Wikilinks vs references
As you prepare your draft article, please keep in mind the difference between a reference and a Wikilink. Wikilinks link to other Wikipedia pages in order to help explain the concepts in your article. References link to external sources (books, articles, etc) that can serve to verify the article's content. Wikilinks are made using the following syntax:

It produces this:
 * This is a Wikilink to the page on "Labor": labor.

You already know the syntax for creating a reference; you've used it extensively in your draft. But, rather than using Wikipedia articles as references (which is not allowed; see WP:CIRCULAR), you should link to external sources such as newpaper articles, journal articles, TV news reports, books, etc. that you used when researching your article.
