Feedback on your article

Hello LindaV123, Thank you for writing your article in your sandbox! I have read the article and would like to give some feedback to improve your article to Wikipedia standards and customs. While your tutor will judge it content wise, I will look if it meets the quality standards we have on Wikipedia. I standard look for a series of subjects that need improvement or are okay.

Intro sentence: The introduction sentence of an article needs to make clear what the subject is about. I can't read this in your first sentence, to me it just contains words that do not say what it is about. Please re-write.
Links: sufficient.
Headers: The first character of a title can be capitalised, other words not!
References: Please add references without a space before the reference, but directly after the dot. Please add under the header "References" the following: {{Reflist}}
Other: We only make the subject in the first sentence bold. Other parts of an article we usually do not make bold. Please avoid abbreviations (like "e.g."), people that do not speak English as native language often find it difficult to understand them.
Ready to publish: because your article is about datafication, and the article Datafication already exists in Wikipedia, your article can't be published as we only have one article for a single subject. But I would recommend you to look for parts of your article that you can add to the existing article, certainly as your article is much longer than the existing one. But I think the existing intro sentence is better! This merging I think can be done near the end of coming session.

I hope you can implement this feedback to your sandbox article before our next meeting. Thanks! Romaine (talk) 16:06, 28 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
