As you use this template, please erase ALL the original text--except for codes--that you find on the template because it is not part of your article. Do not erase code as the code saves you time in having to learn html coding, and it will format your article automatically. Please make sure you are building your article on your user page. DO NOT build your article on the live encyclopedia. Doing so may result in the erasure of your article, and it may be difficult or even impossible to retrieve. Once your professor has approved your article as written on the test page, you should then copy and paste it into the encyclopedia. The user page is a safe space in which you can create your article in peace, without being subject to a premature review.

This section of your article should be a summary and overview of the whole article. It should start with a sentence or two that answers the following questions: What is the topic of this article? What person or people are most relevant to this topic? Where is the topic located? What time period was your topic alive or relevant? What is the single most notable thing about your topic? What are the second and third most notable things about your topic? Example: "Gone Girl is a novel by American writer Gillian Flynn. It was published in 2012 and was on the New York Times bestseller list for twenty weeks." Notice that those two sentences tell you what it is--a novel, who is associated with it--the author Gillian Flynn, where it's located--America, and what its claim to fame is--20 weeks on NYT bestseller list. Generally, you will not need to have footnotes in this section. The assumption is that you cover all the information in more detail later in the article and that the footnotes will document the information there.

When deciding what sections to add in what order, please refer to a featured article in the same subject area as you are writing. For instance, if you are writing about a novel, the first section under the intro is always the plot summary.

Where do you need a citation? Wikipedia requires frequent citations. The rule of thumb is that every separate claim should be followed with a citation. Every paragraph following the introduction should have at least one citation, and in some cases, every sentence in a paragraph may need a citation. If you have written something potentially controversial, you may want to provide multiple citations for the same sentence. If in doubt, cite.

ERASE THIS TEXT AND PUT YOUR THIRD SUBHEAD HERE NOT USING ALL CAPS

Your article should have at least three subheads. If you do not need all the subheads on this template, please delete the ones you do not use before publishing your article on Wikipedia.
