Welcome!
[edit]Hello, Bernice Matos, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor 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.

Notes
[edit]Hi! I wanted to give you some notes on your draft:
- Since your topic will brush against the topic areas of health and medicine, I would like for you to review the training module on editing in this area.
- Make sure that you are only summarizing claims and content in the sources as opposed to synthesizing new material. For example, a source describes something that sounds an awful lot like a cat without actually calling it as such. It would be original research for us to say that it was a cat. I'm concerned that there may be some original research in the article. If you're quoting stuff from the source, it's always good to attribute claims to the specific person or outlet making them along the lines of "According to...".
- The article lacks a lead akin to the one in the water scarcity article. The lead doesn't have to be as lengthy of course, but it should be styled along the same lines as the first few opening sentences. For an example of a shorter lead, examine the lead in Supply and demand.
I hope this helps! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 14:24, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
- Hi! I think that it may be a good idea to blend your work into the existing article on water scarcity, as that article already takes a global look at the topic. What you may want to specifically look at is expanding the section on global experiences in managing water crisis, at least as far as making large additions or expansions go, as that section is marked as needing work.
