Hello, Vpritchard, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; 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.

Welcome!

Greetings Vpritchard and welcome (again!) to both Wikipedia and to COM482! I think foxhound is a good choice for an article. Although I know it's a stub, the article is rather advanced compared to other stubs. As a result, you might need to dig a bit deeper to make significant improvements. I see you've started that and added a little text and references. Keep it up!

Look at the talk page of the article (Talk:Foxhound), at other dog related articles, and at WikiProjects (like Wikipedia:WikiProject Dogs) that will have links to excellent articles on similar topics (i.e., other dogs) which should point you at models and examples of how to improve the article. I'm looking forward to seeing things developed. Good luck! —mako 18:55, 19 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

Feedback on your draft

edit

Greetings Vpritchard! I've taken a look at your work on User:Vpritchard/Foxhound. Your changes are modest (a single reference a little text) but they all solid to me. I love the infobox! That's sort of an advanced technique! Please go ahead and move your changes to the live version of the article over at Foxhound.

If you want to keep improving the article—and I'd urge you to do so—I think that would be good and I trust you do it based on your experience so you don't need to check in with me. More prose, more facts, and more references would only help. Please go ahead and make these to the "live" version of the article after you move your improvements over. —mako 17:50, 4 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
