File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Quoll range map.png
Thanks for uploading File:Quoll range map.png. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status and its source. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

Excellent
Congratulations, you are setting an excellent example for the others. If you actively engage, others will assist. Your collaboration component for your portfolio will serve you well. Unfortunately, for many of the others, you are destroying any excuses they may have for their stagnation. There is a learning curve here, yours seems exponential - a good thing since it is a challenging road to FA. Follow-up on the peer review and hopefully there will be a general agreement to submit for GA. --JimmyButler (talk) 23:59, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

Why thank you! Malleus says that it will probably be ready for GA this weekend. I am having quite a bit of trouble with one of the peer review comments. I can't figure out at is American English or British English, so that might hold me back. I don't want to steal all of the glory as Marissa's article is almost identical to mine! :) --Savetheoceans (talk) 00:13, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

You Rock

 * Without meaning to rain on your parade, GAN will be a big ask; the job ain't done 'til it's done. I think the article has a good chance, but only if you keep on top of the review. Malleus Fatuorum 21:37, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Will do! :)

congratulations!

 * thanks! :) Savetheoceans (talk) 21:47, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

Educational Gain from the Wikipedia Project
As all of you who bother to read my user or talk page know, I am getting graded on my Wikipedia experience. To highlight the educational gain of this project, I was asked to put a list of things I learned from this project including but not limited to: grammar from copy edits and software use. So here it is:
 * I learned how to use Wikipedia


 * Scientific naming for animals (genus, family, etc) diff diff
 * correct citation of journals, websites, etc. diff


 * what is a reliable source diff


 * how to insert a picture diff diffdiff


 * organization of an article diff diff diff


 * how to write good captions diff


 * active voice diff


 * are vs. is diff


 * alt text on pictures diffdiff


 * where to put in wikilinksdiffdiff


 * scientific vocabulary diffdiffdiffdiff


 * how to do conversions diff


 * No more redundancy diff


 * complicated singular vs. plural diff


 * Don't put refs in lead diff


 * How to make a range map (Jacob Springfield helped me)


 * Flickr copyright laws (Marissa Helped me)


 * spaces between sentence and ref tag diff

-Thank you to all the people who helped me with this project Savetheoceans (talk) 14:37, 29 November 2011 (UTC)


 * I can't help myself not to give advice. I think it will impress your teacher if you organize this list.  People have a hard time reading long lists ("laundry lists").  They want some sort of structure to make it easier on them.  I would group this into a few categories (think of some, maybe technical aspects of Wiki, philosophy of Wiki, biological, research writing...not pushing those, just a few that jumped to mind).  Make it so that the number of subelements is 2-7 or so.  Then organize the order pf each category with some rationale (importance?).  Even just the work of moving stuff around into more of a hierarchical structure will help you think about the topic and how the pieces go together.  Again...great work on Quoall...and sorry if this is too much suggestion...can't help myself not to coach!TCO (talk) 21:58, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

GOOD JOB!

Sex-determination system Review
Hello fellow class member! :) I noticed that you had said that you wanted to continue on editing Wikipedia with the Quoll. I would like to get my article, Sex Determination system, to at least GA even though the grade is done. So I was wondering, since you've already experienced GA, if you could do a look through my article to fix any awkward sentences or obvious grammar? I was thinking about submitting it later to see if Mr. Butler will review it, whenever he has time. If you could help any, that would be great! And if you really are planning on taking the Quoll to the next level, I'd be happy to help you whenever you need. :) Thanks! Phorofor (talk) 03:25, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
