Welcome![edit]
Hello, Remy.2005, 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.

Your article[edit]
I moved your article back to your sandbox because it isn't ready for mainspace yet. I've liked to a couple resources that can help you improve some of these issues. Pages 7-9 in the Editing Wikipedia brochure has a lot of information about layout that's really helpful, while the Biographies handout includes the normal sections you'd expect in a biography
- A Wikipedia article should begin with a lead section that summarises all the major points of the article. As a terse summary, it should rarely include quotes.
- Wikipedia articles don't refer to people by their first names. Either use their full name, or just their surname.
- Quotes should be brief - generally 3-5 words, very rarely more than a full sentence. And they should be placed in context.
- You should rely more on reliable secondary sources. I'm not sure about the specifics of the periodicals you're using (I don't have access) but they seem like they're in-house periodicals, not journalistic sources that are going to do a lot of fact-checking and independent reporting. They're nice additional sources, but they aren't enough to establish notability.
