If you need help, check out Wikipedia's page for questions. You can also ask me by visiting my user talk page and leaving a message, or you can ask your question on this page by editing it and placing {{Help me}} before your question. Please make sure that you sign your messages on discussion pages, which is done by entering four tildes (~~~~) at the very end of it; this will automatically insert your username and the date. I also highly recommend that you review the advice for students page.

Before you create an article, make sure that 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 creating one. 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 that the article is a subject of an educational assignment as well as aid your communication with them.

Here are some more pages that you might find helpful:

Airbnb & Sustainability moved to draftspace

edit

Thanks for your contributions to Airbnb & Sustainability. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it is a poor translation. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. 14 novembre (talk) 🇮🇹 19:55, 31 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

 
There are several issues with your draft that lead me to wonder if it should be a stand-alone article at all.
  1. There are general issues with the layout of the article in terms of its sections and the like. Wikipedia articles don't have Introduction sections, and they don't cover general background like the "sustainability in the sharing economy" section. That kind of information probably belongs in the Sharing economy article, which you would normally link to from another article where it mostly serves as background.
  2. A Wikipedia article is supposed to start with a lead section that summarizes all the major points of the article. It should generally open with something like Article title is... and go on to succinctly say what the topic is in the opening sentence. If you are unable do this, your article title might not be right for a Wikipedia article. Instead, you should consider expanding the AirBnB and sharing economy articles.
I've linked to the Editing Wikipedia brochure. I think it would be helpful to have a look at it, especially pages 7-9. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:51, 23 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Ian,
Thank you for the feedback. Is there anyway you may provide extra or specific recommendations. I am a student and am having trouble with revising the contribution to appeal to Wiki standards. I have fixed the intro, but other than that, I am not sure what else I can specifically do. NorthShoreLife (talk) 23:52, 23 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
I arrived here after reading the Airbnb history. Your draft looks like it could be split and placed in two articles. The parts that are just about Airbnb can go in that article. The parts that refer to digital sharing economy companies in general could be added to the sharing economy article. For example, take a look at Sharing_economy#Environmental_benefits. You might be able to integrate some of your info from Draft:NorthShoreLife_Sandbox_Airbnb#Sustainability_in_the_Sharing_Economy into that section. Mike Gauya (talk) 00:04, 26 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm Jay8g. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Airbnb have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. :Jay8g [VTE] 02:03, 4 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
