Welcome! but be careful

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Do not cite yourself or your colleagues.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]
