Welcome

I saw your note on Talk:Lithium diisopropylamide. It is really helpful that you provided this heads-up. The article lithium diisopropylamide is rather good by our standards - it provides a general overview of this reagent, although it lacks in examples and mechanism, as you indicate. But almost all articles can be further improved, so we look forward to your contributions. Here are some guidelines:

• per WP:SECONDARY: focus on secondary references (reviews and books). Any idiot can cite a lot of journal articles, that takes little skill. The real benefits come from general sources that contextualize journal articles. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a competitor for Chemical Reviews. So be selective.
• per WP:COI: If you are associated with Collum, be careful about conflict of interest. Every research group around the world thinks that they are doing the best stuff and tend to downplay the contributions from others (another reason to focus on secondary sources).

Feel free to ask questions. And good luck, we need chemical editors!--Smokefoot (talk) 17:23, 30 August 2012 (UTC) s
