Self-citing on Wikipedia

Hello, Taiga00. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
• disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
• do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.

This in particular applies to self-citing. If possible, always cite older, earlier sources. For example the "k-means is a MM variant of EM/Variational" claim, I am fairly certain I have seen this before in textbooks. In particular, "Revisiting k-means: New algorithms via Bayesian nonparametrics; B Kulis, MI Jordan" seems to be an earlier and much more suitable reference.
