As part of a Year 1 undergraduate course in IT Skills (GEM, France), I am working in a supervised student team on a digital publishing project, involving the creation of a new draft page. I am new to the Wikipedia platform and learning to edit following Wikipedia rules, with learning and assessment criteria including topic acceptability, content relevance, linking, style/grammar, sourcing, image use and copyright, use of draft Talk pages, and page formatting. I will have completed mandatory WikiEd Training for Students modules (evidenced with my exhibits on this user page) and have regular workshops during the project to address any draft editing issues. I am also supported with a course website, help resources, class lectures, a detailed project document and regular tutor feedback via draft Talk pages and team meetings.

I am open to any advice on improvements in my editing skills and draft page content, in conformity to Wikipedia requirements and guidelines, and any help useful for the enhancement of the draft page will be gladly accepted. There is a supporting Educational Course Page, with all the student usernames and draft project pages, at: https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/Grenoble_Ecole_de_Management/IT_Skills_Digital_Publishing_(Autumn_2025)

In 1869, the first Smilodon fatalis fossils, more commonly known as the saber-toothed cats, were found in North America. They were discovered in a Texan cave and were later named by Paleontologist Joseph Leidy. ^[1]
