From your username initials, I surmise you are Helliwell or are associated with him. If so, you probably should avoid editing your article. On Wikipedia, that would be a conflict of interest as you may be putting your interest in the article above Wikipedia's. Please read wp:conflict of interest.

You might look at some other biographies to get an idea what one should look like. Beware that many biographies are poorly written. A few other crystallographers: Rosalind Franklin Jennifer Doudna. Short articles: Paul Emsley (crystallographer) Ted Baker (chemist). A list can be found here: Category:Crystallographers. I added Category:Crystallographers to John R. Helliwell.

If you add books, I would recommend using the template to generate an entry, or use formatting that is similar to its output. Avoid using a link, just use the ISBN. Cite web field "|isbn=" or template. By clicking on the ISBN number, one can get access to a number of booksellers as well as google. Example: ISBN 978-1-9821-1585-2 (view source with editor) This minimizes the appearance of promoting book sales. Cheers Adakiko (talk) 09:04, 22 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi Adakiko,
 * Thankyou again for your advice.
 * Just to offer a recap:-
 * I first noticed by accident that I had a wikipedia page, which was a stub.
 * It invited addition of details.
 * I first asked for advice from my department and the advice to me was the best way to help wikipedia was to provide factual details, always with a citation. So, I registered and added in small stages core details, always with a citation. The main criticism was two days ago, yours and one other, about the career resume style. I responded straight away and removed anything resembling career resume.
 * I did study other wikipedia entries from your Crystallographers list and as you say, they vary a lot in style.
 * From your message I agree of course that the more detailed narrative should be written by someone else.
 * The list of sources I have now provided should help.
 * One odd thing: I did try and upload my head and shoulders photo from **my own iphone** but it said it wasn’t clear I owned the copyright. Not sure how I could demonstrate that. But anyway I will not add anything else to my own entry, as you emphasise.
 * Best wishes,
 * John

 * You did a lot of nice work!
 * Did you upload that photo to Wikimedia Commons? That would be the best place to upload it. If you took the picture with your cell phone and did not alter it with Photoshop, it would contain the phone's metadata. That would indicate it was your own. If the photo had been previously uploaded to the web, a search of that image would suggest you had downloaded it from the web. That is often how suspect copyright violations are found. If you upload a photo to Commons and it gets tagged, you can contact Commons:Volunteer Response Team and supply evidence that the image(s) are yours. Maybe they don't think a *real* crystallographer would actually own an iPhone?
 * I recommend you add your real name to your user page: user:JRH9999.
 * You can add an wp:Edit request on talk:John R. Helliwell. There are several links to essays on COI edit requests. Do identify yourself. Please do follow the recommended change "X" to "Y" format. The editor reading your edit request often process many and would rather not spend time copy editing.
 * Should add a bibliography section. The bibliography should not be the majority of the article. Maybe 30-40% max. Any suggestions what should go there?
 * Some of the references have errors in them.
 * I worked with a company that built protein crystal growth incubators. I forget what they were called. Consisted of a commercial refrigerator w/o a compressor, included cameras, polarizers, temperature control, etc. They must have sold a few as I saw at least ten of the refrigerators. Based in Poway, California.
 * I hope this helps! Cheers Adakiko (talk) 22:17, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Hello Adakiko,
 * Thankyou again for your helpful advice.
 * I will upload my iphone photo to wikimedia commons. But then I should not be the person adding it to my wikipedia page, correct?
 * I did provide my identity at JRH9999 as my full name is on my email address. ie you were able to email me, correct?
 * The bibliography options for quoting are very extensive so I gave the weblinks to where my publications are and where my books are. ie respectively Google scholar and my Amazon books page. The selection, to comply with your recommended 30 to 40% maximum of text guideline, would be my subjective favorites and so I should not be the person making those selections, correct? I removed the sentences about my PDB data depositions because you objected to those sentences, and the articles do each specify their particular PDB data codes anyway, and more recently also their Zenodo raw data dois.
 * Best wishes,
 * John
