Christie is the man!

Welcome, but be careful
editWelcome to Wikipedia. Here are suggested readings: WP:SECONDARY and WP:COI. The gist of these guidelines are:
- Wikipedia prefers citations to reviews and books, not primary journal references (tens of thousands appear annually). Citing secondary sources is the encyclopedic style. We have no aspiration to compete with Chemical Reviews and related journals that cite primary literature.
- Do not cite yourself or your colleagues. It's called conflict of interest. Many new editors cite themselves mainly. That behavior is very inappropriate.
If you have questions, many editors can offer advice. Happy editing. --Smokefoot (talk) 14:33, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
