Next steps after creating draft

Please help me with... I'm so sorry, I am sure I should be able to figure this out- but I've created a biography page for Kitty Black Perkins, an African American Barbie designer, and I am not sure what steps to take next. Do I continue to edit it? Do I ever submit it for review? THANKS.

You can submit your draft for a review by adding {{subst:submit}} to the very top, including the curly brackets. Before you do so, however, you may want to work on the references. Not all of those you currently cite are considered reliable by Wikipedia's standards, including Wikipedia itself. GoUpstate.com doesn't seem to mention Perkins at all; neither does MTV News. That leaves you with rather few reliable sources that discuss Perkins in any detail. On an unrelated note, you may want to add metadata to your references so they're not just bare URLs: Author, title, publication date, publisher, page number if applicable, ... See WP:Referencing for beginners on how to easily create nicely-formatted footnotes. Huon (talk) 15:25, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

Oh, thanks so much. Makes sense- so the links need to be about her, not for example, her school. I will add the metadata. Thank you so much for this help!
