Feedback
[edit]
Nice work on your article draft. A few improvements you still need
- The lead section needs to provide a summary of all the major points in the article. You need to start with a succinct statement of what the article topic is, something like "The Appalachian Land Ownership Survey was...", so that a reader can read the first sentence of the article and get a sense of what it's about.
- You need to add links to other Wikipedia articles. Topics and terms that are likely to be unfamiliar to the average reader should be linked the first time they appear in the article.
- References should be after punctuation, not before. In the "Economic growth" section, they are before the punctuation.
- Section headers use sentence capitalization, not title capitalization; only the first word of the title, and proper nouns, should be capitalized.
