Hi -- very nice to see somebody adding useful material to the article. Let me make one small point, though: Wikipedia articles differ from academic articles in that the usual practice is to support a statement by giving a single reference to a good review article that discusses the evidence for the point, rather than by directly citing all of the relevant primary research. If we try to cite all the relevant original research, articles become virtually impossible to maintain. This is not a hard and fast rule, but generally speaking if an idea has been discussed in review papers, it is best to use them. Regards, Looie496 (talk) 16:57, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
