Primary topic

User:Birkskyum This is an odd one, it is an umbrella term, but as per the Nobel Prize, there seems to be a WP:PRIMARYTOPIC Cryogenic transmission electron microscopy that the term Cryo-EM is synonymous with, but ambiguous. This should arguably redirect to that and have a hatnote to Cryogenic scanning electron microscopy or an WP:SIA. The existence of this poor WP:DABCONCEPT gets in the way of that (by one click, so no big deal). There's many incoming links so I didn't do that and left as is for now. It's not a natural WP:DAB either, or an WP:SIA. Saying that, a dabconcept may be OK. Widefox; talk 13:20, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Transmission electron cryomicroscopy which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 23:30, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Methods for small particle size

Starting a talk to resolve a recent reversion by User:Ldm1954 that noted "refbombing".

The original text notes only one group and their method, despite multiple group and methods being published. This is not neutral nor does it accurately reflect the current state of the field. Therefore, I revised with what I intended was a neutral tone and better summary (with cites accordingly). In fact, I would argue that the multiple methods is exactly what should be noted! This is a problem with multiple valid solutions.

Happy to discuss and find consensus text. Do you have suggestions for summarizing the current field User:Ldm1954? Dbsseven (talk) 14:22, 10 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I reverted the edit because it added 3 very recent articles without explaining what has changed in an encyclopedic fashion. In a journal we would just add the refs and move on, having done our due diligence on referencing the world. However, I think for an encyclopedia we need to add information, a bit like a review paper. If you expand the addition to a few sentences which describe in a little more detail what has been achieved of late then I would have no problems. (I confess that when I write in WP I often have to remind myself that it is not a journal...) Ldm1954 (talk) 15:52, 10 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I see your point. Though I was also trying to avoid being overly technical or excess detail. Will take another whack at it. Dbsseven (talk) 12:04, 11 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
