Hi,
You are doing very good work on your article, interesting subject! I read it and have some tips to make it better before we can publish it, relating to sourcing and referencing:
- All controversial claims need a source: otherwise readers don't know who claims it to be like that. Examples in your article:
- It has such a high surface tension that the water can brim several millimeters over a glass without spilling - This is such a bold claim that it can only stay in your text with a reputable source claiming it to be true.
- The big characters "No. 2 Spring in China" on the northern wall of the square pond, are Wang Shu’s calligraphy which are vigorous and simple - Says who?
- References should be more than just a link. Examples can be found here. Below is a tutorial on how to provide additional information in your references:
There is a "Cite" toolbar at the top of the edit window which allows you to automatically generate the required wiki code.
You click one of the templates, e.g. "book", and fill in the details.
More information can be found in Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or the citations tutorial (the below video will play best in Firefox or Chrome):
Hope this helps, if you are still having issues, contact your teacher, the Helpdesk or me. Good luck!
