Welcome!

Hello, Aprillynnewrites, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor 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.

You can find answers to many student questions on our Q&A site, ask.wikiedu.org

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:49, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

Hi! To review an article, do you mean the outline for the review or do you mean to copy an article to your sandbox? If it's the former, you have to put in the outline yourself. I've put it together here, so you can just copy this:

• Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?
• Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added?
• What else could be improved?
• Is the article neutral? Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
• Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
• Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article?
• Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted?
• What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes (on the article's talk page) about how to represent this topic?
• How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects?
• How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class?

For the latter you can copy the article into your sandbox by having both pages open in edit mode, the copying and pasting the content from the live article into your sandbox. Make sure that when you save the page that you note that you are copying it to your sandbox so you can work on a draft copy.
