Welcome, but be careful[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Here are suggested readings: WP:SECONDARY and WP:COI. The gist of these guidelines are:

  • Wikipedia prefers citations to reviews and books, not primary journal references (tens of thousands appear annually). Citing secondary sources is the encyclopedic style and it is essential for matters medical.
  • Do not cite yourself or your colleagues. It's called conflict of interest. Many new editors cite themselves or their colleagues mainly. Such behavior is inappropriate.

If you have questions, many editors can offer advice. Happy editing. --Smokefoot (talk) 01:59, 13 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Here's the deal[edit]

  • The references appear to be links to journal pdf's. That is very illegal if I am reading this right.
  • The images appear to be high quality, please make sure that they are not taken from a copyrighted source.
  • >15000 papers have appeared on MoS2. So you can probably finds reviews. Your primary sources give the impression of self-promotion are thus discouraged.
  • Wikipedia is not a technical review journal, it is an encyclopedia. I am sure that you think that your area is super-important, but usually Wikipedia waits for an area to be recognized by reviews and then the article relies on that source. These criteria are implicit in WP:NOTABILITY and WP:NOTNEWS.
  • If you have a conflict of interest, you are expected to declare it on the Talk page or your user page. We call this process WP:COI. An expected step if you cite yourself, your group, or your friends.

These comments apply also to your Sandbox work on drop epitaxy, especially WP:SECONDARY and WP:COI, and the idea that WP is not a technical journal - do that on a blog or a real publication. Your risk having that work deleted. So it is a good idea to go incrementally. If there is a major COI, the work will be removed. This is a great medium and hopefully you can contribute to articles where your group does not have papers. --Smokefoot (talk) 22:02, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
