Help us improve the Wikipedia Education Program

Hi Totranm! As a student editor on Wikipedia, you have a lot of valuable experience about what it's like to edit as a part of a classroom assignment. In order to help other students like you enjoy editing while contributing positively to Wikipedia, it's extremely helpful to hear from real student editors about their challenges, successes, and support needs. Please take a few minutes to answer these questions by clicking below. (Note that the responses are posted to a public wiki page.) Thanks!

Your question about linking

Hi Totranm, the guideline that answers your question is at Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Linking#What_generally_should_not_be_linked and reads as follows:

"A term should be linked, generally, at most once in an article's lead, perhaps once again in the main article body, and perhaps once at first occurrence in each infobox, table, caption, and footnote. Even within these general limits, the choice of whether or not to repeat a link should consider whether the added value of linking a particular occurrence outweighs the consequent dilution of the value of other links."

You can also look at other well-developed articles for guidance here. I hope this helps. Dcoetzee 17:28, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi Totran,

Speaking of linking, I did link the following on your page so far. Please feel free to unlink them if you feel it's interfering with the body of work on the page.

• United States Supreme Court
• snail darter
• Little Tennessee River

They are all in your lead section, so I felt that would be the most important place to link subjects mentioned in the case.

Also, I forgot to mention what the minor edits were when I made them. So when you view your edit history and see my name without any explanation, it was these links that I added. Sorry about that.

Orphaned non-free media (File:Fisheries biologist Gary Hickman prepares to transplant the snail darter from the Little Tennessee River to the Hiwassee.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:Fisheries biologist Gary Hickman prepares to transplant the snail darter from the Little Tennessee River to the Hiwassee.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:12, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

Article banner

Hi Totranm, responding to your question: I think you meant the banner you added in this edit, so you figured out how to add it correctly. Please let me know if this isn't the banner you meant. Thanks! Dcoetzee 23:09, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
