Aggressionism

Hi Samirayasmeen.1. I'm glad that you're here to help expand and improve Wikipedia articles. Just a comment about article structure - questions like this one should not go in the article; you can use the talk page for things like that. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:38, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

Fish aggression

Hi there - I'm Kevin, the campus ambassador for the EEOB3310 Evolution you're currently taking. Thank you for creating fish aggression! It's a good start for a first article. I'd like to provide some tips on your article moving forward. Particular to the article's lead, it reads a lot like an essay, rather than an encyclopedia entry. As another editor above mentioned, subjective notes like "It would be interesting to know how aggression has evolved in fish over time" don't really belong in an encyclopedia, nor is the goal of an article to convince the reader of a particular view. Rather, the aim should be to provide objective information.

Regarding references, I've replaced the parenthetical references with the standard footnotes system. If you notice my changes, inserting the references throughout the article (instead of at the bottom) allows readers to see and click the superscripted bracketed number in order to be guided to the reference in question. If you need more guidance on this, feel free to ask - Help:Referencing for beginners and Help:Footnotes may also be helpful. Thanks! ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 17:31, 18 November 2014 (UTC)
