Welcome! edit

Hello, ThayerM12, 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.

Feedback edit

@ThayerM12, D. Royevich, JCW23528, and KashTalwar415: Nice work on your draft. Since you've moved your work life, this feedback applies to the Tactile discrimination article.

  • Your lead section could be longer. It should summarize all the major points of the article, so there should be more there.
  • References go after punctuation, not before, and there shouldn't be a space before the ref (e.g., between the reference and the period at the end of the sentence), but there should be one after it.
  • You could use more links to other articles. Any term that the average reader might be unfamiliar with should be linked the first time it appears in the article, so that the reader can learn more if they want to.
  • Everything you add needs to be connected with a supporting reference. Right now, the Pathways sections have no references at all. In general, there should be at least one reference per paragraph (assuming that one reference supports all the content in the paragraph) and there shouldn't be any text after the final reference in a paragraph.
  • Section headers use sentence capitalization, not title capitalization; only the first word of the title, and proper nouns, should be capitalized. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:37, 11 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
