Hello, Kshirzad. We welcome your contributions, but it appears as if your primary purpose on Wikipedia is to add citations to sources you may be affiliated with.

Editing in this way is a violation of the policy against using Wikipedia for promotion and is a form of conflict of interest. The editing community considers excessive self-citing to be a form of spamming on Wikipedia (WP:REFSPAM); the edits will be reviewed and the citations removed where it was not appropriate to add them.

If you wish to continue contributing, please first consider citing other reliable secondary sources such as review articles that were written by other researchers in your field and that are already highly cited in the literature. If you wish to cite sources for which you may have a conflict of interest, please start a new section on the article's talk page and add Edit COI to ask a volunteer to review whether or not the citation should be added.

 * Hello there,
 * Thank you for your message and your attention to integrity. I have been working on the diverse applications of the Avrami equation for the past 3 years. When looking for resources, I had a hard time finding a review on the applications outside materials science. I ended up writing a review article on this topic myself, and decided to show it on Wikipedia so that other student like myself can have a smoother time finding resources. The paper has only been cited when appropriate.
 * Thank you. Kshirzad (talk) 23:19, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Also, I have cited other related articles on the topic as well. Kshirzad (talk) 23:21, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
 * You additions (both through this account and while logged out, registered under your IP address) have not been appropriate. And you have continued after receiving the above message about it. Kindly stop making these additions, review the relevant guidelines and policies linked in the above message, and proceed in the future by suggesting edits on the talk pages associated with the articles in question rather than inserting references to yourself into articles.

 * I sincerely apologize for any unintended violations of Wikipedia's guidelines.
 * I was not aware of the suggested edits via the talk page, and this was my first time using the talk section on Wikipedia. Additionally, I did not realize that referring to my published work multiple times on the same page would result in multiple appearances in the reference section. I genuinely thought it would be cited similarly to how articles are cited in a paper.
 * I acknowledge my oversight in not reviewing the guidelines thoroughly before making edits, and I assure you that my intention was not to violate any policy. I understand the importance of community collaboration on Wikipedia, and I am committed to contributing in a manner that aligns with the platform's guidelines.
 * I am in the process of reviewing the relevant guidelines you provided, and I will ensure that I follow the correct procedures moving forward. I appreciate your guidance in this matter.
 * If there are specific steps you recommend or if there's additional information I need to be aware of, please let me know.
 * Thank you for your understanding, and I look forward to contributing positively to the Wikipedia community. Kshirzad (talk) 23:46, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
