For new Wikipedia editors, you want to make sure that three main things are satisfied:


 * Order/importance - Does it assert notability at the top in a strong and emphatic way, and does it avoid preening and PR speak? This should be a 10 second elevator pitch for why does this person matters and why should I care.
 * Look - Does it adhere to the Wikipedia manual of style – writing style, structure, wiki links, section headings, or other customs seen in typical biographies? Put your draft side by side with an article like Katie Couric and see if it is similar in look.
 * Sourcing - Does it have firm independent reliable sources to establish notability, back up statements of fact, or to demonstrate accomplishment in the field? We’re not talking about author bios or press releases. Find good reliable sources that cover the person’s accomplishments.
