Information icon Hello, Milbarros. 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.

Hi MrOllie, thank you for your message. What you have described was exactly what I did. My apologies for transgressing the Wikipedia rules. It should not come as an excuse, but the references that I added were appropriate and were not put in bad faith. I understand that in light of the stronger human and AI-driven misinformation that we currently are under, your resources should not be spent in a situation such as this one. I should have known better. Thanks for the sources. 62.107.66.246 (talk) 22:32, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
