editHello, SunnyWooKim, 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.

Your contributed article, SunnyWooKim/Goddess
edit
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, SunnyWooKim/Goddess. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Goddess. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Goddess. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.
If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Onel5969 TT me 13:14, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
Your draft
editI returned your draft to your sandbox, but please don't move it back to mainspace again. When you moved it to mainspace you created a duplicate article, when you should have been improving the existing goddess article.
In addition, your draft had some problems. The goddess article is a general overview article; detailed information about specific goddesses, and specific religious systems go on their own pages, with links from the main page. For Athena, there's some brief information in the section Goddess#Greco-Roman, with more detail about the religious system at Ancient Greek religion and an article specifically about her located at Diana. For Shinto, there's a brief mention at Goddess#Shinto and a specific article about Amaterasu. In this case, it might be possible to add more information to the main goddess article, but you'd need to make sure it was properly sourced.
Your current reference formatting doesn't work, because the link is through your library's proxy server. So you'll need to select the "manual" tab on the cite tool and enter the reference that way.
Finally, your tone needs a bit of work. You should avoid saying that Zeus really did the things that are attributed here. As with any religious system, you should neither say that the beliefs are true or not true when writing in Wikipedia's voice. Instead, you should describe what the legends say happens, while attributing the reporting to your source. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:26, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
