Conflict of interest
Since it appears that you are writing about your own book, here's the guidelines about conflicts of interest:

Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 04:13, 19 July 2010 (UTC)


 * In regard to this comment on my talk page:
 * I am not writing about my book … I am writing about science
 * If you are writing about science and citing other people's worked published in reliable sources, there is no problem. If you are citing yourself, there is a problem. In the worst case, it can be viewed as self-promotion. In the most innocent case, it would still create issues with the restrictions against original research. —C.Fred (talk) 04:39, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
