Re: Your comment on my talk page
[edit]Hi, Espresso addict. I just want you to know that there are organisations that there are organisations that can help you with your addiction. I have been there myself and if you ever need to talk you are welcome to get in touch.
- Hi Jonas -- Welcome to Wikipedia! I'm comfortable with my coffee 'addiction', thanks! Do remember to sign your comments on talk pages (not in mainspace) using four tildes like this: ~~~~. You can put them in a separate headed section by clicking the 'New section' tab at the top of the page. Happy editing! Espresso Addict (talk) 23:36, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
- By the way, I've noticed that you've asked a few questions on talk pages about how to contribute. The best place to ask for help is the Teahouse, which is a friendly forum for newcomers. Or you can place the Help Me template on your talk page by typing {{Help me}}, and someone will drop by to assist. Best of luck! Espresso Addict (talk) 23:36, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

- Hi again, Jonas. The IRC help channel (en-help) is a great way to ask questions of people who are actually online at the same time you are and generally know a lots. If you go to the general Help page, click on the link to IRC and follow directions. Good luck and have fun! HouseOfChange (talk) 18:04, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
Re: Your question at Trouble on the Corner
[edit]Hi I just started an account, clicked on random article and this is what came up. I think I could expand it but not sure what the best way to preceed is? Do I just dive in and edit or do I need to get permission from the page owners first?
- Hi again! You don't have to ask permission to edit an article, though I fear it can seem like that sometimes! What you do need to do is to provide what Wikipedia calls 'sources' for all material that you add. This is especially important for pages about living people (because of the potential for defamation suits). Many websites – IMDb, trip adviser and Wikipedia itself amongst them – are not considered sufficiently reliable. Good sources are specialist encyclopedias, reference books, reputable major newspapers and articles in scholarly journals. You need to actually add a reference to the source when you add the new fact. If you're using Visual Editor, there should be a button to help you.
- I find it's usually best to start with the sources that I have available and find articles to improve that way. You can also try finding a Wikiproject that deals with an area you are interested in. You can find these by looking at the templates on the talk pages of articles. Beware, though, a lot of the projects are inactive.
- Hope this helps. I'm afraid starting to edit here has quite a steep learning curve, so don't get put off! Cheers, Espresso Addict (talk) 00:19, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
I moved your article to draft space. Please improve this article and use the WP:AFC process to submit it for review. Right now, as it is written, there is nothing to convince me that this article passes WP:NCORP. The only independent WP:RS is a brief namedrop in the Xinhua piece, which does nothing to establish notability. The rest of the sources fail WP:CORPDEPTH as press releases.
