Welcome!

Hello, Brookehinkle, 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.

Introduced species on islands

I moved your draft back to your sandbox. While I think it could make a valuable addition to Wikipedia, I don't think your draft is ready yet.

To begin with, it's much better to use inline sources in Wikipedia articles, because it makes the article easier to update and maintain. If you need a refresher on how to add citations, please consult this training module.

Another other issue is the lack of a lead section that summarizes all the major points of the article. Please have a look at pages 7-9 in the Editing Wikipedia brochure that I've linked here, for more help on article structure in general.

You don't have links to other Wikipedia articles, where readers can learn more about the topics you mention. Importantly, you should include links to the island biogeography and invasive species articles. You should also make sure that you aren't repeating information that should really be included in those articles. Wikipedia articles should be modular, and should link to other articles instead of repeating what's already covered in them. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:24, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

Concern regarding Draft:Island Biogeography Impacts on Species

Hello, Brookehinkle. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Island Biogeography Impacts on Species, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 03:47, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Island Biogeography Impacts on Species

Hello, Brookehinkle. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Island Biogeography Impacts on Species".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 20:54, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
