            I'm trying to assemble a table for an article for the National Weather Service but I can't quite get it right!!! I looked at the Headquarters field in the Company type, and I want to know... How can I get those rows as they are displayed??? Rows representing Local Office, Service Area, WFO Codes, Mailing Address, City, State and Zip Code and Phone Number. Please help me, I am largely new at this!!!

              Hey Detroitwinter,

              The way to create a new entry, or topic, for Freebase is to decide what type of thing it is, and then add it to the corresponding Freebase type. For example, the National Weather Service is a government agency, and there is also a Government Agency type in Freebase here:

              http://www.freebase.com/view/government/government_agency

              You can add the NWS to the list of things of this type by clicking on Add a New Government Agency; when you do, you will see a table of properties that you can fill in, this is the table with the rows of information you saw when you looked at the Company field. You can also add other types that you think are appropriate to the topic by clicking Add Types, but to initially create a topic you need to start by deciding which it would be categorized under.
