Things we shall (try to) do
[edit]- Anatomy of a page. Use Aporometra wilsoni
- Create some internal links: Aporometra wilsoni
- pinnule? pinnule or pinnule?
- Elizabeth Reef, Perth, Western Australia. Can we use Cottesloe Reef? or PerthScuba: diving at Elizabeth Reef? or Cottesloe Reef Protection Area?
- Do we really want to keep the current link to Doliolaria? We could try wiktionary again.
- Can we link to Bell, the species author? (Use the reference given, and then perhaps Wikidata for the search on the name?)
- External links: these are placed at the bottom of an article and are usually intended to help the reader extend his/her knowledge of the subject... (I often use them as an aide-memoire for extending an article, in that they can readily be made into references.)
- You can see how one way of making them in Beekeeping in Australia.
- And another, when we add some external links for Aporometra wilsoni using google scholar & searching for Aporometra...
- Create a reference:
- Note that the reference for the species author in Aporometra wilsoni also gives a link to the original description. We should put that in as an article reference, together with the link to the original publication.
- We could correct the text of Helen de Guerry Simpson using http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/simpson-helen-de-guerry-8433 and reference our new text. We need to paraphrase/condense/change the paragraph below...
Arriving in England in April 1914, Helen joined her mother. She went to Oxford in September 1915, joining the Society of Oxford Home Students (later St Anne's College), and read French at the university (1916-17). In April 1918 she joined the Women's Royal Naval Service as a chief section officer of decoding at the Admiralty. She returned to Oxford in September 1919 to study music, intending to become a composer, and matriculated on 13 October 1920. At Oxford she became very interested in the theatre, publishing several short plays and founding the Oxford Women's Dramatic Society. Reputedly breaking strict regulations prohibiting male and female students from acting together, she was sent down without completing her degree in 1921.
