Hello, ChristopherMCT, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; 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.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 21:46, 17 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I moved your draft back to your sandbox because it wasn't ready for mainspace. There were a few issues with it.

To begin with, your article's style, tone, and layout aren't right for a Wikipedia article. Have a look at pages 7-9 in the Editing Wikipedia brochure that I've linked to. Wikipedia articles don't have "introductions", they have lead sections that summarize all the major points of the article. They also don't have "how to" type information like you have in your "The Process" section.

The second issue is that your article overlaps too much with the existing compost article. Ideally, it should also have some sort of logical fit with the other articles in . What you're talking about is more a human or social system, not a set of composting techniques, so you should focus on that and link out to the other articles.
