Welcome
[edit]Hello, Kensey Smith and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are participating in a class project. If you haven't done so already, we encourage you to go through our training for students.
If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Please also read this helpful advice for students.
Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.
Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, and if your class doesn't already have one please tell your instructor about that. It is highly recommended that you place this text: {{Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and aid your communication with them.
We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished! ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 07:44, 3 November 2022 (UTC)

Max Wachtel article
[edit]Nice start on your Max Wachtel article. I moved it back to your sandbox because it doesn't have any reliable sources about Wachtel. You need several (at least 2 or 3) sources that are independent of Wachtel to establish notability. Three of the sources you used are from Wachtel's own website, which isn't an independent source and isn't produced by a scholarly publisher or a journalistic source. Similarly the Friesen Press source is written partly by Wachtel, and partly by his publisher (so not just not independent, but actually a source that has an interest in promoting Wachtel). Only the APA site is independent. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 14:03, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
- Hi, I was wondering if the Sheridan press website is considered a journalistic source: https://www.thesheridanpress.com/news/local/sheridan-native-behavioral-profiler-to-appear-on-tv-show-hunted/article_2616257a-251e-55f9-a86b-05038d8a1208.html Kensey Smith (talk) 15:13, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
