Welcome!
[edit]Hello, Tylermaci12, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; 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.

[edit]Hi! Ian (Wiki Ed) is your Wikipedia Expert for the class. I can still answer your question, however. When discussing anything that deals with health, you should use academic and scholarly sources to back up the claims. Popular press sources like this are typically not the strongest possible sources and in some instances shouldn't be used at all, as most newspapers are more likely to gloss over or misrepresent information or not verify the content as fully as they should. We have a training guideline on this here that I recommend reviewing. Ian can give you more information on this as well. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:21, 25 March 2019 (UTC)

[edit]
Please do not use styles that are unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in Curry powder. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Your grammar is at elementary school level. Practice more in your sandbox and get help. Your sources are also inadequate; read WP:RS. Also, don't use Mercola as a source on Wikipedia. Mercola is quackery nonsense and not used to source Wikipedia's health or medical content; see WP:MEDRS. Zefr (talk) 17:16, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
