Ways to improve VITO experiment

Hello, Madeleinehales,

Thank you for creating VITO experiment.

I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

The core subject of this article is a bit unclear. It appears to be intended to be about an experiment, but it leads with "is a permanent beamline". Make sure the topic is clear and provide some further context for people who have never heard of VITO, ISOLDE, beamlines, etc. It may be worth splitting the lead into two paragraphs to accomplish this.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Siroxo}}. Remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Thank you for taking the time to review the page.

I have (hopefully) cleared up the confusion about whether it's a beamline or not. The title of the page reflects the typical format of a CERN page which describes experiments, setups and detectors as the "___ experiment".

I have also added some context about the ISOLDE facility, both in the lead and the experimental setup, as well as a brief overview of the experiment. Please let me know if I still need to add more? (I am relatively new to Wikipedia so I will leave you to remove the tags if I have fully addressed those issues).

Thanks, I think it's in a pretty good state, so I've removed the maintenance templates. —siro χ o 18:38, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Paraphrasing

Hi again, and thanks for all your recent contributions!

I wanted to point one thing out. I've noticed a few instances in your recent articles which are risking what is called Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. I'm confident this is all in good faith, as in your articles it's always been short, generally a sentence or less, and accompanied by an inline citation. I don't think anything I've seen actually risks a copyright violation. However, it's something to take a bit of care with. When in doubt, you can use a direct quote or attribute your paraphrase to the source in the text of the article(i.e. "According to Smith et al., ...") with the same citations you're using.

Hope this helps. Thanks again for these new articles! —siro χ o 19:13, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the advice, that helps a lot! I will use more quotations when necessary going forward :)

Congrats! I should add that the article is very much an orphan, it would be nice if you could add a link or two in other entries to connect it to the wider encyclopedic corpus. Best, Superboilles (talk) 19:59, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for reviewing and accepting the article! Yes, I will make sure to do that :)
