User talk:Benzenec
Welcome
Hi Benzenec, I see that you have just signed on. If you are doing a PhD, then you should have lots to offer to the project. I will give you my usual spiel: Suggested readings:
WP:COI
. The gist of these guidelines are:
- Wikipedia prefers citations to reviews and books, not primary journal references (tens of thousands appear annually, people underestimate the torrent of publications). We seek general info, usually not journal stuff. We are not a forum for reporting "hot results" (in fact we avoid doing so WP:NOTNEWS).
- Do not cite yourself or your colleagues. Many new editors cite themselves or their groups with the best intentions. Don't do that. Find another topic.
A good way to contribute is to consider the fundamentals from the intro of your soon to be publications/thesis and make sure those fundamentals are spelled out in Wikipedia. You do not need to explain things (
WP:NOTTEXTBOOK), just present them with good booky or reviewy citations. Many times experts like yourself will see that the current wiki articles are flawed. Then correct them. Finally, many people here are ready to help, so you can just post questions on the talk pages of articles you are wondering about. Happy editing. --Smokefoot (talk) 14:28, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

- @Smokefoot: Hey thanks for the helpful message. I also really like all the fluoride stuff that you've linked to on your page - nothing drives me crazy like conspiracy theorists/chemophobes. Keep up the good work!--Benzenec (talk) 19:49, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
