Citing yourself

Wikipedia is not the place to promote your own research. While citing your own papers is not forbidden, it should be done with caution. The relevant guideline is WP:SELFCITE which in part says Citations ... should not place undue emphasis on your work. Placing the same citation with more or less the same text in multiple articles (eight by my count) comes under that heading. I don't think you are entitled to write in Wikipedia that small-signal models and piecewise linear analysis are no longer necessary based on your own paper. Those are two very well established techniques and we can only say in Wikipedia that they have been superseded when other researchers have commented on your work and agree with you. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

I'd also like to draw your attention to two minor problems with your editing. Firstly, your misuse of the "minor edit" flag; these are not minor edits, see Help:Minor edit. Secondly, both British and American spellings are allowed on Wikipedia so changing a spelling system in an article can be controversial. See WP:ENGVAR for how to decide which one to use.

Why have you started putting these back? You have already been advised that is not a good idea. There are still no cites to your paper in gscholar from anybody at all. SpinningSpark 19:18, 18 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Why do you think your advice is supreme and cannot be challenged? After reading your advice, I have made changes in accordance to what is permitted. Even if self citations are made, they must be allowed if they add to vital information. You may see this as an advertisements but I see this as a necessary information for everyone in different applicable contexts in different pages. My article is published in the topmost peer reviewed journal of its area and does not require any google scholar citation to corroborate its correctness. I hope you have the ability to read and understand the article. I request you to reinstate the changes that I made else your action is a misuse of Wikipedia to justify your biased personal beliefs and your inability to understand the basics of electrical engineering.--Pragnan Chakravorty 20:43, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

You have a conflict of interest in these edits and should therefore obtain consensus for them on the article talk pages rather than directly insert them yourself. Citations are important because it shows us that other scholars have taken note of your work and whether or not it has become accepted. Your paper is a primary source, but Wikipedia articles should be based on secondary sources. SpinningSpark 12:50, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

October 2021

Hello, I'm Jc3s5h. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Electrical resistance and conductance have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. Jc3s5h (talk) 01:49, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
