Welcome!

Hello, Dredrun43!, 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.

You can find answers to many student questions in our FAQ.

Your draft

I moved your draft back to your sandbox. It's a nice start, but it isn't quite ready to go live yet. There are a few things you need to fix before moving it back.

• You need to add a lead section that summarizes all the major points of the article. Pages 7-9 in the Editing Wikipedia brochure (that I've linked here) have more information on how to craft a lead.
• You have 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.
