Feedback
Hey! Some comments on the sandbox (mostly repeated from class):
 * Nice variety of sources and viewpoints
 * Consider improving the organization - add in an introduction that summarizes the content of the article (WP:LEAD), check out WP:LAYOUT and linked pages for ideas, or look at similar articles for how they're typically structured.
 * You've got some pretty long lists of publications - consider formatting those either as columns or tables, and add a sentence or two explaining what they are and where you got this list from
 * Some formatting glitches in references (compare current footnotes 1 and 2, for example), and try implementing WP:NAMEDREFS
 * Once you've made the changes, here's how you move to mainspace:
 * Format the article as if it were in mainspace - remove the sandbox template, bold the article title in the first sentence of your introduction, use header formatting instead of bolding for sections, etc. Save the page.
 * Click the drop-down arrow at the top of the page, in the same row as the Edit button, and select "Move"
 * Change the drop-down menu to "(Article)", replace your sandbox name with a descriptive title (see WP:Article titles for help), type "mainspacing" or similar in the Reason box, and hit Move
 * Add links to your article from relevant pages like Media in Canada. You can also add categories (WP:CAT), and there's a template on the course page that you might add above this post.
