User talk:Pebbles1.0/NationalAlzheimer'sProjectAct
Hello again Pebbles1.0--
- You'll want to delete the first section title you've created, otherwise it looks like you don't have a lead (the lead is supposed to sit on top of the table of contents)
- Thus you'll want to the "levels" of the rest of the section headings. Right now they are "sub-heading 1". Highlight the section title and change to "heading"
- You should link to Alzheimers disease in the article. It seems logical that a reader would want to click between the two.
- In general, Wikipedia prefers certain date formats and doesn't like formatting like "January 4th, 2011". Given that this is an article about US legislation, it should use January 4, 2011.
- Related to your question, I think a press release from the federal government is a reliable source in this context.
- Related to your second question, I don't think you need multiple sources for controversy. However, as I think we might have discussed in class, you don't want to create a section of the article titled "Controversies" or something similar. Reception to an aspect of the article, both positive and negative, should be integrated into the article.
- As far as fixing the error message in your reference. The "line feed error" message shows up when a manual linebreak is put in a reference. So click on the reference in edit mode and click "edit". There is a manual line break in the title of the reference that needs to be removed. Removed the line break and the error should go away!
- You can abbreviate after the first full use of an acronym. However, treat the lead as separate from the body. So you will need "National Alzheimer's Project Act (NAPA)" at first use in both the lead and the body, after which you can simply use NAPA.
- There is content in the lead that isn't in the body. Susan Collins and Evan Bayh are only mentioned in the lead, not the body. Also we only know the date it was signed in the lead and not in the body. Remember that as a synopsis/abstract, the lead should not contain any novel content, but rather summarize the rest of the article.
- Instead of a section titled "official website", you'll want to title it "External links". Just a Wikipedia convention for standardizing article section titles.
