Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. MrOllie (talk) 17:58, 17 September 2010 (UTC)

Self-citations
I actually came here to give a very similar message to the one given by MrOllie above in September 2010. As a general rule under the conflict of interest guidelines, we very strongly recommend against self-citations (that is, adding citations to articles that you yourself have written). In some cases, it can be okay, especially if it's very clear that the information is directly relevant to information in the article. However, on Action learning, all you added was your papers to the Bibliography, with no new information in the text. Note that Wikipedia Bibliography's are only for citations that directly support material in the article, not for general papers in the field. The basic idea is that if your work is notable enough to the field, someone else will eventually add it to the article. You can't use Wikipedia as a means of self-promotion. So, I have removed your name from the list of researchers and the citations you added. Again, you can still edit the article, but you have to be very careful to meet all policies, including WP:NPOV. If you have any questions, please raise them on the article's talk page. Qwyrxian (talk) 22:12, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
