Hello, March67. We welcome your contributions, but it appears as if your primary purpose on Wikipedia is to add citations to sources you may be affiliated with.

Editing in this way is a violation of the policy against using Wikipedia for promotion and is a form of conflict of interest. The editing community considers excessive self-citing to be a form of spamming on Wikipedia (WP:REFSPAM); the edits will be reviewed and the citations removed where it was not appropriate to add them.

If you wish to continue contributing, please first consider citing other reliable secondary sources such as review articles that were written by other researchers in your field and that are already highly cited in the literature. If you wish to cite sources for which you may have a conflict of interest, please start a new section on the article's talk page and add {{Edit COI}} to ask a volunteer to review whether or not the citation should be added.

Please reconsider Your opinion, as I have cited other authors I am not related with even more often. In due course, other contributors will surely add further sources and themes related to the important international and intercultural aspects I added. 2003:EE:F48:1A01:7158:C72E:EA9E:EEDB (talk) 17:00, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Waiting a bit and repeating the same edit will not help. MrOllie (talk) 11:18, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again:

Although under the heading of "Human-computer interaction" there is an explicit appeal to improve the section and to add sources (!), I am sorry to see that my attempts to add an important aspect and to improve contents is not at all understood by the censorship:

The paragraph about "poorly designed human-computer interfaces" contains two remarkable examples, but its last two sentences suggest that only "standard" interfaces -here: flight instruments- are not poorly designed and therefore good practice (without any reference). However, such standard interfaces may well fail if implemented on a global scale ignoring different cultural traditions, tacit knowledges and communication preferences. Exactly that is discussed in the example of a tragic collision of a Russian and a German airplane in 2002 (including source), suggesting the relativity of "poor" (or "good") interfaces (like flight instruments) as an important aspect of human-computer interaction.

I am sorry that all of this in not well understood, as it does not improve the qualtiy of Wikipedia contents, especially in this section. Is such ignorance a peculiar Wiki phenomenon? I do not hope so, but I have lost a lot of motivation to use and to engage in Wikipedia.

Sincerely,

Preventing self-promotion is not 'censorship'. If you are a subject matter expert, you are no doubt familiar with a range of sources of diverse authorship. If you are here to build an encyclopedia and not to self-promote, kindly cite those instead of yourself. MrOllie (talk) 19:08, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
