Welcome!

Hello, Godzilla136, 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.

Shark conservation

Thanks for your additions to the shark article. One thing you should bear in mind when adding to Wikipedia is tone and structure. In an encyclopaedia article, you don't talk to your readers directly, so you wouldn't say "Here are some laws..." Rather, you'd just make it a statement, something along the lines of "In Indonesia..." Secondly, numbered examples don't make for good prose. It's much better to use prose instead of numbered examples (look at how the rest of the section is written); if you do feel the need to use numbered examples, you should format them as a numbered list. Hope this is helpful. Have fun editing! Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:30, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
