 * Dr. Dawson, just for the hell of it I'll leave you a link to WP:COI, our policy on conflicts of interest. Happy editing, Drmies (talk) 02:39, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks Drmies, very helpful. Will keep in mind, will carefully consider before self-citing again. Drphillipdawson (talk) 02:55, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Different editors look at that differently. I don't have much of a problem with it if the citations are good--that is, decent journals and such. You won't be surprised that some of our colleagues, like the ones who publish in the various publishing mills, have a tendency to overdo it. But good scholarship is certainly still needed here. Happy days, Drmies (talk) 20:17, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
