Welcome![edit]

Hello, Ayahbear127, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Are you sure you chose a suitable article?[edit]

Hello Ayahbear127,

Glad to see you and your fellow students improving Wikipedia articles on your very important subject of "Principles of Ecology". Of course anyone is free to edit whatever they like but I notice you chose an article which is already rated as "good". You might find it easier to improve one of the not so good articles, of which we have far too many of course.

If you go to Wikipedia:WikiProject_Environment/Assessment and scroll down slightly you will see a (beautifully colored!) matrix of articles. I see there are 7 "top" importance articles for that project which are only "start" class. And of their "high" importance articles there are 24 stubs and 255 which are only "start" class. If you click on the number you will see a list and might prefer to change your article for example to Built environment or Environmental education in the United States or Particulate pollution.

But as I say it is up to you, and if you decide to stick with Effects of climate change and need help feel free to ask on the talk page of that article. Also perhaps you could mention this suggestion to your fellow students.

Hope you all enjoy this part of your course Chidgk1 (talk) 14:11, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
