I wanted to explain why I have removed a couple of your more recent additions - such the tips about how to handle tide pool animals. Please read WP:What Wikipedia is not which explains that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia; it is not a travel guide or how-to manual. In particular, we never address the reader directly or give directions about how to do something, and we don't give tourist-type details about attractions. Also, the material we write at Wikipedia has to be in our own words, not copied from a brochure or website. Please do continue to edit here, but read the introductory links above, and make sure that your additions are encyclopedic and in your own words.

Again, welcome! MelanieN (talk) 23:07, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
