Mesoporous silica

The lead of your article should not be a bullet list. I do understand that this list is the legacy of what you found before you started editing. The lead is everything that occurs prior to the first titled section of the article. See Wikipedia:Lead section for tips on how to organize this. You should remove your "Introduction" section and place that material into the lead. Your lead should tell what mesoporous silica, and offer a preview of the topics you will expand upon in the titled sections. Try to incorporate the information that is in the current bullet list into one of the titled sections below. Or you might consider making some kind of info-box on the right-hand side that provides this info. Karl Hahn (T) (C) 19:05, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Reference style

I have fixed the reference style on Mesoporous silica. Please look at the methods I used for creating the references by looking at the source, both at the point in the text where the reference is cited, and in the references section near the end. See Category:Citation templates for a list of templates that are used for citations. Click on any one of them to see instructions for usage. All your references seemed to be journals, so I used the template appropriate for that. Also be sure to check the content of the reference info to make sure I got it right.
