Welcome
Hello, Jbeckerman and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are participating in a class project. If you haven't done so already, we encourage you to go through our training for students.

If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Please also read this helpful advice for students.

Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.

Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, and if your class doesn't already have one please tell your instructor about that. It is highly recommended that you place this text:  on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and aid your communication with them.

We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished! SPF121188 (talk this way) (my edits) 17:11, 10 November 2022 (UTC)

Welcome!
Hello, Jbeckerman, 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) 18:29, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

Gender expression
In rewriting this article (which you should not do without discussion, no matter what your teacher asks), you have left it with an unencyclopedic tone. Particularly, the overuse of "scholars say" and similar is unnecessary; as all information is sourced, accepted facts and views do not need wordy, essay-like, introductions and discussions. (If the information is a view from one or few scholars, they should be named and the significance established.) Please improve the tone of the article or self-revert.
