Welcome!

Hello, Chandrbv, 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.

Article moved to draft

Hello. After reviewing your new article, I have moved it to the draftspace at Draft:Occupational health concerns of cannabis. There you can edit it without having it judged by new page reviewers like myself. This will give you the space to complete the article as you hinted with your statement "will continue to add specifics of health effects". Keep in mind that officially created Wikipedia articles must conform with all of Wikipedia's guidelines for content, so I suggest you have a look at Wikipedia: My first article. I have also added a references subsection to your now-draftified article. Good luck in your future editing. SamHolt6 (talk) 00:38, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

Lost work

I'm sorry to say that if you didn't save the work, there's no way to retrieve it. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:32, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

Hi. Can you explain what you mean by "I wanted my longest version to be my actual draft"? As far as I can tell, the only page you've edited is Occupational health concerns of cannabis use, so I'm not sure which versions you're talking about.

Nice start to your draft, but you seem to have created an introduction, rather than a lead section. The lead section should start with the article title (or some version thereof), and should succinctly present the topic in the opening sentence. Your reader should have a sense of what the occupational health concerns around cannabis use are once they've read the opening sentence. Beyond that, the lead section should summarize all the major points of the article, but shouldn't contain any text that isn't already present in the body of the article.

Check out pages 7-9 of the Editing Wikipedia brochure for more assistance.

References should appear immediately after the statements they support. There should be a minimum of one reference per paragraph, and there shouldn’t be any text after the last reference in a paragraph. You also need to copyedit your work - there are, for example, quite a few sentences that don't end in periods.

A lot of your references aren't properly formatted. If you aren’t sure how to format references using the cite tool, please revisit the section of the training module beginning on this page. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:40, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
