Welcome
Hello, Meganboddy 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) (contribs) 19:09, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

Blue
Thanks for creating an article about Blue. I moved it back to your sandbox, because it wasn't ready for mainspace.

For starters, articles about fictional characters need to be clearly written about a fictional character. Have a look at the Owen Grady or Claire Dearing. You can see more articles about cast members at Jurassic_World and List of Jurassic Park characters. Getting the tone right is very important. Phrases like "way more fearful" and "and have to make sure everything is perfect" don't fit in formal writing like this.

In addition, if you write about characters, you need to rely on high quality reliable sources. I'm not sure if sources like Collider (website) and Screen Rant are strong enough sources to demonstrate notability, while Jurassic Park Wiki is a user-generated site, and not appropriate as a source for Wikipedia. Look for higher-quality sources if you want to demonstrate that Blue is notable. You might want to talk to your librarian about finding better sources.
