Hello, ZekeMelo2000, 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. 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 on Leilani

Hi @ZekeMelo2000, Well done on starting your bibliography. You have compiled a good list so far, and I think you're ready to start drafting. Some things to keep in mind:

Sources & Inline citations: Remember, everything you add to Wikipedia needs to be supported by references to reliable sources, at least 3 - 5 sources that are about the topic. Every statement should be followed by a supporting citation; if a group of sentences are all supported by the same source, you can place a single citation after all of them, but you need to have at least one citation per paragraph, and you shouldn't have any statements after the final citation in a paragraph. If you need a refresher on how to add citations, please consult this training module.

Keep in mind, your writing for Wikipedia will summarize what independent, reliable, secondary sources have said about a topic, so that a Wikipedia reader can get an overview of the current thoughts and understanding of that topic (in this case about Leilani). Remember, the goal is to provide a neutral, fact based summary of the topic at hand based off the reliable sources you've found.

A good example that I like to use as reference is the Wiki article on Marsha Rhea Williams. Take a look at it for guidance on how to structure the text, neutral writing style and tone.

You can also go ahead and delete the sandbox template box on the sandbox.
