User talk:Bschutz11

Welcome!
Hello, Bschutz11, 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. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:19, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

Disambiguation
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions so far. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Please note that disambiguation pages like Gender quota are meant to help readers find a specific existing article quickly and easily. For that reason, they have guidelines that are different from articles. From the Disambiguation dos and don'ts you should:


 * Only list articles that readers might reasonably be looking for
 * Use short sentence fragment descriptions, with no punctuation at the end
 * Use exactly one navigable link ("blue link") in each entry that mentions the title being disambiguated
 * Only add a "red link" if used in existing articles, and include a "blue link" to an appropriate article
 * Do not pipe links (unless style requires it) – keep the full title of the article visible
 * Do not insert external links or references - Wikipedia is not a business directory

Normally, I would have reverted your edits, but it seems to me that Gender quota could be an article, in addition to being a disambiguation page. I have commented out your additions, to make the disambiguation part more readable, but tagged the article with a  tag, which places a 'needs an article' notice at the top of the page. In addition, I am adding a ping to who left the message above and can also assist you, probably better than I can. You are under no obligation to write an article about gender quotas - it is a huge and controversial subject - but if you are interested in the subject, you could begin by adding information to existing articles. Good luck and have fun! Leschnei (talk) 14:10, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

Drafting a new article
The process of creating a new article is similar to that of drafting a section in your sandbox. The biggest difference would be that you'd need to include a lead section that summarizes all the major points of the article. And once you're happy with the article you've created, follow the second set of steps in this training module.

Also have a look at pages 7-9 of the Editing Wikipedia brochure (linked here) for some more tips on layout. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:30, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
