Citation Spam
Hello, It seems that you are adding citations that contain a particular author to a number of articles. Pretty much every article you have edited. It is not difficult to see what is going on. It is known as citation spam and reduces the trustworthiness of Wikipedia. I have reverted a number of your changes and hoped that you would see the error of your ways without it having to be explicitly pointed out. However you have continued on spamming other pages since then. Please stop. Here is the official warning.

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. NeedsGlasses (talk) 07:28, 31 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi NeedsGlasses, Can you please help me out here. The references I added are valid for the points being discussed. Should the comments be made without reference? Or is just one reference preferred? I don’t see a clear line here. Does it reduce the trustworthiness of wiki if I cite peer reviewed and published research in scientific journals?! I am not linking to advertising, promoting a product or affiliated with the sites I have cited - so I also don’t see how the official warning applies? I’m not trying to be difficult, I just want to understand how I can contribute without issue. Kind regards One-light-in-the-darkness (talk) 07:46, 31 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Hello One-light-in-the-darkness,
 * Thanks for your reply. The spam element occurs if you have an association with the authors of the cited papers. Then it becomes a conflict of interest. Yes it does reduce the trustworthiness of Wikipedia if there is a conflict of interest. So even if a paper is relevant, if there is a conflict of interest you should not use it. It is better to make the comments without a reference. But if its the only paper in the world that happens to say something in particular, then you definitely shouldn't use it; because Wikipedia is supposed to be generally accepted knowledge. Who knew it could be this complex. Regards. NeedsGlasses (talk) 03:12, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi NeedsGlasses,
 * Is there an easy way that I can get the text back and remove the sources (or find less controversial ones)? I did put a few hours of work into those edits and several have been removed. I will try to stick to work published in textbooks from now on where possible.
 * Thanks One-light-in-the-darkness (talk) 09:18, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Hello One..., Nothing is ever lost on wikipedia. Look in the 'View history' tab and click on the date next of the version that you edited. Then edit the version and copy your text without saving it or it will overwrite the current version. NeedsGlasses (talk) 23:35, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
