Welcome!

Hello, HunterStackhouse, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; 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.

Notes

Hi - I wanted to give you a response and some notes.

First, you asked if this would be OK for an article. Offhand it looks like the book should be notable as it's covered in sourcing like this and won the Franco-Arab Friendship Prize. You need more sourcing, but this gives off the strong impression that more is out there. A note - it's likely that there is coverage in French, so it can definitely be used.

We have a brochure on creating and editing book articles, so this should be a lot of help for you. With creating lists, you can create those by going to the work bar and selecting the button that looks like three dots on top of each other, followed by a line. (It should look like this *- )

On a side note, remember that we can only summarize what is in the source material. Make sure that the writing isn't too casual or comes across as your own interpretation. I recommend reviewing other book articles for examples on writing styles and formatting. To Kill a Mockingbird is a great example. Obviously you don't have to make it as thorough as that, but it can serve as a good outline. I hope this helps! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:09, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
