Welcome!
Hello, Lopezj17, 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, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

Your draft
I moved your draft back to your sandbox because it isn't ready for mainspace yet. You should have a look at pages 7-9 of the "Editing Wikipedia" brochure (which I have linked) for a better understanding of what the layout of a Wikipedia article should be like.


 * A Wikipedia article is supposed to start with a lead section that summarizes all the major points of the article. It should generally open with something like Article title is... and go on to succinctly say what the topic is in the opening sentence. If someone reads the first sentence of this article, they don't get a take-away that's much help.

 * The lead of the article is supposed to summarize all the major points of the article, in proportion to the way that topic is covered in the article body.
 * Wikipedia articles aren't supposed to be self-referential, so don't say things like This article will.... Wikipedia articles are supposed to be written in an encyclopeadic style - almost always, if you find yourself using the first or second person, you're getting the tone wrong.
