Hello, Terod. 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.

Hello Mr Ollie

Please be advised that the addition of established academic references, who are experts in their field, enhances the reading list for wikipedia. I was merely updating the reading list. Please revert your changes, including the references that had been there for many years.

Thank you. Terod (talk) 19:30, 30 August 2020 (UTC)


 * You're typing experts but you've been adding a single author for years. That is promotional editing. - MrOllie (talk) 21:18, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
