Welcome!
Hello, Kkjohnson9567, 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) 04:00, 29 August 2023 (UTC)

Your article
I returned your article to your sandbox because it isn't ready for mainspace yet.


 * Your lead section needs to summarize the main points of the article. It should start with something like [Article title] is (or refers to)... and then go on to give a succinct explanation of what the topic is.
 * Your article needs to use a more formal and encyclopaedic tone. A Wikipedia article should never talk directly to the reader or refer to things like "the previous sentence". You should never include something like I also know from personal experience... - apart from the prohibition on original research in Wikipedia, there's also the fact that Wikipedia articles aren't the work of a single author. They're modified by many people over time.

I've linked the "Editing Wikipedia" brochure. Pages 7-9 in particular give a really good overview of what the layout of a Wikipedia article should be like. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:34, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
