Wikipedia: The Reference/Citation Problem.

[Steam Turbine]

So!!!
I have added quite a bit of info in the "Construction" (thecnical aspect of e-cigs) section of the Wikipedia article and I find myself with a citation problem.

If you don't know how Wikipedia works, here is a brief "how it works":

Any body can edit any article. Every thing that users add to an article as to be references by a valid 3rd party. 3dr parties can be Scholars, news agency with a good reputation, patents, specialists etc. Reference may not come from: Blogs, vendors, advertising of any sort etc.

So here is my problem:

Valid references are very hard to find in the e-cig world about the technical aspect of advanced devices (rba's, Mechs, APVs etc) since the industry is oh so very young.

• The news outlets don't talk about them in a technical POV, all they care about is legislation and health hazards/benefits.

• Most of the more advanced electronic devices or mechanical devices are not patented.

• Nobody went to college to learn how to build a PV so there are no Ph D. to be found that could validate the information.

So all there is left are manufacturers and vendors that do have the correct information about how these things actually work. This is not allowed by Wikipedia rules.

Anybody know where technical information about APV, Mechs, RBAs etc... can be found? I don't care about cig-a-likes, the info is already there.

That's a tough one...

But here's a bump for you.
Good luck.
