Hello, OliverJHarman. 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.

 * Thanks Hans, still new to this. Totally makes sense and will do so with the EditCOI! (I spend a lot of time championing the work of others so will add these reliable secondary sources you speak to as well!) OliverJHarman (talk) 11:40, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
