Topology optimization - possible WP:SELFCITE
Hello, Chrlundg. We welcome your contributions, but it appears as if your primary purpose on Wikipedia is to add citations to research published by a small group of researchers.

Scientific articles should mainly reference review articles to ensure that the information added is trusted by the scientific community. Adding citations to research papers published by you or your colleagues can also violate the policy against adding original research to Wikipedia articles.

Editing in this way is also a violation of the policy against using Wikipedia for promotion and is a form of conflict of interest in Wikipedia -- please see WP:SELFCITE and WP:MEDCOI. The editing community considers excessive self-citing to be form of spamming on Wikipedia (WP:REFSPAM) and the edits will be reviewed and the citations removed where it was not appropriate to add them.

Finally, please be aware that the editing community highly values expert contributors - please see WP:EXPERT. I do hope you will consider contributing more broadly. If you wish to contribute, please first consider citing review articles written by other researchers in your field and which are already highly cited in the literature. If you wish to cite your own research, please start a new thread on the article talk page and add requestedit to ask a volunteer to review whether or not the citation should be added.

 * I have kept a trimmed version of your contribution as brief mention in the article though. Aside from the self-citing aspect explained above, please note that various aspects should be presented in due weight relative to each other and their prevalence in scientific publications. Also, in a general-knowledge encyclopedia content should be as accessible as possible for regular readers without scientific background - although that's often very difficult to accomplish for complex topics. I hope these tips are helpful, but please feel free to ask or post at WP:Teahouse, if you have further questions. Best regards. GermanJoe (talk) 16:47, 1 December 2018 (UTC)
