Thanks for being so observant to notice that I have made a major overhaul of this article draft. I see, why this edit might raise some concerns regarding undisclosed payments, but rest assured that I have not received any payments or other benefits in exchange for this edit.
Therefore, I deny those accusations.
Please allow me to elaborate on my background and the motivation for working on this article: While I do not have a user page on the English Wikipedia, I do have one on the
German Wikipedia as well as on
Wikimedia Commons. I have been contributing to both since 2007, when I was an undergrad student at the university. I have mostly ceased from contributing to Wikipedia due to time constraints by now, but of course continue to cherish the project.
When I learned that an academic collaborator of mine wanted to add an article for Nextflow to Wikipedia, I was thrilled. It had never occurred to me, but I was immediately convinced that this is a good idea, because it is a very important tool for our research work and students might want to look it up when it is mentioned e.g. in the method section of scientific publications. However, I had to agree with
Onel5969, that the article in its previous form was written too promotional and partly incomprehensible. So I sacrificed a free afternoon (and unintentionally also the evening) to fix the (in my opinion) most blatant issues. Admittedly, it was way more work than what I initially wanted to put into the edit, but I also couldn't stop halfway through either, since I eventually ended up changing the entire structure.
I have tried to incorporate the criticisms expressed to the best of my ability, but agree that there should be an external review to ensure that haven't been too sympathetic with the subject. However, the suspicion that
Conflict of interest statement: I am employed by the Swedish National Genomics Infrastructure, which co-founded the nf-core community. Phil Ewels is a former colleague of mine, and I have met other core Nextflow/nf-core contributors at scientific conferences. I work with Nextflow daily, and it is fundamental for my work. However, I have not received any payments or other benefits for editing the article, and it was my own decision to devote my spare time to edit. I have no investments in or affiliations with Sequera, the spin-off company that maintains Nextflow. My real name is
Matthias Zepper, which you can use to verify this information.
Since the lack of references to substantiate the importance of Nextflow as notable scientific workflow system has been criticized twice, I have spent a whole Saturday gathering the scientific publications of numerous pipelines written in Nextflow. I appreciate that this is too much clutter for the main article, but before anyone criticizes for the third time that sources don't exist, I'd like to keep them around here for future reference.
The claim that Over the last five years, numerous pipelines for many different applications and analyses in the field of genomics have been published is backed by those references:
