Hello, RJ Zhang, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian 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.

Feedback request

Hi RJ Zhang. I saw your request for feedback, and noticed that you moved your sandbox into mainspace. I undid the move because, while it's a good start, it isn't ready for mainspace yet. I'll provide a few details in a moment. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:25, 12 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

  • For starters, article titles aren't capitalized (beyond the first word) - the when the article is moved to mainspace it should be at Metal salen complexes in catalysis not "Metal Salen Complexes in Catalysis"
    • I really think you should be expanding the metal salen complexes article instead of creating a new article on their use in catalysis. This is a very specific sub-area, and it seems like you would be much better served expanding that article (which really isn't overly long). You should work on integrating your additions into that article, and then expand the lead section so that it reflects the overall contents of the article.
  • If you do create a stand-alone article (which, again, I don't think is a good idea in this case) you need to start with a short statement of what "metal salen complexes in catalysis" is. A succinct statement, one or two sentences long, that tells the reader what the article is about. This is important because if readers can't figure out what the article is about in the first sentence, they are very unlikely to read any further than that.
