Advice

Hallo Hayley, Welcome to Wikipedia editing, but please have a look at existing articles and follow the standard way of writing for the encyclopedia - in particular notice how headings are made, rather than handcrafting your own version. There are lots of helpful links in the message above to get you started. I've suggested that your article should be merged into the general article on CVs because it doesn't seem a topic worth its own article, given that WP is not a "how to do it" guide. We'll see what anyone else thinks. Happy Editing: there's a lot to learn about editing Wikipedia but it's an interesting journey. PamD 11:04, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
