Writing about yourself - suggestion
Hello, thanks for contributing to Wikipedia.

I notice that your article seems to be about a term you or your research group coined. One of Wikipedia's principles is that you shouldn't write about yourself. Maybe wait until this topic is well-known and accepted widely and appears in textbooks and sources you have not written, and until then improve articles on topics that are well-known already?

Thanks for comments. The attempt is to build a dialogue, and provide the latest knowledge to Wikipedia. Emerging terms are always challenging, as they might exist commonly in a tacit form in the community without a third party knowing that. Bringing the terms into an explicit and public form facilitates the dialogue, and does so especially between the different disciplines of science, and with the public. Naturally, those terms that eventually become main stream are to be adapted, and those that become marginalized can be wiped out. For this issue, there is a clear need for a separate term. For what it could be, other suggestions are also welcomed. This builds the dialogue. Vlehtola (talk) 09:14, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your reply. I'm sorry, but a principle on Wikipedia is that articles can't be about neologisms, meaning terms invented by you but not used by anyone else, or your own research. For an article to be appropriate, there must be secondary sources that are written by someone else, like textbooks. Perhaps if you want to help improve the physics content on Wikipedia you could look at other topics on the physics list to see what articles on well-known topics could be improved? Or maybe you might want to host this content on a website you control, such as your blog? Blythwood (talk) 12:47, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
