That way, we can prove our point, recover our lesson, and wikipedia will have grown in one new page over an itty bitty school in midwestern Iowa. Thanks SHMentoring


 * I'm glad to see that you are using Wikipedia to assist in education.
 * Please keep in mind that Wikipedia is not a test website and is viewed by millions of people everyday. So please ensure that you only make helpful and constructive edits, you might also find My first article useful when you start writing the article you mentioned.
 * Also, our username policy only allows one account to be used by one person, so you will each need to create an account to edit Wikipedia with. This is very easy, all you need to do is create one new account each at Special:Userlogin/signup.
 * Because you have said that this account is being used by more than one person I have prevented it from editing Wikipedia. Though as I said you will still be able to create accounts for yourselves. It might also be a good idea to note on your new userpages that the accounts are related to each other.
 * If you need further assistance, please feel free to ask here, or once you have created your own account on my talk page. Regards, and I hope you enjoy your time on Wikipedia. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 14:26, 6 December 2013 (UTC)
