answer: |
If you see the message "There is no README available for the selected package version" in Visual Studio NuGet Package Manager, that means that the selected version of the NuGet package does not have an embedded README file.
- If this is not the latest version of the package, consider checking the latest version.
- If the latest version doesn't have the README file embedded either, and you are not the maintainer of this package, you can ask the maintainer to add the README by filing an issue in their repo. To do so, click on the `nuget.org` link in the top right corner of the Package Manager in Visual Studio near the package name.

From memory, out telemetry shows that more than 50% of restores use a package source other than nuget.org (possibly in addition to nuget.org).

If you'd still like to include nuget.org instructions, I think you should rephrase it to something like "If you use nuget.org as a package source you can....". But the instructions are missing what to do after you click the nuget.org link.
