Welcome![edit]
Hello, Emily.wachoskidark, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; 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.

Piping.[edit]
Dear Emily, 
Since we both worked on the Ruth Todd article you created, I have just visited your user page and I hope you won't mind if I suggest that, using the Wikipedia feature known as piping, you could replace this:
| This user is a student editor in Wikipedia:Wiki_Ed/University_of_Calgary/Introductory_Geology_(Fall_2016). Student assignments should always be carried out using a course page set up by the instructor. It is usually best to develop assignments in your sandbox. After evaluation, the additions may go on to become a Wikipedia article or be published in an existing article. |

The end result is the same: clicking on the blue text still takes you to the same article; the only difference is that the second case reads like a proper sentence. (Still hoping you didn't mind I brought this to your attention... 
)
Best wishes of success in your studies!

Duplicate ref tag with bare url.[edit]
Hello again, Emily,
Just to explain why I reverted your earlier edit, here.
Your earlier edit added a ref tag with a bare url for the PDF written by Buzas & Low, for which I had already provided the ref tag which has the following name clause: name="RTMemorial". Therefore, if you want to cite the same PDF, all you need to do is add the short form of that existing citation: <ref name="RTMemorial" />{{rp|1}}, where the page number (in the PDF) is coded in the {{rp|x}} template (where 'x' is the page number). You can see how I've done this in the article.
Every time you re-use the short form of a previously defined ref tag, its entry in the reference list is prefixed with an additional lower case, superscripted letter; in this case: a,b,c,d,e,f,g, meaning the same ref tag has been used seven times: a when I first coded it in full, and the remaining six letters (b,c,d,e,f,g) when I coded its short form: <ref name="RTMemorial" />{{rp|x}}.
Let me know if there is anything I can do to help you, Emily. Also, if you already knew some or all of the above, then please forgive for over-explaining the obvious.
With kind regards;
Patrick. ツ Pdebee.(talk)(guestbook) 03:10, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
