Welcome!

Hello, KeraKulp, 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 leave you some feedback.

• Offhand I'm kind of confused as to which article you're writing for, as this seems a little too general for the Victorian decorative art article. This looks to be more generally about the home and architecture.

• This is written in more of an essay-like tone, so it needs to better fit the formal writing style used on Wikipedia. Avoid using "if... then..." statements. You also need to avoid original research - claims and conclusions that you came up with based on the source material, as well as drawing ties between two sources that aren't explicitly stated in the source material.

• Avoid any point of view or opinion statements, as these are subjective to the reader. For example, the term undeniable is relative to the reader, as one may agree while the next may disagree. The only time they should be included is when they're attributed to a specific person or organization.

• This could potentially use more sourcing to help back up claims.

I hope that this helps! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:12, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
