Welcome!
[edit]Hello, Tuk82837, 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 draft
[edit]I returned your draft to your sandbox because it isn't ready to go "live" yet. The main problem is the lack of references, which 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.
A Wikipedia article is supposed to start with a lead section that summarizes all the major points of the article. It should generally open with something like Article title is...
and go on to succinctly say what the topic is in the opening sentence. If you do this, your article title might not be right for a Wikipedia article. Could you add a lead section that summarizes all the major points of the article (as outlined in pages 7-9 in the Editing Wikipedia brochure that I've linked here)? Thanks.

- Hi, Ian! Thank you for your feedback. How can I move both my bibliography page and my sandbox article into public domain and on the same page? And yes, I can add a lead section. I can always add more to my article after I move it out of the sandbox right? Let me know! Erin. Tuk82837 (talk) 20:57, 16 October 2022 (UTC)
Your draft
[edit]Hello, Tuk82837,
Please keep your school draft in your own User space or in Draft space. If you try to move it to main space, it is likely to be deleted. Just wanted to let you know before you tried this again. Liz Read! Talk! 08:25, 19 November 2022 (UTC)
