Self-promotion
Regarding your addition of your own books to the list of secondary sources for Alcuin, Michael Ramsey and Dunstan: while you may well be a significant scholar, and your publications may well be significant additions to the articles in question, your own insertion of these references might well be considered promotion. Due to the inherent conflict of interest, it would be better if other editors added these sources, if, in fact, they are significant additions to the available information.
