Hello!
editHi, Djack21 -- welcome to Wikipedia! As Ian mentioned, the Teahouse is a great resource for new editors. But did you know that Wikipedia also has an extensive help library for common questions? Of course, if you run into a question or problem, you're always welcome to get in touch with me either by email or on my talk page. Happy editing!

Editing Diener
editHi Debrieana,
I think you picked a very interesting topic for your Wikipedia project. I think you did a really good job keeping a neutral point of view throughout your article rough draft. For your lead section I think you defined what a diener is very well, but I think you need to expand more in your lead section. The lead section of your article should be around 200 words. You chose to add the subheadings of Education, Work and Duties, Skills, and Hazards, so in your lead section you should explain or give a little synapsis of key topics discussed in your following subheadings. This helps the reader gain insight on your article and possibly helps them gain access to specific information they are searching for. I feel by introducing little bit more information in your lead section on each subheading will give you a very strong and organized article to stem your subheading information from. I think you have already improved this article tremendously by adding subheading sections. I like all the subheading sections you have come up with, but I think editing the lead section as well as four other subheading sections is a lot of work. You could possibly pick two sections and the lead section and add, expand, and improve to those particular sections for the Wikipedia project. I had the same trouble when I went to edit my article on Sports Injury. I was planning to improve the lead section, add to the prevention section, add to the sports-related emotional stress section, and also add to the sports medicine section. I found it very overwhelming and like there was too much on my plate to be able to edit and improve to my best ability in that short amount of time, so I just picked two sections to edit, which Professor McEwen said was okay to do. This could be an option for you to do with your article. By enhancing your knowledge on specific subheadings this could lead to a more focused research, which could ultimately lead you to become an expert on specific subheading topics. I think you started out each subheading well by introducing what you are going to be discussing particularly in that section. I think you just need to expand on your ideas, make sure to include research, and insert ref tags in your paragraphs. In your journal post you included your articles you used for research on your topic of diener’s. I think all of them look very reliable being from journals and very informative. I think you just need to include ref tags from your sources once you expand on your initial ideas. I noticed that you included attached articles to your topic on diener’s through specific words stated in your article. I think this is very beneficial for readers in order for them to expand their knowledge and emerge themselves into the Wikipedia topic at hand. I saw that in your journal post you had a difficult time adding sources to your article as well as finding more information on your topic. When I was researching for my article I found that the MSU library search engine and Google scholar search engines were very beneficial to me by finding journals that were reliable and essential for my edits. Overall, I think you have a great start to your Wikipedia project on Diener’s. Good luck on the rest of your editing and if you have any questions you can email me!
