Hello, SeeleMeer 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. Go through our online 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! Peaceray (talk) 20:32, 22 February 2018 (UTC)

Choosing Articles to Work on

• "The Kiss" by Gustav Klimt

Good find! You can tell from the first sentence that this isn't written in wikipedia style and that the organization is not useful. I'm going to go ahead and assign this to youEtherfire (talk) 20:08, 22 February 2018 (UTC)

• The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo

This one needs some work on content, so you might want to avoid. Etherfire (talk) 20:08, 22 February 2018 (UTC)

• The A21 Campaign

Interesting find. Although this has recently been worked on by a seasoned editor @Peaceray: (FYI, I've pinged this user in case they are still floating around and would care to comment), it seems to me to not be written from NPOV. So I think that this is a good choice Etherfire (talk) 20:08, 22 February 2018 (UTC)

Yes, this article needs work to make it more neutral. I consider my self something of a WikiGnome, so even though I will do a lot of work to bring a consistency of style & citations, I generally do not address everything that needs improvement unless I am specifically enthused about an article. I would suggest also looking at some criteria for a "B" class article versus a "C" class article, as The A21 Campaign is currently ranked. You can read he assessment criteria for articles on organizations here: Wikipedia:WikiProject Organizations/Assessment#Quality scale. Peaceray (talk) 20:29, 22 February 2018 (UTC)

Oh, I should also mention one reason why I chose to primarily work with just style & citations for this article. I have a potential conflict of interest (COI) in that the brother & sister-in-law of a good friend work for the organization. I have not self-declared this potential COI with a {{UserboxCOI}} template because I was primarily editing style & not the content, but if I had done some serious copy-editing, I probably would have.
