If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help Desk. Thanks.

Your article

Nice start on your article, but you need to make some changes to it so that it meets the layout and referencing requirements of a Wikipedia article. If you check out pages 7-9 of the Editing Wikipedia handout, you will get some good information about layout.
While you have citations, you need to convert them to. If you aren’t sure how to do this, please revisit the section of the training module beginning on this page. References should appear immediately after the statements they support; they shouldn't be in section headers. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:42, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
