Welcome!

Hello, Ppiers2, 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.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 21:25, 18 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

Finding an article

edit

To find a good article to edit, check WikiProject Mass spectrometry, especially sections on articles by quality and importance: Wikipedia:WikiProject Mass spectrometry#Assessment; and articles by popularity: Wikipedia:WikiProject Mass spectrometry#Popular pages. There is also a tool that you can use to sort articles, for example Stub[1]and Start[2] class. Remember the goal is to move an article up two quality units: nothing to Start, Stub to C, or Start to B. --Kkmurray (talk) 02:40, 19 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

Possible topic choices for Mass Spec Project

edit

1. Charge-exchange ionization

Charge exchange ionization does not have a page of its own.

2. Sonic spray ionization

This also does not have its own page and i think it could use some work to increase its rank.

3. thermospray ionization

4. Atmospheric pressure chemical ionization

5. Desorption electrospray ionization

number 5 may be a little bit harder to bring up the quality, but it has not been working on in awhile and i feel that there is a lot more information that can be added to the page. In class we discussed that they both are older methods that aren't used as often if at all anymore. I still think they would be good pages to actually start. APCI has a bit more done to it but I feel there may be more work that can be done to it to bring the quality up to the level of the page that we need for the class. I feel that there are enough sources to fix these pages and make them a better page for our class.

Charge-exchange ionization and sonic spray ionization would need to be brought to start class. I don't think that there are specific reviews on them, but are plenty on ambient ionization. You can probably find sources for charge exchange. thermospray ionization, atmospheric pressure chemical ionization, and desorption electrospray ionization Start and need to go to B class. There are a lot of recent reviews on DESI and older reviews on APCI and thermospray. --Kkmurray (talk) 20:27, 13 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
