Welcome!

Hello, BrookBignell, 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.

You can find answers to many student questions on our Q&A site, ask.wikiedu.org

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 01:59, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

"Advanced"

On the hydrostatic skeleton page, you made several edits which refer to organisms as "advanced" and "primitve", which is incorrect, as it implies a scala naturae. Individual traits may be "primitive traits" (unmodified from the ancestral condition) or "derived traits" (modified from the ancestral condition, but the whole organism is a composite of traits and, by definition, every living organism has been evolving for exactly the same length of time. I realize this is a class project, so I figured I'd leave you a note here for you to fix it, rather than disrupt your edits. HCA (talk) 16:43, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
