Hi Dancter

Thanks for your e-mail. I reviewed posting guidelines before posting links for "further reading" to my academic articles that are available for free on the Social Science Research Network. Per the guidelines, I am not selling anything and am only linking when there is a clear connection to the subject matter of the article that I have published in an academic journal (where I am the copyright holder) and where no one else has included a link with the same infomation as an external link or reference to the Wiki entry. I appreciate your note and am glad that active monitoring is occuring here. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kellym133 (talk • contribs) 04:17, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

"Promotional purposes" includes more than just financial gain. At the very least, I would appreciate it if you didn't list your works at the top' of the lists. Due to the inherent conflict of interest in listing your own works, prioritizing them as such tends to set off the radars of spam and POV watchdogs. They should either go on the bottom if the lists are unordered, or according to scheme already established, such as alphabetical. Also, the fact that you are rather mechanically listing your works in articles, rather than using them to contribute organically to the actual article texts is a cause for concern. If you have content that is of value to Wikipedia readers, why not add it to Wikipedia, and use your published works as references? In the future, please try and comment and discuss your additions in the article talk pages beforehand. Dancter 05:05, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Linkspam

This user has added some four dozen or more links (sample here) in what appears to have been just five days of editing. Best case scenario: the editor who spammed the links removes them voluntarily. Conscientious neutral point of view editors will remove them in any case. — Athænara ✉ 07:58, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• COI additions (some identical, some similar) by 147.134.170.33 have also been removed. — Athænara ✉ 19:32, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Response

I resent the use of the word "spam" by Athaenara to characterize my references; I am a tenured professor of law and am adding to the resource base of the relevant articles. I am pushing neither an agenda nor myself, but contributing to the material by way of further explanation of underlying theories that are only treated lightly in the entries themselves.

That said, Dancter's suggestion is a good one, and I will endeavor to add content to the actual entries themselves in an attempt to flesh out some of the academic debate concerning the subjects covered and then include citations to my fuller works in the references as opposed to seperate sections for further reading. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kellym133 (talk • contribs) 21:27, April 4 2007 (UTC)

What Dancter actually said was "comment and discuss your additions in the article talk pages," which is in accordance with Wikipedia policies and guidelines, seven of which are linked on this page.

Please read and respect them—they apply to every contributor to this encyclopedia regardless of individual credentials. You may understand the processes better if you read the Consensus policy page as well. — Athænara ✉ 23:41, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
