Welcome!
Hello, Q1N9, 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.

Notes
Hi! I wanted to drop you a quick note about the article draft you're working on.
Avoid writing things like " For a systematic review of the kind, please refer to the 2017 Springer book edited by Christian Montag and MartinReuter: Internet Addiction: Neuroscientific Approaches and Therapeutical Implications Including Smartphone Addiction (2nd edition)." The reason for this is that we don't really want to point people away from Wikipedia, at least not in this fashion. A better way to list the book in the page would be to add it to a "further reading" section. The sections should only really include information that doesn't require people to go elsewhere to get an answer.
Make sure to attribute claims such as "It is argued", as this poses the question of who argued the point. A way to resolve this could be something like "Researchers such as Susan Ebeling-Witte, Michael Frank, and David Lester...", as this attributes the claim to specific people (ie, the ones in the source). The reason that you want to make sure to attribute claims is because not everyone makes the same claims. Others may disagree in part or whole, so you want to avoid making a generalized statement. This is something that you'll get more used to the more you write, as it can take a little while to shift writing styles - I know that it took me a while when I first started editing.
Other than that, this looks good so far. I know that this can seem like a lot, so don't lose heart! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:06, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
