Sorry, this is my first time trying to edit an article. I noticed the page doesnt say anything about different kratom strains... Not sure how I'm going about this wrong... Can you not cite certain articles? Brinoceros (talk) 19:19, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

 * I just went through the 5 pillars section, and some of the other user guidelines... Like I said, it's my first time editing something, so bear with me a little here (the guidelines say to ask for help, so I'm just trying to get my feet under me).

I just happened to notice the article doesn't say anything about different strains of kratom, and thought I would add a couple of sentences. The user guidelines say to try to back up every statement with a citation, so that was my intention - I have other articles I would like to make edits to, but you have to start somewhere. So a couple of questions - (1) Do I just need to use a different article / site for citation?, do I need like a scientific study or something? (2) Wouldn't it improve the article if there was some information added about various strains of kratom? Brinoceros (talk) 21:06, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
 * You need a reliable source. An article from a reputable scientific journal about strains would qualify. A blog from a site that sells kratom does not qualify. OhNo itsJamie  Talk 21:14, 28 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Ahhh, thank you. That helps. I'm going to find a different source, and try again Brinoceros (talk) 21:28, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
