Hello, I'm Jerm. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Acoustic droplet ejection have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. Jerm (talk) 23:47, 30 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I don't mean to be promotional. I just want to add a reference to the Wikipedia article that provides lots of background. The entire issue of the Journal of Laboratory Automation is dedicated to the history and use of acoustic droplet ejection. The journal is peer-reviewed. I do not know how to cite an entire issue, I was going to try: Advancing Scientific Innovation with Acoustic Droplet Ejection. Journal of Laboratory Automation 21.1 (2016):1-216. https://journals.sagepub.com/toc/jlac/21/1 .GiuseppeAlexander (talk) 23:58, 30 September 2020 (UTC)GiuseppeAlexander[reply]

Hello GiuseppeAlexander, your edit here was typed as advertisement suggesting to the reader should investigate for more information by reading "Advancing Scientific Innovation with Acoustic Droplet Ejection". Your basically using Wikipedia as a medium to a product which in this case is the journal, that's not encyclopedic. Now if you wanted to add an alternative view/counter argument and the journal is the source that provides the view/argument then you add the content and cite the journal to support the content. I hope I made that clear enough. If you have any more questions/concerns, please ask the WP:TEAHOUSE. Jerm (talk) 00:23, 1 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
