Hello, Mellonhe, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor 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. 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.

Feedback

Nice work on your article draft. A few improvements you still need

• The lead section needs to provide a summary of all the major points in the article. You need to start with a succinct statement of what the article topic is, something like "The Appalachian Land Ownership Survey was...", so that a reader can read the first sentence of the article and get a sense of what it's about.
• You need to add links to other Wikipedia articles. Topics and terms that are likely to be unfamiliar to the average reader should be linked the first time they appear in the article.
• References should be after punctuation, not before. In the "Economic growth" section, they are before the punctuation.
• Section headers use sentence capitalization, not title capitalization; only the first word of the title, and proper nouns, should be capitalized.
