Citing publications of Michal M. Nikoletseas
After replying on my talk page I did some further checking on Nikoletseas's publications in WorldCat and found that, with the exception of his scientific works, they were all self published. I also looked at a few of your edits and found that you frequently cited Nikoletseas. I would strongly recommend against citing those self published works in Wikipedia. --SteveMcCluskey (talk) 14:46, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I have since noticed that the interests in the biographical note on your User page very closely matches Nikoletseas's curriculum vitae. If you are closely related to Nikoletseas, please review Wikipedia's guideline on Conflict of Interest. --SteveMcCluskey (talk) 14:55, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

Reply by ekplatonos Your criticism is based on the rules of Wikipedia and therefore is justified. I wonder whether it is easier to get science and literary books into libraries like Harvard or Berkeley than to have them published by some professional publishers. Lastly, let us not turn this into an ad hominem investigation. ekplatonos --Ekplatonos (talk) 10:33, 12 June 2015 (UTC)


 * I understand your point about difficulties of getting published.
 * A thought about editing Wikipedia. Wikipedia has its own rules about reliability, which flow from some problems in its early days with people who wanted to publish their own theories here.  Consequently, there's a general objection to citing oneself unless there's no other source.  These guidelines can be hard for established scholars.  I find it's easier to cite someone you've already cited in one of your own works than to cite yourself. Hope this helps you with your future edits.  --SteveMcCluskey (talk) 16:55, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

Reply by ekplatonos Yes, I understand the logic of the rules of Wikipedia. Wikipedia would degenerate into a graffiti board, were it to allow self-published works uncritically. By the way, my reference to difficulties was misread. I meant that it is very difficult to have a book added to the acquisitions of libraries like Harvard or Berkeley, more so if the book is not the garden variety of rehashing what is already known. It is easier to find a publisher. Regards, ekplatonos--Ekplatonos (talk) 10:33, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
