Talk:Quasiparticle interference imaging

A good start, but...

[edit]

This topic should be on Wikipedia, but there is a lot needed first. An incomplete list.

  1. Read WP:NOTHOW. You need to avoid "how-to" guide information.
  2. Sources go everywhere. For instance #Sample Preparation, #Setpoint effect and others have no sources.
  3. Claims must be sourced. For instance the sentence "Shortly after, it was suggested that it is also a triplet superconductor, a claim refuted more recently." lacks sources for both the coaim and refutation.
  4. KISS, always.
  5. As with all science articles, items in formulae must be defined.
  6. Beware of duplicating existing content. You need to read the assorted other STM pages and track their "See Also" sections -- literature tracing as in all science.
  7. You may want to post at WT:PHYSICS to get help. I know some but not all of the literature, there are orobably others who know more.

You have taken on an ambitious project. Ldm1954 (talk) 18:45, 3 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Dear ldm1954,
many thanks for taking the time to review the draft! I have tried to implement the suggested improvements, but realise that it won't be perfect (but I guess one of the benefits of wikipedia is that the page can evolve even after acceptance). Some specific comments:
re 2: I have added references, except for '#sample preparation' and the section describing the Intuitive picture, where I have added cross-references to relevant wikipedia pages (it would be difficult to find original references there). I can try to find a reference to a textbook though if referencing other wikipedia pages is not sufficient.
re 3: I have added references for the claims, and also more references which I would consider relevant to the topic in general.
re 5: I believe that symbols are now defined. I have tried not to repeat definitions, but that could be easily fixed it it would be better if symbols are defined after each equation.
re 6: I agree, and am not completely sure how to best navigate. There is naturally some overlap, but I believe that is unavoidable to keep the page somewhat self-contained, but am happy about any advice where, e.g., there is too much overlap. I have now also added a 'See also' section so that people know where to read more, e.g., about some of the more technical details of STM omitted here. Pwstauk (talk) 00:01, 4 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I have tried to address also what was mentioned in the teahouse and will try to resubmit the current version. For full disclosure, I work in the field and am co-author of some of the references, but believe that the account is balanced (though happy to hear other opinions).

I am struggling with checking a paper, so may not look at it for a bit. I am at the edge of the field, having heard quite a few talks on the topic, but not a true expert.
I suggest that you add a more specific disclosure, for instance a section similar to Talk:Fiveling#Self citation disclosure, edited as appropriate. Ldm1954 (talk) 18:57, 5 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, I have added something more specific, hope that works. No worries if it takes a bit, I'll try to keep working on it when I have time in the meantime, and maybe others will contribute. Pwstauk (talk) 21:38, 5 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
