Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) I did a draft last night for my group assignment on ulcerative colitis and I did it on my group's sandbox draft. How do I see it because I could not find it anymore?

[edit]Is this your addition, here? User:ML6484/sandbox? Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:54, 16 October 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Ian, I think what happens is I just clicked the prompt submit the draft for review and without publishing. But I just hope I could still retrieve it. I believe I did the draft on the group's sandbox gaffybrennan9/ulcerative colitis.ML6484 (talk) 22:16, 16 October 2019 (UTC)
- Hi! Ian (Wiki Ed) is the one in charge of your class. However that said, I think I can answer your question - you were asking about the red marks that show up with the sourcing, saying that the dates are off. All this means is that the dates in the citations are set up in a way that Wikipedia's system doesn't recognize. So for example, Wikipedia will recognize the following setups:
- October 2019
- Fall 2019
- October 17, 2019
- 2019
- However it doesn't recognize it when it's in this format:
- 10/17/2019
- 10 17 2019
- October Seventeenth, Two thousand and nineteen
- To fix this, all you need to do is go and fix the publication date field in the citation so that it is in a format that Wikipedia uses. That said, I fixed the dates for you while I was verifying that the above content was correct. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:33, 17 October 2019 (UTC)
- Thank you so much Shalor. How about my draft, is it wiki appropriate?ML6484 (talk) 20:17, 17 October 2019 (UTC)
