 * Thank you for your interest in improving Wikipedia. However, I would advise you not to cite your own work on Wikipedia; others might come to see that as an attempt at self-promotion (compare WP:SELFCITE). As an expert in the field, surely you are familiar with the literature beyond your own work and can use that expertise to improve our articles on Egypt and its society, economy and politics without relying primarily on your book. If you think there's an aspect missing that only your book can be used as a source for, then I'd advise you to edit the relevant article's talk page, to propose the change and to let independent editors assess whether it's an improvement.
