Hello, Cstevens2, 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.

Please keep in mind that your WP:AUDIENCE is likely laypersons. Also, please use "Sentence case" for section headings, not "Title Case". i.e. Anatomy and morphology and not Anatomy and Morphology See MOS:HEADINGS Thank you Jim1138 ( talk) 08:20, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for your efforts here. I have undone part of what you did as it broke several small structures: for instance, we try to begin with the actual title of the article. Also, we don't normally cite in the lead when (as it should) it summarizes what is already explained and cited in the body of the article. Perhaps, too, when something is a "Good Article", or as here indeed a "Featured Article", you could take into account that other reviewers have already carefully and thoroughly checked the text. Of course, if you still find something that can be improved, go to it. All the best, Chiswick Chap ( talk) 09:17, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
