Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Welcome!

Hello, JohnSam07, 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

Hi! I have some notes on your draft. Overall this is very good - it just needs some fine tuning.

Avoid persuasive/leading terms like "perhaps", as they come across as original research - even if you're summarizing the content that's in the sources. (On a side note, we can only summarize what's already stated in the sourcing rather than create new conclusions based on the material, as in an academic paper.)

I would also avoid words like "notable" since those can be subjective to the reader - someone may have a differing opinion on this. Since the section header is already titled provisions, the notable is unnecessary. Also, them being listed kind of gives off the impression that these are major and important.

Make sure that all quotes are sourced - the quote "facing sudden and severe economic dislocations" isn't sourced.

Finally, continue to find sourcing for the article - definitely check your school's academic database to see what they have. It would be a good idea to have a section on academic and scholarly opinions on the act.

That said, this is really well done - keep up the good work! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:01, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
