Welcome
[edit]Hello, Jerahr 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.
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! SPF121188 (talk this way) (contribs) 22:11, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

Issue Ownership moved to draftspace
[edit]An article you recently created, Issue Ownership, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Also, while there is a list of references, there are no footnotes. Please see WP:CIT on how to format citations, and what information needs to be included. Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

- As far as citations go, I see you have some at the end of your draft, but you have no inline citations. 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.
- There are also some issues with the overall organisation of the article. 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. - The remainder of the lead needs to summarize all the major points of the article, in proportion to the way they're covered in the body of the article. Nothing should be in the lead that's not discussed in more depth in the article body.
- I've lined to the Editing Wikipedia brochure. You should have a look at pages 7-9 for some more information on general article layout. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:26, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
Concern regarding Draft:Issue Ownership
[edit]
Hello, Jerahr. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Issue Ownership, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.
If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.
Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 16:05, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
