Outline feedback

Hi Steph,

This looks like a pretty good start but I'm still left wondering how this is going to tie back to our class topics (maybe this can be related to their native habitat and how that's changed?). Please clarify before you go too far into the research.

Hi Dr. Fulton,

Thank you for your feedback. I was planning on explaining how this fish became endangered due to human interference with the central valley waterways and how much Californians have changed the Sac perch's native habitat such as the San Joaquin river. Is this okay?

Wikilinks

Hi Ss5243, please go a little easy on the wikilinks. I have removed the majority of the links you inserted in Sacramento perch because they either a) linked to everyday concepts that are not normally linked because it clutters up the text, or b) to disambiguation pages which should not be linked to at all. Consider only linking pages that treat concepts that may be unfamiliar to the reader or contain material that is directly relevant. Cheers!-- Elmidae (talk) 12:11, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
