User talk:Smann2

Hi, Thanks for adding to Wikipedia. The page you added Pathatrix seems to be a product developed by a private company and it sounds too much like ad copy. The article should state that it is a product, who offers it, and who the target audience is. Try to sell it less and explain it more.

Also, the detailed usage directions are probably out of place in a Wikipedia article. I hope this was helpful. Jmeppley 19:06, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You asked about references: I get most of mine via Google Scholar for biotech stuff. Textbooks are always good, but this may be too recent of a development to be in a text book already. Both of these are good because they implicitly establish notability of the procedure. (If people are publishing research using it, then it's an established method.) If you have access to the user manual or any documentation distributed by the company, you can use that, just be clear that the source is the manufacturer.

I'm going to add a couple general wikipedia tips. First, it's good practice to sign all your comments on talk pages with 4 tildes (~~~~), they will be replaced with your ID and the date. Second, if you precede a line with a colon (:), it will be indented. It helps to make conversations more readable. You can see what I did on my talk page. Finally, check out the help pages. There is a page on Wikipedia:Citing_sources. Jmeppley 17:49, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
