Welcome!

Hello, Victoradejumo, 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 article

I moved your draft back to your sandbox. Instead of creating a duplicate article, you need to make improvements to the existing United States Marine Forces Special Operations Command article. Please review this training module if you need a refresher on how to do this.

In addition, your draft is not suitable for Wikipedia in its current form. It needs a lead section that summarizes all the major points of an article, and various sections in the body of the article. I recommend that you look over pages 7-9 in the Editing Wikipedia brochure that I have linked.

Your tone isn't appropriate for an encyclopaedia article. You need to adopt a neutral tone that simply describes what reliable sources say about the subject. You also need to be precise in your language. Explain terms that won't be familiar to the average reader. Specify that you are talking about the United States marines, and not some other country's marines. Things like that are important, because readers come from all over the world, and my not be familiar with the US at all.

You also have no inline citations, which makes it difficult for readers to verify factual statements in your article. Every statement should be followed by a supporting citation; if a group of sentences are all supported by the same source, you can place a single reference after all of them, but you need to have at least one reference per paragraph, and you shouldn't have any statements after the final reference in a paragraph. If you need a refresher on how to add citations, please consult this training module. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 14:43, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
