I have no questions for now.
@SoulfullyAButterfly
Hi is there a maximum or minimum amount of references we should have as part of the article?
@Mari228
Aim for at least two. But you can have as many as you need. I think two to five is good.
@Mari228 it is a good idea to look at 2-4 external references and also try to link around 2 existing 7 Cups resources. However, this is not a fixed rule and can vary per article.
@SoulfullyAButterfly
How can we check to make sure a topic/article we want to want to discuss, hasnt already been done?
@heathermarie95 currently published ones are available to review at www.7cups.com/experts Usually, there are many different angles/titles we can place for similar topics so we can work on that too.
