SIMPLE[edit]

I notice you created a version of the SIMPLE (dark matter) article in your userspace (aka here User:Esdacosta/SIMPLE (dark matter) and tried to place it into the main space (aka with all the other articles on Wikipedia). If you think it's ready for inclusion in Wikipedia, go in your article and on the top right of your interface, next to the search bar, should be an arrow with a drop down menu giving you two options "Move" and "Purge". Click on move, and give the new title of the page (aka "SIMPLE (dark matter)") and the page will be moved into Wikipedia.

If you find this confusing, I can also do it for you if you want. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 00:18, 29 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In a similar vein, I noticed that you attempted to add information about this detector to the dark matter page. I think this is a good idea, though nearby prose would have to be adjusted (this seems to be a slightly different type of detector from what the intro to the paragraph describes).

I've started a thread at WT:PHYS#SIMPLE (click to get to it) where you can ask people for advice on how to best start an article about this detector. If I'm reading correctly, you're one of the researches involved with it, so having someone at arms' length reviewing and editing it would help avoid WP:COI concerns.
