[edit] Assessment request

My wife created this article, because she couldn't find any related information in Wikipedia.

I helped her with Wikipedia technicalities, but i don't know anything about physics, so i can't help her improve it more.

It needs assessment - is it acceptable per "no original research"? The article is based on her master's thesis, but it is referenced.

It may also need better context. We tried to create an opening paragraph that fits the Wikipedia style, but i feel that it can be better.

Thanks in advance. --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 15:54, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

I think this article needs some graphs, charts, pictures to substantiate itself. The article also basically starts off with a rather remote concept that the average layman won't understand...

The 2nd part on the existing model is still pretty complex...

The link on the Dember effect also needs some more explanation, more context and material.

Actually, I still dont get what these models mean, because the only photovoltaic effec I know is the Solar cell.

Perhaps some kindoff graphical explanation might spice up this article alot more.

More internal linking might help too!

I think it's a very nice article. Of course, like anything in the world, one could imagine ways for it to be even better, but I don't think anything urgent. Certainly it's not original research. In fact, if your wife feels comfortable and able to do so, she could put the master's thesis itself as an "External link"...it sounds like it might provide more detail and context for interested readers. That, also, would not violate any wikipedia policies, see here. --Steve (talk) 15:41, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
