Hello, ORCID 0000-0001-9200-2828. 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.

 * Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. If you'd like to meet some other editors who are interested in improving Wikipedia's medicine-related articles, then please join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Medicine.  Click the "New section" button at the top of that page if you want to start a new thread, or join in one of the existing threads by clicking the [Edit] link next to the thread's title.  We don't have very many radiology folks at the moment, so I hope you'll stick around and help out. WhatamIdoing (talk) 18:42, 13 September 2020 (UTC)
