Welcome

Hello, Connordfc, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions so far. Here are a few important links for newcomers:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Wikipedia:Reliable sources and Wikipedia:CITE
• How to edit a page and How to develop articles
• Manual of Style and Writing better articles
• Editing by consensus – working well with other Wikipedians

If you'd like some help with editing, you can sign up at the new users log or ask me on my discussion (talk) page. If you need other help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, post a question at the Help Desk, or ask me.

Please sign your messages on discussion pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. It is always wise to read the most recent entries at the bottom of the talk page of an existing article before making major changes to it. Before I make a major change to an article, I often make a proposal on the talk page to see if anyone minds.

Again, welcome! -- Ssilvers (talk) 21:05, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

Sockpuppets

I am blocking your account for one week for sockpuppetting on the Fuel cell article. I have blocked your accounts User:LhamillFC, User:Briannabesch, and User:Pfchea. Do not use multiple accounts after the block expires, or you may be blocked indefinitely. Keegan (talk) 07:38, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

Welcome back

Welcome back. I read your introduction on your user page. I welcome your expertise in updating these articles. However, to achieve neutrality, you need to present the criticisms of the use of hydrogen fuel cells in transportation, as well as the aspirations of the fuel cell industry for which you are lobbyists. I was concerned that in the editing by some of the people on your team, sources were misused, and referenced information was deleted without discussion, which actually decreased the neutrality of the articles. I urge you to take care that your renewed editing follows our guideline WP:Conflicts of interest. I also note that the references that were added are missing crucial information. All references need (in addition to the url) the title of the article referenced, author name, publisher name, date and access date. See WP:CITE. I am happy to help with editing and referencing questions. At the top of this page, I have left you a number of very useful links that will help you if you review them. All the best! -- Ssilvers (talk) 14:38, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for your excellent e-mail. From time to time, other people weigh in on the Fuel Cell and Fuel Cell Vehicle articles, but no one has been very energetic about it for a while. Other editors will drop by eventually. There is no rush here; no deadlines, and people are busy with the projects that interest them most. I agree with you that these two articles both need a lot of improvement. Let's take it step by step; I'm sure that we will be able to improve them, and it's good that you have taken the initiative to do so. It is best to keep all the discussions on the talk pages of the articles themselves, so that other editors can follow our progress. Even though people have not been weighing in on these two articles, there are always several editors "watching" every page, and I guess they are satisfied with our process so far. By the way, it would be very helpful for you to edit some pages that have nothing to do with your work. Maybe pages about a hobby of yours or some historical person or thing that interests you, like Thomas Edison, or the French Revolution. That way, you could observe how other editors in various parts of the encyclopedia collaborate and use sources to make decisions about what is most important to say about a topic. I look forward to seeing your input on the articles. -- Ssilvers (talk) 22:06, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
