Welcome![edit]

Hello, Mcissne2, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Adam 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.

Proposal[edit]

1) Gold in September

Gold in September is a nonprofit organization for childhood cancer that was started in my hometown. It's a fairly new organization so I knew there probably wasn't a wikipedia article on the topic. However it's on the rise and it's starting to get some more attention from the news.

2) Investigative Interviewing

I found a whole book on this topic in the library, which is always a great source of information because the content is usually not accessible already on the internet. I wanted to focus on a specific chapter in the book called A Structured Model for Investigative Interviewing of Suspects to walk through the steps of how to interview a suspect. When I looked on wikipedia, there were no articles with this title, but the internet had countless.

Feedback[edit]

I think we talked about these topics a bit in class. The first one will be difficult if you can't find further third party coverage to substantiate your claim that it is a notable organization (and check the notability requirements for organizations again). As for investigative interviewing, it seems to me that this is probably something that falls into another pre-existing page on Wikipedia. Even it if does belong on it's own, it can be very difficult to isolate where a "concept" or "method" starts and stops and whether it is new, notable, and deserves it's own page.

I think you will have more success if you shift topics to something that is more discrete: a very well known and big organization, an event, a place, or a person. This doesn't have to be completely different, but it will make your task as researcher & writer much easier. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Daclausen (talkcontribs) 16:40, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hey i hope im typing this in the right place. So I love the chart, i think you did that if i'm reading all of this right. I think it's helpful since i don't know anything about the basketball team except for what i read in the article. It's very factual and i can tell that you don't have bias on the topic. I think you have a really good start and i can tell that you put time and effort into it. The only thing i can think of you adding is maybe more about how the team got started.
