User talk:Bloodshot20

Welcome!

Hello, Bloodshot20! Welcome to Wikipedia! It appears that you are here to participate in a class project. If you haven't done so already, we highly encourage you to go through our training page that's specifically created and catered for students such as yourself:



If you need help, check out Wikipedia's page for questions. You can also ask me by visiting my user talk page and leaving a message, or you can ask your question on this page by editing it and placing {{Help me}} before your question. Please make sure that you sign your messages on discussion pages, which is done by entering four tildes (~~~~) at the very end of it; this will automatically insert your username and the date. I also highly recommend that you review the advice for students page.

Before you create an article, make sure that you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.

Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, and if your class doesn't already have one, please tell your instructor about creating one. It is highly recommended that you place this text: {{Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know that the article is a subject of an educational assignment as well as aid your communication with them.

Here are some more pages that you might find helpful:

While editing:

We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay with us as a member of the community - even after your assignment is finished. Your time, energy, and your contributions will be highly valued and appreciated among us.

I've noticed a lot of new editors recently working on fish-related articles. Are you part of some sort of large class project? :Jay8g [V•T•E] 05:22, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the class somewhat large, something like 100 people. It's a fish biology and conservation class at UC Davis. Each of us picked a fish that we could add a decent bit (2 pages minimum) of information to. I looked over the Wikipedia editing rules and stuff, but I'm gonna review them so my hard work doesn't get reverted. Bloodshot20 (talk) 05:35, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Bloodshot20: Can you ask your instructor to reach out to Wiki Education at teach.wikiedu.org? We provide full support and training for class projects like yours and would love to help! They can email us at contact@wikiedu.org. Thanks! --LiAnna (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:24, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Citing IUCN conservation status

Hi Bloodshot20!
Welcome to Wikipedia. I see you are doing great work, especially on fish articles.

However, most of your articles are ending up with maintenance errors, and are ending up in Category:Cite IUCN maint

There is a quick fix, which is also a great time saver: Use {{make cite iucn}} - simply copy the citation text from the IUCN Red List (there is a button on their site that'll do that for you) and paste it in after the pipe | character

See:Template:Make cite IUCN if you need more info

Sometime later, a bot will complete the process for you, with the correct syntax

Happy editing! Big Blue Cray(fish) Twins (talk) 10:50, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That's unfortunate, I'll try and see if I can fix some of the issues. I was just copy/pasting the citation formatting from other articles and replacing the info inside. I wasn't aware this was creating errors, as it doesn't display an error on the article itself (to my knowledge). Bloodshot20 (talk) 11:53, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, you're right. It doesn't display an error on the article itself, but they do go into the Maintenance category page

Hello again, @Bloodshot20:.
I've noticed you seem to have stopped editing, and I hope I am not the cause of that, after giving the above advice!!
You were doing really great work, building the encyclopedia. Indeed, your expansion of Anableps anableps probably qualifies for Good Article status. If I was you, I would nominate it!
Keep up the good work!
Big Blue Cray(fish) Twins (talk) 09:53, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oh wow thanks! I've just been busy with school recently so I haven't had much time to edit. I do appreciate the advice though, it's definitely a lot faster than manually adding all the conservation info haha. I'll look into the nomination if you think that's a good idea.

Class project question

Sorry to bother you about this, but it's nice to see a student editor remain active! I know last year you said were in a class that had a project related to fish articles on Wikipedia. Do you know if that class is running again this year? I've run into a similar influx of new editors working on fish articles, and this year they're uploading a bunch of copyright violations to Commons. Jay8g [V•T•E] 08:51, 17 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Jay8g That's unfortunate. At this point I have graduated, but I do know at least one person taking the class right now. As far as I understand, the class is not taught by the same professor consistently, so I'm not entirely sure what's going on (though I wouldn't be surprised if the same thing is happening again). I've asked my friend for more info, so I'll update you if I find out more. Bloodshot20 (talk) 00:40, 18 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
