editHello, Cristycristal, 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.

Bushy Lake article
editHello, thanks for writing this! I've made a few edits which I hope will help:
- Saying where the lake is in the first sentence.
- I've added a reference list.
- So it's findable, I've added categories for the article and a tag on the talk page marking it as part of the California WikiProject
Few things that would be nice to add:
- When was the lake created and why?
- How's it filled from the river? From a sluice at higher elevation? Or is it sort of an overflow for when the river's high like a flood meadow?
- A photo - I looked for one on Flickr that's CC-licensed but couldn't find one. There's a Bushy Park with a lake in London which makes it hard to search for pictures for lake though, so there might be one.
Few conventions for your future reference:
- It's standard on Wikipedia to put references after the full stop. An automated bot system reads through articles fixing this though so no need to worry about changing it.
- One of the links goes to "page not found" - maybe if this is the right URL put in a link to an Internet Archive backup of the site.
- Some titles for the pdf references would be nice but not necessary
Otherwise looks good, let me know if any thoughts! Blythwood (talk) 12:18, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
