Hi SPT JanMerna! Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia.
Be our guest at the Teahouse! The Teahouse is a friendly space where new editors can ask questions about contributing to Wikipedia and get help from experienced editors like Masumrezarock100 (talk).

We hope to see you there!

Welcome! but be careful

[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia! We really need experts. 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. Avoid primary references if at all possible.
  • Do not cite yourself or your colleagues. It's called conflict of interest. Many new editors cite themselves mainly. That behavior is unacceptable.

If you have questions, many editors can offer advice, including me. Wikipedia is a little more complicated than it looks like from the outside. Happy editing.--Smokefoot (talk) 02:16, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
