Welcome

Hello, Tre Flagg 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! Thegooduser Life Begins With a Smile :) 🍁 02:39, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

Draft

Hi! I went to take a look at your draftwork, but I wasn't sure which part was the draft. I'm assuming that it's the part under "Wikipedia Write Up", so here are my notes on that section:

• With sourcing, avoid using Wikipedia as a source, as Wikipedia cannot source itself because anyone can edit it. As such, it's unable to meet the verification requirements needed for sourcing.
• The section looks to be written in the tone of a personal interpretation of the story. This needs to be avoided, as we can only summarize what authorities have stated about the story. An example of how a section on themes or interpretations should be written can be seen at the themes section for To Kill a Mockingbird. Now we can summarize the story without sourcing, however it should be a generally plain summary.

I hope this helps! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:05, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
