Citing yourself on Wikipedia
[edit]Hello Amroberts! It's great to have an expert such as yourself on Wikipedia, and I'd wish you would edit more often. Of course, it is natural that when a researcher edits Wikipedia they are sometimes going to cite their own work. However, please be aware that it is not acceptable to add references to your own work without there being a very good reason for it in the context of the article. Just adding yourself in 'Further reading' sections, especially when the source cited would not be helpful for an average reader to get more familiar with the subject, is more likely to be regarded as spam (see WP:REFSPAM). Thank you for taking this into consideration, ☿ Apaugasma (talk ☉) 18:08, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
