Here are some thoughts to get this article ready for main space:
There's more, but this should keep you busy for a bit. You're on the right track, now tidy it up a bit more, and you're almost ready for prime time! Cordially, Mathglot ( talk) 01:22, 20 March 2018 (UTC) updated at Mathglot ( talk) 22:20, 27 March 2018 (UTC)
See my bullet point above about inlinks and WP:ORPHAN. I found an inlink for you, to de-orphan your article, and I was going to just hint at it, and see if you could find it yourself. But in fact, I can't do that; I have to tell you which article it is, because there's an overlap issue concerning the two articles that needs to be resolved. It's the Communal roosting article.
When writing a brand new article at Wikipedia, you should always check whether someone else might have already written it, or included it as part of some other article. In this case, Communal roosting has extensive information about ICH. That doesn't mean you absolutely can't create your article as a new article, but it does mean that probably other editors should get involved, have a look at your article, and decide whether your content should be merged into that one, whether you should create the new article anyway and some of the content tjere should be merged into this one, leaving a summary there, or what exactly. Pinging Ian (Wiki Ed) to alert him to this situation. Mathglot ( talk) 05:09, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
Hi, thank you for all of the feedback! I created a wikilink on the Communal roosting page to bring readers to the ICH standalone page. I am also about to add a sentence to the page for Amotz Zahavi regarding his role in the creation of the ICH and link it back as well. I am continuing to work on the other items you've suggested. Thanks again! Js7581 ( talk) 15:26, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
Hello! I am a student editor at Wikipedia and this semester I have created the article, Information centre hypothesis. After creating the article, it was brought to my attention that the 'Communal roosting’ article already has a section on the ICH. I have linked my article to the Communal roosting article. I posted mine as a separate article because I feel this theory is distinctive enough to have a page separate from Communal roosting. However, I am looking forward to having other Wiki editors review the page and perhaps have some discussion as to whether the page should be a standalone, or if the information should be incorporated into the communal roosting page. I would also like to note that I tried to find a Wikipedia article that talked about the ICH before beginning the new article, but a Wikipedia search and a Google search brought back no results, so I didn’t think there was any previous information regarding the ICH on Wikipedia. My course is ending now, but I hope my work from this semester will contribute something positive to Wikipedia. Editing has been a great experience and I look forward to continuing in the future. Thank you. Js7581 ( talk) 15:23, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
The creation of this article was a bit convoluted, and included a cut-paste move. (See details, here.) It's possible that a History merge might be necessary in order to provide full attribution for this article. Mathglot ( talk) 22:14, 27 March 2018 (UTC)
