Welcome!

Hello, Jocelyn Saravia, 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.

You can find answers to many student questions on our Q&A site, ask.wikiedu.org

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 14:11, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Response

Hi! To save your edits, just push the publish edits button - that will save your edits. It won't publish it to the main pages on Wikipedia. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:03, 5 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

And before you click the "Publish changes" button, it's always a good idea to check your work first to make sure what you publish, is what you meant to publish. You can check your work by clicking "Show Preview", and/or "Show Changes":

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

The Show Preview button shows you what the whole article (or section) will look like, if you publish the article. The Show Changes button shows just what you changed, in Wikipedia's special, Diff format. Adding Shalor (Wiki Ed). Hope this helps, Mathglot (talk) 20:08, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your user page is not your sandbox

Hi, Jocelyn,

Your user page is not the right place to develop an article, like the Kukuli Velarde article that is currently there. You have a sandbox for that: you can find it by clicking the blue 'Sandbox' link at the very top of every page on Wikipedia. The file location for your sandbox is here: User:Jocelyn_Saravia/sandbox. See Help:Sandbox for details and general info about sandboxes.

Your user page, on the other hand, can be used to give a brief amount of information about yourself. Most people choose not to give out too much information about themselves, especially information that could be used to track their identity, but you can talk about what your interests are, why you are, what areas you hope to contribute in, your school or college affiliation, interests or hobbies, things like that. Some people like to also post "User boxes", which are like little badges that tell something about them. See WP:USERBOX if you're interested in that topic.

If you would like me to move the content of your user page to your sandbox, let me know, or you can do it yourself. It's basically a cut-and-paste move, which is okay in this case, since both pages are entirely your own content. (Cut-and-paste moves are frowned upon in articles, so don't do that sort of thing there, i.e., don't copy text from one article to another, unless you know what you are doing. Ask for help, in a case like that. Here on your own pages, it's fine, though.) Adding Shalor (Wiki Ed). Hope this helps, Mathglot (talk) 00:59, 15 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Mathglot! The sandbox is the best place for this! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 14:43, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Notes

Hi! Here are some notes:

This is pretty good - my main note here would be to review this to make sure that all claims are sourced and attributed. This is especially important when it comes to interpretations of artwork or other things that can be seen as subjective to the reader.
The sourcing looks to be generally good, but source eleven didn't go through and only shows up as ' "Nexis Uni™ - Aanmelden | LexisNexis". signin.lexisnexis.com. Retrieved 2019-02-22.'. It needs to be fixed. Also make sure that all of the claims are sourced - there are some bits here and there that lack sourcing.

With the first note, I'll re-write one of the sections about the artwork to give an idea of what I'm getting at. What you have here is definitely good - at this stage it's mostly just formatting and tweaking. Most of this will just be attribution, honestly.
