 * 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 * Do not cite yourself or your colleagues.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.
 * avoid referring to individuals unless they are luminaries (Nobelists, etc). No one really cares, and personal attributions lead to anxiety about who did what.  Readers are interested in the chemical facts.  By avoiding names, we minimize conflicts of interest.
 * avoid procedural details. We dont get even close to telling readers how to do the experiments.
