Mannas draft
I saw you asking on IRC channel #wikipedia-en-help about your sandbox.

Before you think about submitting this draft, it would be a good idea to format it more like a Wikipedia article with section headers marked off with equal signs (==). This allows the software to construct the table of contents for you automatically.

Also, you should know that an article of this kind requires inline citations for all of the biographical information. You have a few citations, but in much of the draft they are missing.

You currently have a lot of external links. Some editors place material here that they intend to turn into cited references as they work on the draft. That's certainly okay, but if you were intending to leave them as external links you should be aware that they would considered excessive.

Some of what you've written so far does not convey the neutral tone expected from an encyclopedia article. You should try to moderate your language to be more dry and factual. I realize that may go against your writing practice elsewhere, so you may need to ask for help.

That's probably enough for you to work on at the moment.  — jmcgnh (talk) (contribs) 02:27, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
