Hello, Popecol. 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.

You have been deleting all my posts, despite me adding significant contributions and citations. Of course I am citing my work that is relevant and when it is the only citation available. However, I am also adding a lot of citations from other researchers and other published work but you are deleting those as well! You are overreaching and broadly deleting references and knowledge that is valuable to the community for no reason other than you because I posted it. Popecol (talk) 17:26, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
 * , Wikipedia is not a venue for you to promote yourself or your work, certainly not by spamming your work across dozens of articles using multiple accounts. MrOllie (talk) 17:29, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

I am promoting other people's work as well which you are also gleefully deleting as well. So it seems thanks to you I can't post anything at all. Popecol (talk) 17:31, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you use Wikipedia for promotion or advertising. MrOllie (talk) 17:28, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

So what can I do to be reinstated? I wish to delete all my accounts and just have one which I can contribute to. Popecol (talk) 16:09, 6 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Your original account, please. And note, accounts cannot be deleted. They can, however, be abandoned. --Yamla (talk) 16:10, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

Thank you. So will I be able to use my original account DrJoseV again? Following all of Wikipedia rules of course? Popecol (talk) 16:14, 6 May 2021 (UTC)
 * If you make an unblock request and it's granted, yes. --Yamla (talk) 16:16, 6 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I am a bit saddened to see that you completely failed to address the socking; we don't have much reason to accept your promises as long as you evade the fact that you socked to include references to your own publications from a number of accounts. As Yamla says, any unblock request that has a chance of success must come from the original account (User talk:DrJoseV), and must address both problem: the self-promotion and the socking.

I originally had an account with my name but decided it would be best to be anonymous so I created another account. I would forget my accounts when I would sign out or forget my password so would create others. I probably have others besides the ones cited that I forgot about. I also wasn't sure how to use wikipedia and wouldn't know I had messages. I only realized later one when I found that my posts were deleted. However, I understand now the importance of socking and how it affects wikipedia. Popecol (talk) 14:13, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
