I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.

There are a few things left to do with the article that you might want to do before moving it to article space.
References
Although you have a reference section, you have no citations, and it is unclear where your information comes from. In reading the article, I have an overall sense that you've relied very heavily on these two only. Several places in your article you could pull in other sources to augment your story. For example, when you refer to the roof and the winter of 1942, why not find an article in the local paper that talks about the weather that winter. When you're talking about the anarchists, why not find an article from the local paper that highlights some of the things those people were doing and why? Or a history of Pittsburgh that delves into the problem in greater detail. That should also be linked to a broader article about Italian anarchism in the labor movement.
Examples of places to look for additional sources
- Historic Pittsburgh.
- Pittsburgh newspapers
- the local newspaper for the town
- Pittsburgh or Allegheny County histories
Citations
Consequently, you should include citations, which isn't hard to do. To make a citation, there are several templates you can use, and instructions are how to use them are at WP:CIT. I do citations manually. For a book: <ref>Author. ''Title''. Location: Publisher, date, ISBN: (13 digit number), pp. #.</ref> After you mention it the first time, just type <ref>Author, p. #.</ref>
This article would benefit from an image. Do you have a photograph of the church today? Are there photographs the church will let you use? This means releasing it into public domain, and your church may or may not be willing to do that. You could also include a map showing the location of the church. In any event, the article will need geo coordinates. See WP:GEOCODE.
[[Category:]] looks like this. After the colon, you'll want to type some categories that your article belongs to. Check some other articles similar to yours to find out what categories they use. Churches in Pittsburgh, PA, for example.
When you are ready, open this link: Mount St. Peter Church. It should ask you if you want to create an article. Then, in another window, open your user sandbox. Highlight your entire text and copy it, then paste it into the window of the "new" article. Type "create article" in the line that asks you to describe your change. Then hit save.
