Your first message on your Talk page

Hi William: I got your message fine. The only thing you forgot to do was sign it according to WP form, which means clicking on the signature button in the edit bar above, or typing for tildes in a row (the squiggly lines). That way your WP signature (which links to your talk page) is shown.--Greentina (talk) 03:29, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Right on William! You did get it right. And another little pointer: when you are continuing a conversation as I am here, you'll see that I have indented by using the colon symbol. One colon for indenting once, two for indenting twice, etc. etc. See you in class Thursday. --Greentina (talk) 23:42, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your first edit

Just checked: didn't know you were a Star Wars fan! I haven't thought about Boba Fett in a long, long time. --Greentina (talk) 04:22, 13 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

first entry!

Hello!

Just posted my first write up in my sandbox, can you see it? Also, to send everyone in our group a message on wiki should I do it through the columbia river page?

You seem to be the most wiki fluent in our group!

Here is what I wrote for our first entry... but I still cant figure out how to do in-text citations! --Cdmhume (talk) 23:56, 13 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Columbia River has the greatest annual drainage as compared to all other rivers along the Pacific coast (Parr, 108). Before the introduction of dams on the river, the changes in water level rose and fell predictably with the seasons and a nine meter displacement existed between the spring snowmelt highs and fall lows (Parr, 122-123). After the dams were built, however, the river changed unpredictably and in some areas the previous maximum and minimum water levels were altered by several tens of meters (Parr, 124). No longer linked to the seasons, water conditions became subject to United States power demands (Parr, 124). After the damming, the water during high floods began to cover much of the valley’s arable land - carrying with it fertile soil when the water retreated and leaving agricultural land useless (Parr, 104, 132)

From 1965 to 1969, 27, 312 acres were logged along the Columbia River to remove timber from the new flood plain (Stanely, 163). The slashing of vegetation along the shoreline weakened soil stability and made the land susceptible to wind erosion, creating sandstorms. Conversely, in wet periods, the cleared areas turned into vast mud flats (Parr, 126).
