EsyN article
editHello, I've just read this article and thanks for creating it. I'm a bit concerned that the article might not have enough citations proving that this is a well-known piece of software in bioinformatics and notable enough to have an article on it. Are there any more you can add? I'm worried since the article might get deleted otherwise. Please just let me know if you've got any questions. Blythwood (talk) 18:07, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

editHello Dr. Favrin, thanks for getting back to me. Below I write some comments with links to Wikipedia policies on articles.
- The article is an article on the software, not a user manual. Don’t describe features of the software like a how to use guide like the bit 'using our api with the following code' - put that on your blog. I have removed this part.
- You can cite a link to Google Analytics if the link is available to see. Otherwise better leave it.
- Please remember to say that you develop this software when making edits and corrections, since people need to know that. And in future it is best to avoid writing an article on your own work. Below I put a full explanation of this - it is an automatic message.
Really simply, if an article about a piece of software doesn't cite sources not by the person who wrote the software, the software is judged not to be notable enough for a Wikipedia article, and the article can be deleted immediately, right then. So I would add the other papers as they come in. Or let me know I will add them.
Otherwise all the best - let me know if you have any questions. Blythwood (talk) 19:44, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
