User talk:Dorian Gerhold

Welcome!
Hello, Dorian Gerhold, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was London Bridge, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way.

Authorship, original research etc
Thank you for your very valuable edits at London Bridge. Most of what was above this message did't apply to you, so I removed it. But at some point (and likely sooner than later) someone other than me is going to notice that you have cited your own published work in the article. You've been honourably transparent in providing what I assume to be your real name (or even a pen-name, it would amount to the same thing) on your user-pages and in edit-summary headers. As far as the Wikipedia rules are concerned, adding your own works to a subject reading list counts as both WP:SPAM and WP:COI, especially if you've used your own publications as sources for contributions to the text of the article concerned.

Sometimes, on the other hand, other editors just happen across work that impresses them, and are happy to use that work on articles. Just saying... kind regards, Haploidavey (talk) 18:40, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
