Welcome!
[edit]Hello, Alisondoepker, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; 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.

Your draft
[edit]I moved your article back to your sandbox, because it isn't ready for mainspace yet.
Wikipedia articles need to be based on reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article. Currently, your sources include his page at the University of Georgia (which is not independent), an interview (which is not independent, since it's a person talking about themselves), a promotional bio from an LSA institute (probably something they wrote themselves, or something a close associate wrote), and a blurb from "World of Books", which is a bookseller. The last source, from the Linguistic Atlas Project, isn't about him.
You need to find independent sources. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:48, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
