Hello, AMM1989, 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.

Notes

Hi, here are my notes:

  • With header titles, avoid using questions as titles since those don't fit Wikipedia's style guidelines and can come across as an essay title. Instead, use something like "2016 - current". With section headers, also keep in mind that if the prior section is titled 2006-2010, the next section should cover the years 2011 - 2015, instead of 2010-2015. Since the 2010 - 2015 section only really deals with things that came up in 2010, I'd merge this material into the prior section. Don't worry about making sure that there's a 2011 - 2015 section - if there is no coverage during this time, then there's not much that can be done and it makes sense to jump forward a little in time. Although if you're concerned, you can retitle the section 2011 - current.
  • Make sure that content you're adding isn't already covered elsewhere in the article. For example, make sure that some of the more recent material isn't already covered under the 2006–2010, if some of the material is meant to be a followup to points raised years earlier.
  • With sourcing, make sure that you're not relying too much on a single outlet, such as DC Water, as this doesn't really show a good depth of coverage and will really only back up the claims or response by DC Water.

I hope this helps! --Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:05, 27 November 2018 (UTC)Reply
