Hello, Line1wiki. 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.

 * Hi MrOllie, the edits made on the page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LINE1 is the correct set of edits. In fact the previous version was incorrectly citing only one work (Baldwin et al, 2023, citation #16 currently), and was missing the correct citation for our work (Thawani et al, 2023) that I had added. These two papers were co-published but only one was added on the wiki. Please see the co-publication: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06933-5
 * Another member of my scientific field reported this to me about the wiki page, therefore, I tried to corrected it. Can you please revert back the changes to the version I made on this page. You are welcome to keep all the previous versions on the other pages.
 * Otherwise, the current version of the page is incorrectly reporting the science, not the other way round as you may believe. Line1wiki (talk) 05:40, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I have edited this page again, this time to only keep the correct citation changes. These are the correct citations indeed, and not over-citing of self work or spamming. The change was indeed recommended by other scholars in this scientific field, that I am an active member of. Line1wiki (talk) 05:51, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is not a venue for you to self promote or to add citations of your own work. It doesn't matter if it was 'recommended by other scholars'. MrOllie (talk) 13:20, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
 * This is not self promotion. I am correcting errors that got included on the page on December 16th when someone last made the edits. If you want, you are welcome to revert changes to the version before Dec 16th. Because currently, the page has erroneous facts reported. I am trying to correct them but you keep reverting my changes.
 * Please let me know what I need to do, or whom I need to talk to in this case. Line1wiki (talk) 21:55, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
 * That your name is not in the page is not an 'error'. MrOllie (talk) 22:01, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Total misrepresentation of my edits. There are inaccurate statements in that paragraph that have already been proven inaccurate by other studies. One of those studies happens to be mine, therefore, I am reporting it and attempting to change it.
 * I left my comment in the talk page of this article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:LINE1
 * since you won't believe me here. Line1wiki (talk) 22:09, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
