Is this the right place to talk? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Co2clean (talk • contribs) 17:39, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
I view myself as an expert on CO2 cleaning and I feel it is possible to edit this page without being unfair. My technical publications have been neutral as they are peer reviewed. My conflict is only on one of the 4 CO2 cleaning methods. Presently, I feel the page has errors, misstatements, and weak on technical details. I have a COI on one process and the present page seems to reference me a lot without my doing it. To date, i have cleaned (corrected) up the references to myself, added a reference that is relevant. I plan to delete ref 4 and replace it with a 2016 refernce, a book chapter that is highly detailed. I am not sure how to state the COI conflict when editing, but i will try to be impartial as much as possible. One paper, reference 8 and 12 are duplicates. I will try to remove one.

PS, I have a COI on snow, not on the other three methods.
changes suggested and fixes Intro paragraph {{My Comments here}} Suggested change is below. Carbon dioxide cleaning (CO2 cleaning) comprises a family of methods for parts cleaning and sterilization, using carbon dioxide in its various phases.[1] It is often preferred for use on delicate surfaces.[2][3][4]:275 {{ Not true - pellets can clean structural item such as eletrical generators, painted steel. Snow can clean tough and strong materials too. However, pellets are not for anything delicate and snow samples must be supported. see change 1}} - CO2 cleaning has found application in the aerospace, automotive, electronics, medical, and other industries.[5][6] {{This is so limiting see below change 2}} Carbon dioxide snow cleaning {{saying snow cleaning limits the range and raises a COI for me, I suggest delete this sentence and use #3. This covers pellets and snow}} and has been used to remove particles and organic residues from metals, polymers, ceramics, glasses, hard drives, optics, and other surfaces.[4]:270
Suggested changes: 1 - Many types of surfaces can be cleaned, from structural items to delicate parts. (this is new sentence 2) 2 - CO2 cleaning has found application in the aerospace, automotive, electronics, semiconductor manufacturing, medical, optics, basic and applied research, and a myriad of other industries.[5][6] 3 - Carbon dioxide cleaning methods has been used to remove gross contamination such as greases, paints, plastic and polymer layers, particles of all sizes (down to nanometers), hydrocarbon and organic residues from metals, glass, ceramics, polymers, wafers, hard drives, historical and art objects, and many more.[4, 6]
if no objections, i will try this tomorrow. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Co2clean (talk • contribs)
I added a few sentences on liquid and supercritical CO2. There is no COI on these. I wonder if I should do a separate page on snow cleaning even with my COI. What is here is just mediocre and i can try a better and longer page and try to be fair. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Co2clean (talk • contribs) 20:01, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
