Hi! Thanks for helping edit pages concerned with EDA, which can always use the assistance.

However, when adding references, remember that Wikipedia is an encylopedia and not a bibliography. There are many, many references to topics such as delay calculation. Before adding a reference, think about whether this is really a fundamental reference in the field, or is mostly of interest to specialists. For example, of the papers that are mentioned now,

Elmore's paper is cited 639 times in Google scholar; the AWE paper is cited 849 times; the PRIMA paper is cited 569 times; and "Computation of Accurate Interconnect Process Parameter Values for Performance Corners under Process Variations" is not cited at all. This of course does not mean it's not an important paper, but it's probably not the first place a person interested in delay calculation should turn, unlike the others which any specialist in the field would be expected to know. Also, a new paper such as a tutorial might make a suitable reference, or if the text of the Wikipedia article comes from an specific article then a reference is called for, but from the title it does not sound like this is the case.

Anyway, welcome to Wikipedia, and happy editing! LouScheffer 02:30, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
