Welcome!
editHello, Kmcke14, 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 complete the student training, 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.

It is because I have done the traning 3 times by a mistake .. that's it Thilini ukwaththage (talk)
Article feedback
editNice work creating the edible water bottle article. One problem though is that the article does not have a proper lead section - a short (1-3 paragraph summary) that covers all the major points of the article. It should begin with a single-sentence statement of what the topic is - something like
Edible water bottles are [whatever they are].
From there, you should go on to cover the key points of the article. Since the lead is a summary of the body of the article, there shouldn't be anything that's in the lead that isn't also in the body of the article.
One other thing to bear in mind - some of the language in the article seems a bit too enthusiastic. "Award winning" shouldn't be in the article, although awards won are worth mentioning (especially major awards). Statements like "Before the Ooho replaces the billions of plastic water bottles in use today" don't belong in Wikipedia either - they are premised on the idea that these bottles can replace "billions of plastic water bottles". Instead, you should say what the challenges are in getting the bottles to market. Neutral language is important for encyclopaedia articles. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 20:51, 7 December 2015 (UTC)
Picking articles
editIt looks like you are up to speed on editing. 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) 16:51, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
Possible articles for project
- Franz Penning (Stub)
- Electron ionization (Start class)
- Electron transfer dissociation (Stub)
- Mass-analyzed ion-kinetic-energy spectrometry (Stub)
- LC-MS (Stub)

- I'm putting you down for electron transfer dissociation. This is an important article to expand. --Kkmurray (talk) 15:22, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
Bibliography
editI'm commenting on the references here: User talk:Kmcke14/sandbox2 If you use this link you will be able to mark up your references like this:
- Syka, J. E. P.; Coon, J. J.; Schroeder, M. J.; Shabanowitz, J.; Hunt, D. F. (2004). "Peptide and protein sequence analysis by electron transfer dissociation mass spectrometry". Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. 101 (26): 9528–9533. doi:10.1073/pnas.0402700101. ISSN 0027-8424.
Use asterisk to make a bullet. You can use this tool to format a web link such as #7 nationalmaglab.org. You can use this tool to create references from Google Books search results:
- Chhabil Dass (11 May 2007). Fundamentals of Contemporary Mass Spectrometry. John Wiley & Sons. ISBN 978-0-470-11848-1.
However, you should use secondary sources (reviews) wherever possible.
In the article itself, you need to add more text to go with the references. --Kkmurray (talk) 16:01, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
