Additions to reference sections
Hi, I notice you've added published works to the reference sections of numerous articles, without specifying the content actually referenced. Please add the relevant citations, or remove these books from the reference sections. Thank you, JNW (talk) 13:13, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Refining my message--you are adding publications by one author, Helene Mundler, which has the appearance of WP:BOOKSPAM. Thanks, JNW (talk) 13:23, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Dear Jnw,

You sent me a message apparently accusing me of adding "spam".

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "spam" in this context. I have simply put references to some of my publications online. I decided to do this because I noticed that a particular article of mine is referenced everywhere. Why? Because it's on Wikipedia. Since it is neither my best nor my most recent publication, I decided to add a few more references in the hope of being cited for my more worthwhile work.

 * Following up your response at my talk page, there are WP:COI concerns, as well as those of self-promotional intent with such edits. As stated in the guidelines I linked to above, references are to be added only if content in a Wikipedia article clearly derives from the cited source. Reference sections are not repositories for an author to list their own favorite works. JNW (talk) 13:40, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
