Welcome!
Hello, LtDan213, 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) 02:50, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

Instructor Feedback for Draft
Good start getting some of the basics of this concept and starting a new article. You will need to have a "lead" section that provides a definition and brief overview. This is the section that a reader could read and know the main point about what relational uncertainty is. Adding links to existing Wikipedia articles, such as "uncertainty reduction theory" can be helpful. You did this in one place but not in others. Maybe something to add in the history section would be why did there need to be another concept of relational uncertainty when uncertainty was a already a well-established area of study? Expanding on the married couples example could be helpful. If they are struggling with careers, how is that relational uncertainty? (I think it can be, but you need to describe it more). This section could also benefit from understanding how relational uncertainty is measured. How do we know if someone is feeling uncertain? The application section has several good example articles noted, but there needs to be some more depth in terms of explaining the findings and the practical implications. What can a Wikipedia reader learn from your summaries of these studies? Further explain and clarify the future research section. Also, it might be helpful to add a "critique" section as well. Overall, nice start, but there needs to be more depth throughout. Remember to use proper APA in-text citations (date after authors names and p. # after a quote).
