Welcome!

Hello, Jsylor373, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Adam 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.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Wisconsin German (April 15)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Tvx1 was:

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a dictionary. We cannot accept articles that are little more than definitions of words or abbreviations as entries. A good article should begin with a good definition, but expand on the subject. Please try creating an article at Wiktionary instead.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Nothing more than a dictionary definition of Wisconsin English. Barely any content. Not even a remote claim of significance. Not convinced an article on this subject is justified.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Wisconsin German and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

working live

Hi, Jsylor373. Your article on Wisconsin German is live on the encyclopedia. I see you're working on some of the things which were edited down in your sandbox. You can do that; the sandbox can be a good place to experiment with formatting and so forth. But you'll want to get used to making improvements to your existing article on the article itself, incrementally. Try adding a few sentences or sources here and there as you go and building sections out slowly. I think you'll get used to it and find out why many wikipedia editors work that way.

citing a source

There are two chapters from a book, written by two different authors I would like to cite. However the Citation manager combines the two separate chapters into 1 source. I would like to figure out how to attribute citations to each author, so that each author may receive credit for material I used. Do you have any suggestions for how I can do this? Jsylor373 (talk)
