Hello, Allithegr8, 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.

The Ways of White Folks

== Evaluate the drafted changes ==

The sentences added to the lead add much needed detail for explaining what is within the Wikipedia Page. Adding the Background section for the novel is also very helpful and was absolutely necessary for enhancing the overall Wikipedia page. Adding the summary section for this page was perfect. Yes, the information about the novel is great, but having details about what is within the novel was done really well. The overall organization of the page is done well except that one part of the Wikipedia page that is confusing. This is about the two sections that are titled Reception. Overall, the Wikipedia page is great and provides much essential information about the novel. The summary and background was a great touch that enhanced the page. The only negative is the Reception part. Gmarinello19 (talk) 21:32, 30 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

Draft declined

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. Your draft submission to Articles for creation has been reviewed but not accepted at this time.

Feedback

The reviewer, Z. Patterson, left the following feedback:

This draft is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Wikipedia's verifiability policy requires that all content be supported by reliable sources.

• Reliable sources include: reputable newspapers, magazines, academic journals, and books from respected publishers.
• Unacceptable sources include: personal blogs, social media, predatory publishers, most tabloids, and websites where anyone can contribute.

Replace any unreliable sources with high-quality sources. If you cannot find a reliable source for the material, it should be removed.

I see several sentences that are missing citations. Every paragraph, except for paragraphs in the lead section — or in the case of an article about a fictional work, plot summaries — must have citations, especially if the paragraph has quotations or material that may be challenged. Please see Wikipedia:Citing sources.

• Edit Draft:Mathematics Anxiety Rating Scale (MARS) to address the points above, making sure to publish any changes.
• When you are ready to resubmit your draft for review, click the Resubmit button.
