Citing your own work
I will point you to Wikipedia's guideline on the topic of citing your own work. It is allowed, within reason, but if done to excess, it will be considered a form of spam. You are recommended to propose the change and the new source on relevant article talk pages to gain consensus for the addition. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 13:06, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Failing to cite yourself as author does not change the impact of this policy. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 13:17, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

Hello, Rowaydas. 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.

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. MrOllie (talk) 13:48, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to add promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. MrOllie (talk) 14:04, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
