I've been working on an article and would like to have it scrutinized for validity and potential COI, considering my experience with the subject's parent company. Should I jst post something in the Teahouse with a link, or would the right experts find it based on this message? It's at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Scalapaedia/subpage

Publication through wp:AfC is the best option for new users and users who feel they may have COI. Just put {{subst:submit}} at the top to submit it for review. Happy editing! Happy Squirrel (talk) 18:53, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

I'd say the quality of the sources could be better. For example, The DSSV damper design has also been popular and successful among teams competing in international-level endurance races - that statement cites three sources, but all three are Multimatic press releases. While it's unsurprising that they say their own product is "popular and successful", such a claim would need independent verification. A good place to ask for more specific help, beyond submitting it for a review as Happy Squirrel suggests, would be the talk page of a relevant WikiProject, say WT:WikiProject Automobiles or WT:WikiProject Motorsport.

Standardized heading capitalizations

As you can see from Wikipedia:Writing better articles capitalising each word in a heading is the opposite of the standardised wikipedia practice. Please discontinue such edits. --Falcadore (talk) 09:53, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
