Welcome

Hello, Hdmiii and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are participating in a class project. If you haven't done so already, we encourage you to go through our training for students. Go through our online training for students

If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Please also read this helpful advice for students.

Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.

Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, and if your class doesn't already have one please tell your instructor about that. It is highly recommended that you place this text: {{Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and aid your communication with them.

We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished! Thegooduser Life Begins With a Smile :) 🍁 20:51, 17 February 2019 (UTC)

GA nominations

Hi! I wanted to give you a head's up about Good Article nominations. These tend to take a fairly long time, as there is typically a backlog for reviews, and the general expectation is that you will continue to monitor the review and remain active with it, even after the class has ended. Reviewers will be scrutinizing the article more closely than they would with other articles, as being a Good Article means that it's one of the best of the best on Wikipedia.

Here are the things that they will be looking for:

• It is reasonably well written.
  • a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
• It is factually accurate and verifiable.
  • a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism):
• It is broad in its coverage.
  • a (major aspects): b (focused):

It follows the neutral point of view policy.

• • Fair representation without bias:
• It is stable.
  • No edit wars, etc.:
• It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.

Offhand what they will be most checking for is that the sourcing explicitly states the claims made in the article and that everything is sourced. I can help you with the review once it comes, but I will warn you that it may be a couple of months. I can't do the review myself since I'm involved with the class, so it's a waiting game at this point. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:27, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
