Welcome!
Hello, Lrcarlton, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor 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. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 13:22, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

Instructor Feedback for Wiki Draft
Lead: I think it would be good to distinguish between Anxiety/Uncertainty Management Theory (Gudykunst) and Uncertainty Management Theory (Brashers). Both titles are used in the first sentence and it could be confusing for readers. Also, are you planning to implement changes to the existing Wikipedia article anxiety/uncertainty management or were you planning to create a new page?

•••I created a new page. I did not want to edit an existing page and I felt that the information on that page was very thorough and did not provide me with the option of adding meaningful information Lrcarlton (talk) 04:18, 9 July 2018 (UTC)

The lead section should have a sentence or two describing the basic concept or claim of the theory. Background: What was the reason to expand Berger’s uncertainty reduction theory? Describe what was lacking in URT and what created the impetus for the development of AUM. Content section: The first paragraph does a nice job of explaining some of the basics of the theory. The second paragraph could benefit from some citations.

I don’t think you need to list all of the axioms. However, I think you should choose a few that you think are important and provide examples of them.

The graphic is a nice addition. Did you include the source for this graphic?

The article could benefit from an applications section. What are a few examples of research studies that have used AUM? It can also be descriptions of how AUM can be used practically.

The critique section has some good insights, but could use more depth in explaining these critiques.

It might be helpful to review the training about how to use the citation tools for making Wiki footnotes and creating a references section.

Overall a good start, but most sections will need some expansion. Jrpederson (talk) 18:32, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi! I wanted to echo what your instructor stated - there's no need to list all of them. I would just list a few, maybe the ones that are the most frequently discussed in the source material? As far as the source for the graphic goes, there's no real need to include the source in the article - readers can click on the image and be taken to the image's page on Commons, which lists this information. This definitely was a good touch to add to the article, so well done! Other than this, make sure that you attribute any unsourced claims in the article so they're not mistaken for original research (ie, claims or research you came up with on your own as opposed to summarizing content in sourcing). You have a good start here to work from! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:47, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
