You're welcome, I hope the information proves useful.
It is a good start to an article. The more you do the better you get. Well done so far.
Some tips on your article:
- Spelling - Spelling is relatively easy to check by copying and pasting into Microsoft Word, or some other program with inbuilt spell checking.
- Grammar - grammar is more difficult to master, but Word helps you here too. Watch out for mixing your singular and plural (using it and them/they in the same paragraph when referring to the same object).
- Add Wikilinks where appropriate.
- Make the opening paragraqph as descriptive as possible. Assume that the reader has little or no knowledge of the subject. You never mentioned the word fish once in the opening paragraph, yet this would immediately assist the casual reader to identify what the article is about. The way it was, it seemed to be about a mollusc.
You identified some other ways to improve the article yourself, so I'll not repeat them. Regards LittleOldMe 15:16, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
