Welcome![edit]

Hello, Jqp5962, 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.

Moved article back to sandbox[edit]

Hi there, I moved your article back to your sandbox at User:Jqp5962/Consumerism because it was not ready for the mainspace. A couple of points of feedback:

Writing Style & Format:Currently, the content reads and is formatted like an essay, which is fine for other assignments in your course but not for Wikipedia. Remember, the goal is to provide a neutral, fact based summary of the topic at hand, not to persuade the readers. I recommend reading over pgs. 7-9 of Editing Wikipedia before you rewrite to check out some examples of what is appropriate prose for Wikipedia.

Inline Citations:As you edit your content, keep in mind 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.

Topic Choice:There is an existing Consumerism article that covers the ideas you expanded. I recommend improving the existing article with your contributions as an option moving forward.
