Welcome![edit]

Hello, Cjott, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian 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.

Alex Rakestraw Peer Review

I thought all the information and examples of philopatry are good additions. I think the first paragraph might have a run-on sentence and a fragmented sentence, but the information is solid. In "Philopatric Female primates" in the third paragraph, the word female should not be capitalized. And in the last paragraph you have some things listed that shouldn't be capitalized. I think the mole rat and gorilla examples were a good idea to add and they might be a good thing to expand on. Overall, good job and a lot of solid info to work from.

Feedback[edit]

The problem you've run into is that your work isn't ready for "mainspace". Wikipedia already has an article on philopatry, so you can't create a new article that duplicates that topic. Wikipedia articles also shouldn't focus on discussing individual research studies. You should be writing about the facts, the findings, the conclusions of the studies, but you should only write about the details of a study if it's famous enough that someone else has written about it.

You also need to use inline references, and you should only use internal links in articles. I recommend that you revisit the Editing Basics training module. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:57, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You should point your instructor to your sandbox, for grading purposes. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:58, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have moved your page back to userspace as it is not ready for mainspace. @Ian (Wiki Ed): Could you assist here? Thanks. Nihlus 22:37, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not continue to move the page to the mainspace as it is clearly not ready. Nihlus 23:35, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
