 * Hello! That was an automated welcome, but here's my personalized welcome with some of what is intended to be constructive criticism. I've noticed you've been making a lot of edits, and adding a lot of material at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University lately. Here's something you may not know: Wikipedia articles are to be "based on reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy". However, you've been largely (exclusively?) adding primary sources. This, in my opinion, runs counter to the aims of an encyclopedia. Encyclopedias aim to be teriary sources. We draw from secondary sources primarily. I had a similar discussion at User talk:ToddPreston lately about another article. You could look that conversation over as well, as you may find some useful links. Do you have any questions? You can ask here, directly below my text. I'd be happy to answer any. =) Jesanj (talk) 17:21, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
