Hello, Jrobertphilosophyremarks 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! SPF121188 (talk this way) (contribs) 17:50, 30 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Moved article to sandbox

edit

I noticed you moved your wiki contribution to mainspace, and created a live article on Wikipedia. At this time, the article needs a lot more work and is not ready for mainspace. I moved the article back to your sandbox at User:Jrobertphilosophyremarks/Uncle Sam Kicks Out Chinaman sandbox. Missing References: Don't forget that everything you add to Wikipedia need to be supported by references to reliable sources. Please review the Sources and Citations training if you need a refresher on how to add sources. They are a must when writing a Wikipedia article.  Inline Citations: You have no in line citations to support your content. Keep in mind 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 the training module i referenced above.  Lead Section: Your contribution is missing a lead section. When you create a Wikipedia article, the lead is the first section. It’s the part of aWikipedia article that most people read. A good lead summarizes the entire article by briefly covering all important aspectsof the topic. Check out how Editing Wikipedia for tips on writing a good lead section.  Copyediting: There's punctuation missing, letters in need of capitalization, etc. It's important to look over your work and fix these errors before the article is in the mainspace. This is a really interesting topic you've chosen. If you implement the feedback above, it'll be closer to being ready for mainspace. If you have any questions feel free to reach out.Brianda (Wiki Ed) (talk) 02:08, 29 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

Your article still needs more inline references. Every statement should be followed by a supporting citation so readers can verify the statements made in the article. 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.

I have sent you a note about a page you started

Hello, Jrobertphilosophyremarks. Thank you for your work on Uncle Sam Kicks Out Chinaman. User:Scope creep, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:

I like this article. I added a commons cat so it links to your commons category at Shober, instead of the illegal link in the lede.

To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Scope creep}}. Please remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. (Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)
