Welcome!
[edit]Hello, Kristen RL, 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.

Welcome!
[edit]Greetings Kristen RL and welcome (again!) to both Wikipedia and to COM482! First of all, wonderful topic. I had never even heard of Obligatory Dangerousness Criterion and this might be the only class article that falls in that category. Second, you've already added just tons to the article so that's really wonderful, great work. Looks like you're doing a great job with reference as well.
The only thing that is worth mentioning is that contributing to health related topics in Wikipedia can be challenging and there extra things to keep in mind. Basically, you need to realize tat many peopl refer to Wikipedia for health advice and the stakes are higher. I know that is article is somewhere between health and law but it's still worth looking at Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine and the resources they've put together then. You should also look at the editing medical topics WikiEd material. I'd actually do that first.
In any case, I'm excited about this project and the enormous project you've already made. I'm looking forward to seeing this developed! —mako๛ 18:04, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
Feedback on your article
[edit]Greetings Kristen RL! I'm sorry you didn't get feedback on User:Kristen RL/Obligatory Dangerousness Criterion from any of your classmates. We talked on Thursday during office hours but the short version is that I'm pretty impressed with this article. I've read it through quickly and I think you can start moving over text to the new article. Great work!
I had two pieces of feedback before you start doing that. You might want to try to make these changes before you move it over but you could move it over from your sandbox and then start making those changes in the live version.
The first is a stylistic thing about the way you reference to the OCD throughout the text. I think OCD is not really a proper noun so it shouldn't be capitalized. You can check the WP Manual of Style which should have some better idea. I think that you might want to either abbreviated it (as I'm doing here) or just replace it with references to "the criterion."
The second thing is about the many repeated references to the SAMHSA PDF where you cite it repeatedly. It shows up repeatedly in the references but I'll be there is a way to do the citations so that it just shows up once per page or so that you can refer it with a different page. I honestly have no idea but maybe you can leave a message on the talk page for the OCD article when you move it back asking for help if you can't figure it out.
This is great work! I look forward to seeing it live on Wikipedia. You should consider submitting this to WP:DYK where it would be on the front page of Wikipedia. Let me know if you're interested! —mako๛ 02:35, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
- @Kristen RL: I made some small edits to your sandbox to show you vaguely what I was thinking and to retitle one of the sections. Feel free to revert if you disagree. —mako๛ 02:38, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
