Welcome to Wikipedia, Zusiman! Thank you for
your contributions. I am
N2e and I have been editing Wikipedia for some time, so if you have any questions feel free to leave me a message on
my talk page. You can also check out
Wikipedia:Questions or type {{
help me}} at the bottom of this page. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
- Introduction
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- How to write a great article
Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that will automatically produce your username and the date. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! N2e ( talk) 15:19, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
Hi Zusiman. Thanks for your efforts to improve the NewSpace article, and especially for attempting to add sources for the claims you added. That is a good start.
But there are a couple of things about reliable sources that are worth knowing, so you should probably take a look at that sources link earlier in this sentence. The main two things are:
- generally speaking, primary sources (like a company website) are not considered good sources for many things, and in all cases, are not sufficient to support all of the claims that you added to the NewSpace article for many of the companies you added. Long term, the additions you added will probably not be stable without finding good secondary sources to support them.
- citations to bare URLs are not good (see {{ linkrot}}). The citing sources page will give you more info about good citations; but in general, we need a publisher, a title of the piece, a date the information was published (if available), and a date the website was accessed by the editor who added the reference.
I would be happy to help you learn some of the ropes of editing Wikipedia. If interested, ping me on my Talk page. Cheers. N2e ( talk) 03:45, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
