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:

Peer Review

Lead Section -The lead section does a great job summarizing the content of the article -In the Rules section, “professional” and “novice” are capitalized, in the Lead section, they are not. Might want to make this formatting consistent.

Rules Section -What are the 7 competition locations? Maybe you can list them in parenthesis?? -“Allowed methods” in the first paragraph is a little vague, can you clarify? -“Certain methods, such as firearms…” > “Certain methods, such as the use of firearms…” (The second phrasing sounds more natural to me, but I may be wrong).

History Section -Maybe talk a bit more about who funds/supports the competition. You mention it in the Lead section, but it could be interesting to expand a bit more on it. -Has there been a positive outcome from the competition (might be hard to find data, but would be cool to include if you can find anything). -Is there a reason why competitions aren’t run in certain years? Like is it based off of the python population in the area? -I like the tabnle a lot! WritingStudent1 (talk) 18:46, 2 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
