Hello, Kaisyj172, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Adam 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.

"Hawaiian Langauge"

edit

Hi, Kaisyj122. I'm not involved with Wikiedu, but I am a linguist. I've edited Hawaiian language and it's on my watchlist, so I was notified of the change you made (or more likely a bot made as a result of some change you made on Wikiedu).

When I looked at the change, I noticed right away that you have two items in the language column,

Hawaiian Langauge, Hawaiian language

You'll notice that the first one appears in red. That's because there is no page called "Hawaiian Langauge". There are two reasons for that:

  1. From WP:NCCAPS, or in full Wikipedia:Naming conventions (capitalization) :
    Do not capitalize the second or subsequent words in an article title, unless the title is a proper name. For multiword page titles, one should leave the second and subsequent words in lowercase unless the title phrase is a proper name that would always occur capitalized, even in the middle of a sentence.
  2. "Language" is misspelled there, with au instead of ua: a typo, I assume. I've done that often enough myself, and "language" is probably one of the most frequent nouns in my writing vocabulary.
