Glad you're hanging out on Wikipedia!

Hello Haagendaz15! Welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for adding so much useful information about Hawaiian hoary bats. Some of the content you removed seems to have been very out-of-date, and I'm guessing you removed and replaced it deliberately. I think you removed some of the markup formatting unintentionally, possibly by copy-pasting the displayed text into an external editor, working on it, and then pasting it back with WP:Visual Editor. For instance, you removed the categories and the taxon bar (at the bottom of the screen) and replaced all the ʻokinas with apostrophes (which look nearly identical). You were not to know that this would have that effect. Visual Editor only really works in the browser. If you click on the "view source" tab, you will get the article in a form that you can edit in an external editor, markup formatting (which can be a bit hard to learn; see this summary sheet for a quick starter).

I've re-added the formatting, and restored some of the content you removed. I hope this has not made problems in the article; if you removed some of it deliberately, I hope you will feel free to remove it again. If you say why in the edit summary, people will know you did it on purpose. I also added an image and some more intra-wiki links and lightly copy-edited some of the phrasing; I hope you don't mind, this is in no way a criticism.

I, and other editors, are happy to give you any information or resources you need; the learning curve is a bit steep at first. You are welcome to post to my talk page (linked from my signature at the end of this post) if I can be useful to you. The WP:Teahouse is a useful place to go for advice (and unlike me, is always online). I hope you stick around; again, welcome to Wikipedia editorhood! HLHJ (talk) 04:27, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
