Sandbox
[edit]Hi. I moved the "Historical Significance of the Brown Building" back to your sandbox. The article space should only be used for articles, not for notes about what you intend to do. Thanks.

Feedback request
[edit]
I've looked at your article Significance of the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire and have some feedback for you.
- Consider if your contributions should be a standalone article or if they would be better incorporated as a section of an existing article, such as Triangle Shirtwaist Fire. Some issues to consider: Does your article mostly duplicate content there? Is the unique content in your article sufficient to justify a separate article?
- It is important that you avoid unintentional plagiarism. I removed from your article a number of sentences that were taken word for word from your sources. Remember that even if you cite your source, it is inappropriate to copy word for word from a source unless you indicate that it is a direct quote by use of quotation marks. If there are any further examples of sentences taken from this or other sources, they must be removed immediately. Please review the module Plagiarism and let me know if you have any questions.
- Avoid using bare URLs for citations and insure that your citations are complete and in the proper Wikipedia format. See the module Sources and Citations if you need for information.
- One of the sources you used, https://www.geni.com/projects/The-Triangle-Shirtwaist-Factory-Fire/27676, is not appropriate to use as a source for Wikipedia as that page is a mirror of a Wikipedia article. Wikipedia does not allow articles to cite other Wikipedia articles or other examples of user-generated content, it relies on secondary sources that have been vetted by experts or professional editors. Your school's library can help you find more appropriate sources on this topic.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Rob (Wiki Ed) (talk) 23:00, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
