Hello Bella, this is Waldon. So, first off, you don't have any in-text citations. The bots will tag your page as not having sources, even though you have them at the bottom because the bots look for in-text citations. Essentially, after each sentence you want to cite, you just throw in your citation and it will automatically group all citations at the bottom in the references section. If you want to reuse your citations, you can make a citation tag, and then reuse the tag later in your work. If you need help with this, I would be happy to. Also, since you posted it as your "user info" you need to actually transfer it to your sandbox first, then publish it. Once published, you go in and delete the userdata tags which are autogenerated. At the moment, your page essentially exists only as a blogpost, the rest of Wikipedia does not know it even exists. Looks really good though, just the whole mess of basically having to learn how to code a webpage using wikitext that DEFINITELY was not part of the class description.

More about citations

[edit]

So, in looking back at your citations, you seem to have the reftags down, but when you post it, the page will probably want you to pipe the citations and categorize them. I didn't find any citations on other websites that use comma notation, they all use wikitext (coding language that wikipedia uses, basically. it isn't really) basically, the citations would look something like : <ref> {{citation | author = Phil Gruen | title = Reading the american landscape | year = 2020 | publisher = Washington State University | access-date = 23 April 2020}} </ref> This is basically what you would put in the body of the page, where the citation is, and if you wanted to use the same source again, you would have to change the <ref> tag to something like <ref name = reading the american landscape> and then whenever you wanted to reuse that citation, you would just type <ref name = reading the american landscape/> and it would automatically connect the two citations in your citations section.

Albert W. Thompson Hall moved to draftspace

[edit]

An article you recently created, Albert W. Thompson Hall, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
