Welcome!

Hello, Jsplack, 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.

Moved content back to userspace

Hi, I moved your page back to your userspace for a few reasons, which I'll elaborate on below:

• This is about a ballot measure that hasn't passed at this point in time. Ballot measures are rarely notable and would need a lot of coverage in order to establish how they're notable. This would be coverage that is specifically about the measure and is both in-depth and secondary. Primary coverage (anything put out by the people who are supporting the ballot, behind it, or otherwise involved with it) cannot establish notability.

Also, coverage that is about wildlife in the state or generally about the area - or generally about wildlife issues similar to the topic- won't establish notability for the measure either. The only exception would be if this ballot was something that has been talked about and people have been trying to pass for a very long time.

• Offhand most of the sourcing looks to be general and not about this specific ballot or city, which causes issues as stated above.

• This is pretty general about the importance of wildlife crossings in general.

Now these points aside, the writing isn't bad - it's just that this topic doesn't yet meet notability guidelines. Now that said, I do think that there is a way to revamp this. I would say that you could tweak this to be about wildlife in Wyoming or about wildlife crossings in Wyoming. The main catch would be that if you were to do the wildlife crossing, you would need to have sourcing that is about wildlife crossings that are specifically in Wyoming. I think that re-writing this to be more generally about wildlife in Wyoming would be better. The parts about wildlife crossings could be its own section.

• Another alternative would be to merge this information into the main article on wildlife crossings, as the article could definitely use some expanding. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:42, 12 August 2019 (UTC)

Ways to improve Proposed wildlife crossings in Jackson, Wyoming

Hello, Jsplack,

Thank you for creating Proposed wildlife crossings in Jackson, Wyoming.

I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

The article is overly reliant on primary sources, and needs a greater proportion of its references to be to coverage in secondary sources. Additionally, the article needs some copy editing for tone so that it reads less like an essay and more like a Wikipedia article.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Rosguill}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.
