User talk:Nothing Else Matters

Welcome!
Hello, Nothing Else Matters, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Air crash in Paraty in 19 January 2017, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type help me on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

Hello, and welcome - typically, unless there is enough material (and references) to support an entire article for creation we try to add the information into an existing article, or use the Portal:Current events to report on information until everything is confirmed, therefore there is no speculation being added to an article. I believe this information can be added to the existing article on this long term topic, Operation Car Wash. I'll go ahead and add a sentence about this crash to that article, but I would hesitate on creating a new page, per WP:TOOSOON. Thanks, Garchy (talk) 21:18, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

ok, Could I help translating the article from https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queda_de_avi%C3%A3o_em_Paraty_em_2017 ?
 * Hello, if you have the ability (I do not, I only speak one language) to help translate this page that would be great! I also am not against page creation, rather I'm for it - my worry is that as a developing story there is not much information just yet. Let me know how I can help, and if you need help formatting or knowing where to place the information. Garchy (talk) 21:26, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

where can I do a draft? Nothing Else Matters (talk) 21:40, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

what is the [1] on the articles?Nothing Else Matters (talk) 22:10, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
 * It indicates a reference, which should be listed in a reference list near the bottom of the article. For example, in the article Nederlander Theatre, you will see [1] immediately following the statement "The theater holds the distinction of being the southernmost theater in the theater district." If you then look down the page to the "References" list, you will find that reference number 1 (labelled "Nederlander Theatre (Broadway). Reference: At This Theatre. Playbill. Retrieved 2014-11-06.") links to a page which tells us that the theatre "became the southernmost Broadway theatre", thus confirming the statement to which the reference was attached in the Wikipedia article. That is how it's supposed to work, but unfortunately quite often it doesn't, as some references are added either by well-meaning editors who don't understand what references are supposed to be, or less often by editors who are deliberately trying to mislead.

 * Hello! I've created this page for you to work on User:Nothing Else Matters/Air crash in Paraty in 19 January 2017 - I've also included the sentence, and reference, that I added to the Operation Car Wash page. Once you feel the article is ready to be moved into the main article space you can contact another editor (like me) or use the Teahouse where people are always willing to help! Let me know if you have any more questions, and thank you for your contributions. Garchy (talk) 22:22, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
