Hello, Cold water kid, 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.

Nice work on your draft article - it's a really impressive start. One thing to bear in mind - a Wikipedia article begins with a lead rather than an introductory paragraph; your first sentence or two should say (as concisely as possible) what the article is about. Many readers are interested in figuring out what a topic is as quickly as possible - ideally you should let them know what this is in a sentence or two. This is the reason why Wikipedia articles begin with "[Subject] is..." Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 23:33, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
