Undiscussed changes at Watchmaker analogy

Hi, I've no idea what you're trying to do in this article but you need to discuss your plans before editing. The lead section is a poor place to begin as it is the summary of the rest of the article, and highly visible. Let us know what your concern is and we'll be happy to discuss it. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 07:14, 6 November 2014 (UTC)

Cask of Amontillado

Before doing more work on the analysis section at The Cask of Amontillado, you should consider reading up on Wikipedia's policies on no original research, as well as how to cite information you've gleaned from reliable sources. Best of luck. --Midnightdreary (talk) 13:40, 6 November 2014 (UTC)

Seconded. The statement " I was told to change a Wikipedia page for my information course and record what happens" indicates that your lecturer needs to prepare all of you more thoroughly before you begin; Wikipedia is run by volunteers, so there aren't any paid staff waiting happily for classes of students to experiment with live pages and then pick up the pieces. Do please let your lecturer know that they should make themselves known on a project page and link to this from the talk pages of articles that are going to be edited by students. That way we can feed concerns back to the lecturer quickly before a whole class starts making the same mistake many times over. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 14:59, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
