Welcome, but be careful
Welcome to Wikipedia. Here are suggested readings: WP:SECONDARY and WP:COI. The gist of these guidelines are: If you have questions, many editors can offer advice. Happy editing. --Smokefoot (talk) 18:29, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia prefers citations to reviews and books, not primary journal references (tens of thousands appear annually). Citing secondary sources is the encyclopedic style.
 * Do not cite yourself or your colleagues. It's called conflict of interest.  Many new editors cite themselves mainly.  That behavior is unacceptable.

Thank you for the heads up. I have not cited myself or my colleagues in any of my edits thus far, and I will be sure not to do so in the future. Chemwes (talk) 18:37, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the note. There is a recurring issue here with self-citation or new editors who only cite colleagues, hence my note.    On a more positive note, a number of editors know a lot of chemistry and/or the inner workings of Wikipedia, so you welcome to interact and collaborate, or you are free to just do your thing on your pet topics.
