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)
