Welcome!
Hello, Geoproject, 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. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 07:34, 26 October 2016 (UTC)

A page you started (Helen L. Cannon) has been reviewed!
Thanks for creating Helen L. Cannon, Geoproject!

Wikipedia editor Animalparty just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

"please finish at least a short, complete biography. Avoid WP:PEACOCK phrases like 'outstanding woman' that promote a subject without offering concrete facts."

To reply, leave a comment on Animalparty's talk page.

 * I've moved the article to Draft:Helen L. Cannon for you to work on. In addition to the points raised by Animalparty I'd like to point out the following areas which need improvement:
 * The lede stops mid-sentence, like you'd suddenly lost interest.
 * There are empty sections. If there's nothing to say on that point, why point out that there's nothing to say?
 * "She past away..." -> "She passed away...", but it's better still to avoid euphemisms.
 * "Helen has received numerous awards and honors in her lifetime" - if you can't name any then don't mention it. As an encyclopedia entry we should aim to provide information, not vague unsubstantiated claims.
 * "an all men's science group" - which group?
 * The sources provided are mostly by Cannon, not about her. If you're going to show notability you need to show that her work has been noted and built upon.
 * It's customary to refer to the subject by their surname, not their first name. WP:MOS has guidance.
 * Hope that helps, Cabayi (talk) 12:49, 3 November 2016 (UTC)
