Any chance you can be more encyclopedic, and less academic?
Hi Hom08, and welcome to Wikipedia. I'd like to thank you for your contributions, but I'm just wondering if you can manage to edit them a little to improve their comprehensibility to a non-expert. Your edits read like paper abstracts or extracts from review articles, and I believe that they will be pretty much incomprehensible to anyone who is not an expert in the field they address. Obviously, those experts will not be coming to Wikipedia for their information on the subject, so I fear that your contributions may not be having any impact as they are. The other thing I would suggest is that you try to keep perspective and balance in the articles, so that the reader is not misled. For example, in the 3D optical data storage article there is a list of academics with very short descriptions of their work, and you have added a long paragraph about one group (focusing on details not central to the article), which may lead a reader to believe that these researchers are by far the most influential in the field.

These are just my observations in an attempt to help, and I hope you're not offended. Feel free to ignore me if you think I'm at fault, but I hope you will think over my points.
