Hello Corey,
I am an online ambassador for your plate tectonics class. I will assist you in your Wikipedia writings. You can send me an email Graeme Bartlett or use my talk page if you want my attention. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:08, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
Hi Corey,
for your topic, you can consider separating Barberton Greenstone Belt into its own article. Although Evidence for Early Evolution of Archaean Life in the South African Barberton Greenstone Belt would make a title for a journal publication, it is a bit long for Wikipedia. Evidence of would overnarrow the subject as you are going to include doubts, and and overview. THe topic should naturally include significance and conclusions. "Early Evolution" is redundant as Archaen is already early, and the evidence is probably for existence rather than evolution. "South African" is redundant because Barberton Greenstone Belt is only found there. (It is not in the Pilbara is it?) So after all my chopping that leaves Archaean life in the Barberton Greenstone Belt as a Wikipedia title! What do you think? Graeme Bartlett (talk) 10:26, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
Hi it is good to hear from you, and you can claim credit for being the first plate tectonics student to answer on my talk page! By the way when you use a talk page or a discussion page here on Wikipedia you are encouraged sign the end of your message with ~~~~. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:22, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
Hi, for section headings only the first word should be capitalised eg Cell Morphology should read Cell morphology. You can read WP:Heading to find out about this! Graeme Bartlett (talk) 09:42, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
LOLs for you!

Article lede
[edit]Hi! I am one of the Online ambassadors signed up to help your class. I have looked at Archaen Life in the Barberton Greenstone Belt. In line with the guidance in the Manual of Style section on ledes (the opening paragraph(s) of an article before the first section heading) at WP:BEGINNING, I recommend that the first sentence in your article be something like, "Fossils of Archaen Life in the Barberton Greenstone Belt are among the oldest widely accepted evidence for life on Earth." As the Manual of Style says, the title of the article, or some paraphrase of the title, should be the subject of the first sentence in the article. This first sentence should also convey some idea of why the subject has an encyclopedia article, without going into too much detail. The rest of the lede should summarize the major points of the article. You could just add a sentence such as what I have suggested at the top of your first paragraph and leave the rest of it as it stands. You do need to be comfortable with the wording of that sentence. I find my own suggestion to be a bit awkward, and I'm sure it can be improved upon. If you have any questions, you can leave a message on my talk page. -- Donald Albury 12:00, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
DYK for Archean life in the Barberton Greenstone Belt
[edit] | On 27 November 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Archean life in the Barberton Greenstone Belt, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that fossilized microorganisms in the Barberton Greenstone Belt have been dated to 3.5 billion years ago? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Archean life in the Barberton Greenstone Belt.You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |
