Welcome[edit]

Hello, Skirby0923 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. Go through our online 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) 17:39, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft[edit]

I moved your draft back to your sandbox because "Skirby0923/A Cross Line" is not an appropriate name for a Wikipedia article.

Before you moved it back to mainspace, you need to add some more inline citations. Everything you add to Wikipedia needs to be tied directly to a reliable source. After the statement, there should be a source. You can use a single source to support several sentences in a row, if it supports everything you say in those sentences, but you need to have at least one source per paragraph, and you shouldn't have any text after the final reference in a paragraph (because that content is effectively unsourced).

Hi Feedback for moving forward; take a look at Editing Wikipedia Articles on Books., pg.3. It details the framework for key sections to include in the article that provide a holistic review of the work. Creating a robust background section is key because it will put the summary section in context for the readers. The rest of the sections, like genre, analysis, publication, etc. will provide critical breadth to the article. Including additional reliable sources from ex: NY times, the guardian, or other news coverage reviews would be a great addition to support your contribution. Any questions, feel free to reach out.
