Information icon Hello, I'm EvergreenFir. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to Hearing Voices Movement because it appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Hearing Voices Movement has been reverted.
Your edit here to Hearing Voices Movement was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://psychologicalkeys.blogspot.gr/2013/09/107-voices-in-my-head.html) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, fansite, or similar site (see 'Links to avoid', #11), then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 19:48, 24 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I removed your link because (1) it's an article you yourself authored and goes against the "no original research" policy and (2) was a link to a blog which are not considered reliable sources. The addition of material which you created or are party to is typically seen as self-promotion on Wikipedia. Also, on Wikipedia, all regular editors are equal regardless of degree, schooling, or rank. I also recommend you read WP:REALNAME as the use of your real name is somewhat discouraged on Wikipedia.

To clarify, you can cite your own work, but it should come from an established, peer-reviewed source as opposed to a self-published source like a blog. If such a source exists, it would benefit the article to insert footnotes into the article body instead of listing it as an external link. --Drm310 (talk) 20:44, 24 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
