Welcome!
Hello, Sarahtucker511, 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) 14:49, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

Your draft
Hi and. I have moved your draft back to your sandbox because is isn't ready for mainspace yet.


 * Your article doesn't have enough inline references. Every statement should be followed by a supporting citation; if a group of sentences are all supported by the same source, you can place a single reference after all of them, but you need to have at least one reference per paragraph, and you shouldn't have any statements after the final reference in a paragraph. If you need a refresher on how to add citations, please consult this training module.
 * You need a lead section that summarizes all the major points of the article as outlined in pages 7-9 in the Editing Wikipedia brochure that I've linked here. Right now, what you have is a general introduction to the topic, not a succinct summary of its main points.
 * Because Wikipedia articles aren't dated, and may or may not be regularly updated, so you can't write things like In recent years, allergies have become much more common. Even if there wasn't a concern about articles falling out of date, "in recent years" is too vague a statement for a Wikipedia article. What a reader considers "recent" is very much a function of their age. In addition, the source you're using is from 2017, so what they consider to be "recent" may not be recent any more.
 * Wikipedia articles are supposed to be modular - information used in many articles should appear in detail in one article, and be linked to from others. So your sections on allergies and epigenetics should just link to the allergy and epigenetics articles, and only focus on what's relevant to the intersection of the two topics.
