Hey. I don't know if you're, but if you are, you should use only one username. Sockpuppetry is a serious offense on Wikipedia and can result in you being permanently blocked from editing. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 14:23, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Also, you should be aware that meatpuppetry - getting your friends to acts as proxies as support for you - is also unacceptable. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 14:28, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
 * What? I have no idea what you're talking about.  I am someone who really understands 3-D displays and was trying to improve the quality of this article.  I have only one username.  You are convincing me that contributing to WikiPedia is a waste of time.Gregg Favalora (talk) 14:31, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Then I apologize; it really wasn't my intention to drive you away. Sometimes around here when an editor isn't pleased with how a page is turning out, they'll turn to either creating alternate usernames and editing under those, or getting their friends to come side with them. And I saw that a brand new account had come and left several remarks on the page about how it was "totally inaccurate", so I wanted to get warnings out there just in case my suspicious were right. Again, I'm sorry. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 14:40, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks. And, ah, now I understand what's happening.  I pointed a professional colleague to the article recently who is quite expert at the topic but perhaps not at WikiPedia. I thought he would share my surprise at how the article is evolving.  It wasn't an attempt to follow some agenda; rather, there are real inaccuracies here.  In any case, I'll back off from this piece for a while until I am able to contribute something more citation-rich, etc. Gregg Favalora (talk) 14:43, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
 * Manual of Style

I looked through your edits, and whilst I'm definitely no heavy editor I'll try to do my best and give you some pointers.
 * References are usually added inside ". This adds a footnote, and references are added wherever is included.
 * I think the problem with the link to your online course is that it could be seen as mere promotion. HelloAnnyong linked you to [[WP:LINKSPAM] in their revert of your edit; [[WP:OR#Citing_oneself]] might be related as well (I'm not sure, it's not a citation, but it's a reference to your own work).

In general, I think it's great that someone who knows about the subject contributes to the article; you shouldn't be afraid of doing "wrong", as long as contributions are made in good faith. Hopefully someone with a better knowledge of the customs at wikipedia could give you better pointers, but in general, don't be afraid to edit. :) — Fire Fly  ~  22:57, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
