Hi C.Cochrane,
Welcome to the Appropedia wiki. Please make yourself at home! If you need a general wiki-tutorial, see the main help page (or the more in-depth one on WikiEducator).
Check your preferences and be sure you verify your email address and turn on email notification if you'd like it -- you can find out when your talk page, or any page on your watchlist, is modified. You may want to upload a photo or information about yourself to your userpage (which is at https://www.appropedia.org/User:C.Cochrane).
If you have a particular interest or project in mind, go ahead and start it! If you have questions or suggestions, the best place to leave them is at the Village pump - you should get a fast response. Or, feel free to leave me a note on my talk page if you have further questions, need help finding your way around, have a cool idea for a project, or just want to chat.
Glad to have you here!
Project[edit source]
Great beginning.
Recommendations:
- Formatting: tie into appropedia with hyperlinks, also wikipedia defs.,. use existing site resources to explain basic concepts
- Content: you need to get into the peer reviewed literature in a major way - MBE is well established - lots of work has been done on process improvements, after a complete review - choose one of them and then quantify the improvements to efficiency.

Peer Review[edit source]
Hey Chris. It's Michael de Souza. Sorry it took me so long to get started on the review of your project page. I apologize and I'm going to be working on it today (Wednesday) and putting any final comments in tomorrow. I read the content on your page and I think you did a good job at explaining how both the system and actual process works for MBE. I'll read it over a few more times, along with the wikipedia article on MBE.
Just a couple comments on grammar and format for now:
- I also still have to do this with my project page; I think it'll be a good idea to place references/links to wikipedia throughout your article. For instance, you mention Boltzman's constant; it would be useful to link it to the Wikipedia article on Boltzman's constant. I myself am not exactly sure how to do this but as soon as I bring up the "how to" I'll post it here for you.
- There was one sentence under the heading Substrate Stage: "Upon the substrate holder is placed a material upon which the beams are to interact and the source material is to be deposited"
I guess you could rewrite that to sound something like "A material, on which the beams interact and source material is deposited, is placed upon the substrate holder."
- Also I'm not sure how Dr. Pearce will approach this, but I noticed that your patents are from 93 and 2000. I know I had spoken to him about my project and he had mentioned that it's good to keep referenced sources as recent as possible. But like I said, I'm not sure how this will be approached.
I'll add more here if I find anything else. All in all though, great job man.
Peace Michael
