Happy editing!

Hello, MAPdP. 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. :Jay8g [V•T•E] 07:51, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Jay8g,Thank you for your message. I apologize for any inconvenience my edits may have caused. I understand the importance of avoiding conflicts of interest. I will use the info you provided to request a volunteer review. As a scientist and disseminator, I want the research I and my peers produce accessible to those who may not visit journals.I appreciate your guidance and will learn more about this process.

Hi again,

Could you please use the edit conflict of interest template to ask a volunteer to review the citation I added? I'm having trouble figuring out how to do it myself.

Thank you, MAPdP MAPdP (talk) 11:44, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
