I can only second this! Wikipedia articles are meant to cover only
material that is supported by the referenced literature. Suggested
solutions have to be published elsewhere first before they can be
summarized and referenced in Wikipedia. Anything else will/should not
survive there for very long and will hopefully be removed for being
"just a personal pet theory".
