Welcome!
Hello, Yikes99, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Elysia and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; 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. Elysia (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:32, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

Feedback on User:Yikes99/sandbox
Hi Yikes99, I have made some formatting changes to your sandbox. I think you should really trim down the "Publications" section. A Wikipedia biography is not a Research Gate profile or LinkedIn CV--it doesn't need to exhaustively cover everything an academic has ever written. I would narrow in on the most important publications. Which are the books? Which are the most cited? I would include no more than five total publications. Look, for example, at the very few academic publications listed on the article for Stephen Hawking, who is obviously very influential and popular. You'll also want to avoid euphemisms and figures of speech such as "work hard and play hard".

Other than that it looks pretty good, though. Once you've finalized your edits, please carefully follow these instructions for moving your work out of the sandbox. Thanks, Elysia (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:48, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
