Citing oneself
[edit]G'day, I noted your edits and have found a link to Wikipedia:COI#Citing_oneself which might be helpful. Generally as we've moved to more inline referencing, it is much better to not just place a reference as an external link at the end but use it to cite or correct pertinent facts. So as you've done with your edit here is better. If there are two sides to an argument, it's good to list both authors and points of view. Anyway, good luck.
