[edit]You just needed to delete that template from the page once you moved it to mainspace. I've done that for you.
You're off to a good start, but there are still some important fixes that your article needs.
- Wikipedia articles have lead sections, not introductions. Your article should start with something like
[Article title] is ...
The article title is the only thing that's supposed to be bolded (not the section headers, for example). The first sentence should succinctly describe the topic, so that someone who reads it and no more would have a sense of what the topic is. The rest of the lead should summarize the major points in the article, and shouldn't include any content that isn't discussed in more depth in the body of the article.
- Section headers and article titles should use sentence capitalization, not title capitalization. Only the first word of the header should be capitalized.
- References go after punctuation, not before. References also should come after the statements they support, there should always be at least one reference in any paragraph, and there shouldn't be anything after the final reference in a paragraph.
- While it's great to include highly specialized information, your work should also be accessible to the general reader. It's great to include equations, but keep in mind that most people will stop reading a section when they hit an equation, so the general points should be explained first in any section.
