Happy editing!

Hello, SirtuinPhD. 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.




 * Thank you for your advice. I am sorry if I added inappropriate citations. I am new to editing and thought I start with adding references I found interesting and fitting to the topic. I aim to continue editing text, so I understand you correctly that we should preferably cite secondary sources or only older research papers with high citation counts?

 * It appeared that you had been adding the same references to a relatively large number of articles, which can bring the appearance that you are trying to promote those sources. I am in no way an expert in scientific topics, but Identifying reliable sources (science) provides good guidance on what sources are best to use. :Jay8g [ V•T•E ] 03:28, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you, I will revert the edits, and first have a look. SirtuinPhD (talk) 14:54, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
