Hi. I'm afraid I've just reverted your changes at Sea lion. The main problem was copyright violation. Please read the following standard notice about this (it's strongly worded, but this is a serious thing): Your addition to Sea lion has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. [End of standard notice] There were several other problems. These are a few: Eumetopias jubatus
 * The proper place for material about Steller's Sea Lion is its own article.
 * Scientific names are written in italics: type two single quotes each side of the text, like this:
 * The first word (genus) always has a capital initial, but the second (species) never does.

If you want to practice editing, please use the Wikipedia sandbox, or you could create your own sandbox here: User ToriShelt/Sandbox Regards, Richard New Forest (talk) 10:44, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
 * It's worth spending a bit of time getting grammar right, and spelling – not least for the name of the animal's discoverer!
