Welcome!
[edit]Hello, KaitieOBrien, 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 have returned your draft to your sandbox because it isn't ready to go "live" yet, for a number of reasons.
- Your article has no references. 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. Please read pages 7-9 of the "Editing Wikipedia" brochure that I have linked to, for more help on this. - You need to break your prose up more. A paragraph that's longer than 3-5 sentences gets harder to read the longer it it. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:37, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
