Welcome![edit]

Hello, Bentheiler, 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.

Hyena edits[edit]

Hi there - sorry your two additions to Hyena both got deleted. But you seem to have run into two common issues for new contributors: A) make sure that whatever you add is not already covered, either in this or another related article. Your first edit had only content that is already treated exhaustively both at Hyena and Striped hyena. B) You do not need to define a term if we have an article on it and you can just place a wikilink. Carnassials already were linked in this manner one sentence above your addition. (A little more distantly, C) please make sure you don't introduce spelling errors). Well, catching that kind of stuff is why we keep checking up on each other :) Cheers! --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 12:59, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
