[edit]Hello, Rfsaoud, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; 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 article
[edit]Hi. I moved your article back to your sandbox, because it isn't ready for mainspace yet. All Wikipedia articles need to be supported by independent, reliable sources. This is especially important for articles about living people, which are held to a higher standard than other articles.
At present, your only inline source is doris_saba.pdf (activearabvoices.org), but you haven't included enough information there to know what this file is. Searching activearabvoices.org for doris_saba.pdf produces no hits, and http://www.activearabvoices.org/doris_saba.pdf doesn't exist.
The other sources you list in your bibliography are also just links to entire websites, not specific pages. And it's unclear to me what makes these reliable sources (especially since I can't tell what statements they're used to support).
Overall, the fact that you have very few inline citations makes it difficult for readers to verify factual statements in your article. Every statement should be followed by a supporting citation; if a group of sentences are all supported by the same source, you can place a single reference after all of them, but you need to have at least one reference per paragraph, and you shouldn't have any statements after the final reference in a paragraph. If you need a refresher on how to add citations, please consult this training module. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 14:01, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
