Advice on Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Immigration Act of 1891 (and tell your co-students)
Hello, it appears some class has assigned folks to turn their essays into articles. While this can work, you have to meet us halfway on this. You can't just copy-paste an MS Word document into Wikipedia and get a good layout. I have fixed some of your layout issues (section headings, bulleting, etc), so please bear those in mind. Also, your article has no WP:wikilinks at all, the blue links which are vital to WP structure. Please briefly read the wikilinks guideline and then add some to your article.

Also, if you are able to WP:Footnote some of your paper, that would make it far stronger, rather than just listing the sources at the bottom, particularly on the direct quotations so a reader can see where you pulled it from.

Also, WP differs from essay writing in that we don't analyse things ourselves, so there should be "And therefore we can see...", "For instance...". Also WP articles have no conclusion, so there is no "in conclusion...". In fact, the absolute most important takeaways of the article should all be in the introduction in encyclopedic format.

These are just a few suggestions, and I would strongly encourage you to pass this info along to your friends so they can have their articles as ready as possible for review and minimise delays and extra drafts. MatthewVanitas (talk) 18:53, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
