Tips on your user page
First thing first, If yes, then cool. Ignore the rest of the message. However, if you don't like it and want to make it look even better, then follow these steps (and in that case, I'm happy to help):Open your your user page.Click "edit this page"/"edit" (above) to edit the page Add -  or above everything else in the content area of that page (whatever you write below and the Image, if any, will be shown under the section "About me"). click "show preview" (below) Now, if you like it, click "save page" (below).
 * Do you like your user-page, L.Sochava?


 * In case you cannot find the buttons

Here are some codes that might help, the codes work on internet explorer and other browsers like Mozilla firefox, google chrome too. If they don't work try clicking after pressing the keys of code. ++e - "Edit the page" ++p - "Show Preview"++s - "save page"

Note:


 * Mac OS X-users must hold (in stead of +), and press the desired access key (e, p or s), I guess.
 * If these keys don't work by themselves press after them without changing the order, to initiate the intended process.

I hope this helps. Brendon is here  11:44, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

Welcome
I saw your article on Off-Center Ions. You have demonstrated that you understand that Wikipedia provides general overview of topics. Here are some additional guidelines: Finally, welcome and feel to ask if you have questions. --Smokefoot (talk) 20:41, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
 * per WP:SECONDARY: we focus on secondary references (reviews and books). Citing a lot of journal articles takes little skill.  The real benefits come from general sources (like your book!) that contextualize journal articles.  Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a competitor for Chemical Reviews. So be selective in your referencing.  By the way, references are more useful when you provide titles and even better DOI's.
 * per WP:COI, you need to be careful about conflict of interest. Every researcher around the world seems thinks that they are doing the best stuff and their papers should be cited more often.  In fact, about 50000 journal articles appear each year in chemistry, so we have almost zero interest in citing journals unless they are pioneering articles or we just lack a better source.  In any case, it appears that you understand this restraint.
 * Almost every new editor at Wikipedia-Chemistry participates because they want to cite some of their own work. Given your training, I hope that you will decide to contribute more generally, even on topics that do not require citation of your publications.  There are probably many Wiki-articles in your field that could be improved.
