Welcome![edit]

Hello, Farmergb, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor 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.

Feedback[edit]

Nice start on your draft. Some things you could improve going forward

  • The first section in the article, the lead, needs to summarize the main points of the article. It should start with a statement of that the topic is.
  • You need to make sure that every statement in the article can be connected directly with the supporting source. Right now, there's a lot that's unsourced.
  • Talk about the legislative history. Right now, I don't know if this is something that passed or not.

Have a look at some good articles about bills like the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and some of the others listed here. You don't need to go into anything like that amount of detail, but you can see some helpful models of what sorts of things you could cover. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:06, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Help me![edit]

My concerns are that I am not really sure what should be cited as the entire "provisions" section comes from congresses website where the actual bill is housed.

Surely there's some media coverage of the bill that highlights its main points and puts it in context? That may help. Huon (talk) 21:25, 29 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
