Article draft[edit]

Hi. Thanks for checking in with me about your draft. I didn't think it was quite ready for mainspace yet, so I moved it back to your sandbox. I've linked to the Editing Wikipedia brochure here, and you should check out pages 7-9 for some help with layout.

A Wikipedia article should start with a lead section that summarizes the content of the article. It should then be followed by sections that describe major points in detail. You should not use numbered or bulleted lists except when you're actually listing things that either don't need further description, or that are described in more detail after. Rarely (if ever) should lists be included in the lead section.

Because Wikipedia articles are meant to be encyclopaedia entries, section headers shouldn't be in the form of questions. They're meant to be descriptive, not conversational. While illustrative examples are fine, pedagogical examples like the one you used aren't really in keeping with the tone of an encyclopaedia. Also in the example Wikipedia is giving legal advice ("Sarah could sue"). While you may be qualified to give legal advice, Wikipedia articles aren't signed and there's no way to verify your identity. Since this is written in Wikipedia's voice, Wikipedia is the one giving legal advice, which is can't do. So if you're using an example, be sure to attribute it to a source, and make sure that the opinion is attributed to the source. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:46, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
