User talk:Ctrlxem

Welcome!
Hello, Ctrlxem, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; 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. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:29, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

Greetings!
Hello, Ctrlxem! I am also a fellow college student that loves exploring new cities through their food scene. I look forward to editing with you this year! - Miele17 Miele17 (talk) 03:21, 1 September 2023 (UTC)

Human trafficking in Houston
Hi Ctrixem, I notice you recently moved the article Human trafficking in Houston from draft space to article main space. This move makes the article live and subject to editing by anybody who has access to the internet. At present, the article is an orphan, and this may affect the article's readership and reader exposure in search engine results. Currently, the article Human trafficking in Texas appears to be authoritative Wikipedia article about Human trafficking in Houston, but that article does not link to the article you have created. Linking the two articles would address the orphan issue, and may promote your article in search results. However, by the cleanup tags already collected by your new article I perceive it has a number of other issues that you may wish to address sooner, rather than later. You should now discuss these issues on the article's talk page, rather than your user page.

Please be aware that writing for Wikipedia is not like writing your average class assignment. Anybody in the world can immediately critique your work and will probably find fault with it, once you publish any change. This is normal and is what makes Wikipedia work. However, Wikipedia also has a range of policies and guidelines that you should become familiar with as you edit. By understand them and keeping them in mind as you edit should, hopefully, make your editing experience more enjoyable. Welcome to Wikipedia! - Cameron Dewe (talk) 02:48, 29 October 2023 (UTC)


 * I greatly appreciate your help on my article! I am a total stranger to Wikipedia, seeing how completely different it is than past assignments I have done. Would you suggest I move my article back to the draft space and clean up tags and other errors, before linking my article to others in order to get more traffic?
