Hello, Lucaswalters, 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.

Feedback

[edit]

Your draft looks good in content terms, but it does have problems in terms of formatting.

  1. Usually, the only bold text in a Wikipedia article is the article title, which is bolded in the first sentence of the article.
  2. Your sub-headers are just bold, big text. They need to be formatted as "subheading 1".
  3. You should use the citation tool to create references, instead of creating them manually. With a DOI or ISBN you can create a fully-formatted reference that (because it's embedded in a citation template) can be maintained by bots.
  4. You used Wikipedia as a source. Wikipedia can never be used as a source in Wikipedia.
  5. Article titles shouldn't be repeated in section headers. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:11, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Peer review

[edit]

Your article overall looks to be good! you have a lot of sources and a fair amount of content contained in your article, as well the writing is done fairly well! The only thing that stands out to me is that I'm not sure if the Humans (other vertebrates) section should be separate from the rest of the vertebrate section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rileyregular18 (talkcontribs) 02:04, 17 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
