Hello, Geezy2, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian 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.

Feedback

@Geezy2, Finnhiatt, and Zexiading: Nice work creating your article draft. That said, there are some important issues that need to be resolved in the way that your draft is formatted. Wikipedia articles do not have the Introduction-Discussion-Conclusions format that lab reports and research papers often do. In fact, you aren't supposed to draw conclusions - you are simply supposed to report what sources say, without adding your own interpretation. There's also an issue when it comes to sourcing. Every statement in a Wikipedia article is supposed to be clearly tied to a supporting source. At the very least, you should have one source at the end of each paragraph, but only if that one source supports all the content in the paragraph. If not, additional sources are needed. However you do it, it should always be clear which statements are supported by which source.

You have a good start, but you should take a look at other articles - especially Featured articles or Good articles to see what Wikipedia articles should look like. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 23:39, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
