Welcome!

Hello, Akenefick, 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.

Cite error

Hi. What happened is that that reference you removed was re-used elsewhere in the article, so when you removed it, there was a reference to the named reference "oregonhistory", which now no longer existed in the article. A bot, AnomieBOT fixed that error for you, as you can see in this edit. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 14:56, 13 February 2018 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for February 15

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Fish wheel, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Haida (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:58, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

Peer-review

A very interesting article! I have learned a lot. Maybe just a few details for you to check: - you could probably add more references to other wikipedia pages for key concepts (eg First Nations); - some citations do not have doi included: make sure the copyright allows you to not include it (I had this issue with one of my citation); - do you know other examples elsewhere than in North America? Other than that, nice job ! MynMada (talk) 02:47, 18 February 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions. I noticed in Fish ladder that you have wiki-linked many terms that we do not usually link. What to link and what not to is difficult to express in a single sentence. However, the WP:OVERLINK guideline is pretty good. Please review my edits to improve the article; I may have been slightly too aggressive unlinking a few items. —EncMstr (talk) 20:47, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
