Welcome!
Hello, Spartakus123, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions, such as your edit to the page Antisemitism, seem to be advertising or for promotional purposes. Wikipedia does not allow advertising. For more information on this, please see: If you still have questions, there is a new contributors' help page, or you can. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia: I hope you enjoy editing Wikipedia!

Good morning. I happened to see your note on Malik Shabazz's talk page regarding the links to your book. One problem is that your links do not point to "central points on relevant pages" - they go to a commercial site that presents a brief general summary of the book's contents and offers the book for sale. That violates WP:PROMO rather specifically. The other problem is that any referencing of a source of your own creation violates Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines. I hope this does not discourage you from continuing to edit here, as we need and welcome contributions from knowledgeable people. When you wish to cite a source that you have written yourself, you can suggest the specific edit you have in mind on the article's talk page; one of us will review it and, if appropriate, include it in the article. If you have any questions, Malik or i (or any other veteran editor) will be happy to try to answer them. Best, DoctorJoeE  review transgressions/ talk to me!  14:46, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

Hi, Many thanks for your e-mail. I utterly understand the point about the commercial website. Also, I hope you understand that as a scholar if I rely on certain source for my information, I need to give reference, even if it is my own research. Otherwise, it is plagiarism. I will be more careful in self-citing. Best
