Welcome!
Hello, Sundaynightdinner, 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) 19:27, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

Feedback
I moved your draft back to your sandbox because it isn't ready for mainspace yet.

For starters draft has no inline citations, which makes it difficult for readers to verify factual statements in your article. 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 also need citations to demonstrate that the subject of your article meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines. That means you need at least 2 or 3 reliable sources that are independent on the subject of the article (so someone's own webpage at their university is not an independent source). Having sources is especially important when writing about living people, given the possibility to do harm - in fact, policy is that unsourced biographies of living people should be deleted.

As far as their publications go, there's very little benefit to readers if you just list them like you did in the "Authored" section. The explanations in the "Co-authored" sections are more helpful - but remember, these need to be written entirely in your own words. In addition, your paragraphs should be shorter - 3-7 sentences is a good guideline, with shorter paragraphs better for online work. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:42, 13 December 2022 (UTC)


 * I moved the second draft you created here: User:Sundaynightdinner/Mara Viveros Vigoya. PERLA isn't an independent source. As for the Matthew Guttman source, the link you're using is through your university's proxy server, so the information is incomplete, and the link is not usable. If you click on the source in edit mode you should be able to edit the reference.
 * That said, you need more sources. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:46, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Looking at the Guttman book, it looks like Mara Viveros Vigoya is a contributor. So again, it's not an independent source. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:48, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
