Experts in Wikipedia
Hi Javier, and welcome again to Wikipedia. Looking at your edits, you appear to be a protein biochemist or the like. We love experts here. But please be aware that Wikipedia is kind of a strange place. There are links in the welcome message above that explain Wikipedia generally, and there is an excellent essay that was written to help experts get their feet on the ground in Wikipedia - it is here: WP:EXPERT. Please do read that. Also, going forward, please refrain from citing your own work - for an explanation of why, please see our conflicts of interest guideline (WP:COI) and especially the section, WP:SELFCITE. Happy to discuss if you have questions about anything in WP - you can write them here as I am now "watching" this page. Again, welcome! Jytdog (talk) 14:50, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Oh - I also wanted to mention that within WIkipedia there are what we call "Wikiprojects" which are more-or-less formal groups of editors with interest and expertise in a given topic. If you look at the talk page of the Protein–protein interaction article you edited (every article in Wikipedia has an associated talk page, where editors discuss content and work out disagreements - you access it by clicking the tab that says "Talk" at the upper right corner of the article) you will see "banners" at the top of the Talk page that indicate that the protein-protein interaction article is within the interests of two such groups, WP:WikiProject Molecular and Cell Biology and WP:WikiProject Computational Biology.  You can join a group by signing on its main page, and there are often discussions of interest on the associated Talk page.  Jytdog (talk) 14:55, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

WP:COI
Hello, Javier De Las Rivas. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Notfrompedro (talk) 15:31, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Protein–protein interaction. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.

Hello, Javier De Las Rivas. 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.

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 a 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.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at RNA-Seq, you may be blocked from editing. Notfrompedro (talk) 17:44, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you use Wikipedia for promotion or advertising, as you did at Protein–protein interaction. Notfrompedro (talk) 17:48, 12 June 2021 (UTC)  You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abuse of editing privileges. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:.
