Please explain
Why are you adding references written by Heide, Markus to multiple articles?23:09, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Because I believe that these are pertinent research contributions to the issues discussed in the articles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MAXUPP (talk • contribs)
 * Using Wikipedia for promotional reasons, such as promoting the work of an author, is not allowed per WP:NOTPROMOTION. Please explain your connection to the author over at COIN (link below).ThatMontrealIP (talk) 00:13, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
 * The references are to articles I authored or coauthored. I do not do this for self promotion. I published articles on the issues addressed in the entries. I just started doing this and I first tried with my own articles. My idea was to edit other entries as well and to add more authors and references. In case I should remove the references, please let me know. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MAXUPP (talk • contribs)
 * Thanks. BY way of explanation, you are what we call an editor with a conflict of interest. We do consider adding sources to articles written by yourself to be promotion. You can edit anything you like on Wikipedia, but do not add sources or edit material related to your work. Plain as that. If you continue, your account will likely be blocked.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 00:52, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
 * thanks. I did not intend to self-promote. How do we solve the COI issue? Shall I remove what I edited? — Preceding unsigned comment added by MAXUPP (talk • contribs)
 * The main thing is to stop adding your own work to articles. We will check your edits. Other than that, please learn how to sign your comments. Thanks.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 11:04, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

Request edits
Adding multiple links to your own work, and as the first in lists of sources, is clear self-promotion and not what wikipedia is for. Your edits have therefore been reverted. If you genuinely think one of the sources or links has value for the encyclopaedia, then you are welcome to go to the relevant article's talk page and suggest it be included, and then editors who do not have your conflict of interest can determine if it should be added.
