Welcome!

Hello, Ecamp4, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

  • You can find answers to many student questions on our Q&A site, ask.wikiedu.org

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:56, 21 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

Picking articles

edit

Dont forget to practice talk page editing by introducing yourself on a classmates talk page. Now it is time to choose an article to create or edit. Pick 3-5 potential articles and list them below. A good place to start is WikiProject Mass spectrometry. At the bottom of the page is the table of articles by quality and importance (also here) and the list of popular pages (also here). Pick out some interesting stub ([1]) or start ([2]) class articles that you might like to edit. --Kkmurray (talk) 17:01, 2 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

Nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry looks like an interesting topic I could learn more about and not very developed at all and could use some good images.
Field desorption needs some more substance to it and to clarify the differences between it and field ionization as the Talk page says they are two different effects, yet when searching for field ionization you get redirected to field desorption.
Infrared multiphoton dissociation could use some diagrams to depict the method as well as practical applications for the method.
Surface-assisted laser desorption/ionization needs extensive work from history to applications.
These articles are all good topics that could hold a plethora of knowledge, but most need a good bit more depth to them. Ecamp4 (talk) 00:22, 3 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
I like nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry; that could be a really interesting article. You should be able to find some good images in open source journals, for example [3]. --Kkmurray (talk) 15:00, 13 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hey!

Just stopping to say hey and write on your talk page! Good luck finding articles for the project!! Nthom25 (talk) 23:45, 3 February 2016 (UTC)Nthom25Reply

Reviewing

edit

Hey Eden,yes of course. correct my any mistake, since I am an international student it will be very helpful.Thanks a lot. Thilini ukwaththage (talk) 08:10, 30 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Editing your article for NanoSIMS

edit

Hey Eden,

Your article is looking great with all of your edits. The explanation of how it works is very specific. I have some suggestions to help improve it.

  • Maybe mention information on sensitivity or selectivity of the method.
  • Is the any sample prep required?
  • Are there specific instrumentation or parts required?
  • Specific parts of the NanoSIMS. Refer to Secondary ion mass spectrometry to see how it organizes the individual parts.
  • Possibly make a 'see also category' and put Secondary ion mass spectrometry
  • How is it different from SIMS and some background on SIMS.
  • When I googled NanoSIMs, one suggestion was NanoSIMS Microbiology. Not sure if there are any reviews on this, but you could incorporate that into your article as well.

Overall, it is looking good. Please let me know when you have completely finished, so I can make grammatical edits and look over it again. Thanks! Nthom25 (talk) 17:50, 12 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
