Welcome

Hello, Lainahare and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are participating in a class project. If you haven't done so already, we encourage you to go through our training for students. Go through our online training for students

If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Please also read this helpful advice for students.

Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.

Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, and if your class doesn't already have one please tell your instructor about that. It is highly recommended that you place this text: {{Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and aid your communication with them.

We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished! SPF121188 ^{(talk this way) (contribs)} 18:21, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

Welcome!

Hello, Lainahare, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; 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.

Design for America moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Design for America, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Hello. I am working on the article in the draft space now. The reason I did not use the draft review feature is that this content is part of a class assignment. Thank you for your time. Lainahare (talk) 19:20, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

I'm trying to figure out what happened. While Draft:Design_for_America exists, I still see Design_for_America in mainspace and which received edits from Onel5969 and User:Ian (Wiki Ed) since your move...? -Reagle (talk) 17:27, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

Hi Reagle, on 11/8, Lainahare created the article in his userspace. On 11/25, Lainahare created the article in mainspace, by copy-pasting his userspace draft. AngusWOOF moved the article into draft, as it was not ready for mainspace. Without making any corrections, Lainahare simply moved his userspace draft into mainspace, ignoring AngusWOOF's comments. I moved the article to a correct name, unaware of the earlier draftification. I then also tagged it. If left unimproved, it will likely be put up for deletion in the next week or so. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 17:37, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

Hello Onel5969 I did not move the article back after you made that action. I am editing the article now in draft space. Thank you. Lainahare (talk) 19:15, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

Design for America

Thanks for creating this article. Could you add a lead section that summarizes all the major points of the article (as outlined in pages 7-9 in the Editing Wikipedia brochure that I've linked here)?

The article should be written in a more formal, neutral tone. Right now it doesn't read like an encyclopaedia article, it reads a bit more like a blurb that someone trying to promote the project might write. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:55, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for looking at my article. I'm not sure what happened to the lead section I added I will be sure to remedy that. In terms of the tone I will keep that in mind during this edit. Thank you.Lainahare (talk) 19:12, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

Concern regarding Draft:Design for America

Hello, Lainahare. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Design for America, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 09:02, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
