Hello, Jorik Jooken. We welcome your contributions, but it appears as if your primary purpose on Wikipedia is to add citations to sources you may be affiliated with.

Editing in this way is a violation of the policy against using Wikipedia for promotion and is a form of conflict of interest. The editing community considers excessive self-citing to be a form of spamming on Wikipedia (WP:REFSPAM); the edits will be reviewed and the citations removed where it was not appropriate to add them.

If you wish to continue contributing, please first consider citing other reliable secondary sources such as review articles that were written by other researchers in your field and that are already highly cited in the literature. If you wish to cite sources for which you may have a conflict of interest, please start a new section on the article's talk page and add {{Edit COI}} to ask a volunteer to review whether or not the citation should be added.

Dear MrOllie,

Thank you for reaching out and for the work you do in maintaining the quality of Wikipedia entries. I understand the importance of adhering to Wikipedia’s neutrality guidelines, and I want to assure you that my intention in making those edits was not to promote myself, but rather to provide well-researched information on a topic I care deeply about in order to present a more complete picture.

After reviewing the policy on self-promotion, I understand that adding references solely to research in which I was involved is discouraged, even when the source is credible. I fully accept this as the reason for the recent reversion of my edits.

However, I’m concerned that my contributions to the "Knapsack Problem" entry from November 2023 were also reverted. In that case, I included secondary sources alongside my own, and I believe those additions were justified. As someone who has invested significant time studying and publishing in this area, I believe the sources I provided add valuable context to the article.

I also want to emphasize that I’ve been completely transparent by ensuring my Wikipedia username matches my real name, allowing the community to see exactly who is making these edits. My only goal is to enhance the article by adding useful, verifiable information for the benefit of all readers.

I fully respect Wikipedia’s standards for objectivity, and I’d be happy to discuss any concerns you may have about my edits. I genuinely believe my contributions could improve the article, and I’m eager to collaborate on a solution that meets the community’s expectations.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,

In that case, I included secondary sources alongside my own No, you did not. The article history is clear. Also, this comment is flagged as AI-written by AI detection tools. Kindly write in your own words in the future. - MrOllie (talk) 14:02, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
