Welcome! edit

Hello, Bethakneedeep, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Elysia 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.

Answering help request edit

Hi, I saw your help request on my talk page about moving your work from the sandbox. We have a training here with step-by-step instructions for moving work out of the sandbox. An issue with your sandbox, though, is that you have the text formatted incorrectly. Everything in your sandbox is "section titles" and no actual "sections". That's why your table of contents looks odd. To fix this, highlight the paragraphs that are supposed to be sections, then click on the top dropdown where it says "heading" and select "paragraph".

From the training, you should not delete the existing article and put your edits into it instead (known as overwriting the page). Instead, you should edit the article and only move in/change the parts of the article that are different. Let me know if you have further questions.
