Hi, I'm very new to Wikipedia and still learning the ropes. Thanks for your patience while I learn syntax and etiquette.

I have been spending most of my time on Wikipedia making edits to the UHMWPE page.

I am an engineer by training, but have interests in medicine, health care policy, Victorian architecture, and medieval music.

Your request for comment

I know nothing whatsoever about that article, so my suggestions will be scant:

1. Wait for comments from other editors to that article.
2. References should stay, since (hypothetically) something in the article uses each one as a source
3. Further reading should probably not include commercial links, but academic papers, technical literature, reviews etc. are probably fine
4. Be patient with "restructuring"-type edits. Wait for feedback on the talk page (ie. don't change it tomorrow. give it a week, a month - this depends on the article). If the article falls within the scope of a wikiproject, you can perhaps find an active editor from there, or look in the page history, and ask for comment (since often people don't check talk pages).

Good luck! – Mike.lifeguard | ^talk 04:57, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
