August 2019 edit

  Hello, Sarisataka9000. We welcome your contributions, but it appears as if your primary purpose on Wikipedia is to add citations to research published by a small group of researchers.

Scientific articles should mainly reference review articles to ensure that the information added is trusted by the scientific community.

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

Finally, please be aware that the editing community highly values expert contributors – please see WP:EXPERT. I do hope you will consider contributing more broadly. If you wish to contribute, please first consider citing review articles written by other researchers in your field and which are already highly cited in the literature. If you wish to cite your own research, please start a new thread on the article talk page and add {{requestedit}} to ask a volunteer to review whether or not the citation should be added.

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you insert a spam link, as you did at Sturgeon. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted, preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites as well as potentially being penalized by search engines.Mr Fink (talk) 21:49, 23 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

 

You have been indefinitely blocked from editing Wikipedia for continuing to add spam links. If you wish to make useful contributions, you may place {{unblock}} on your user talk page to have the block reviewed. Persistent spammers will have their websites blacklisted from Wikipedia.

Request reason:

Hi there, I write environmental fish books and would like to let people know about my research so that they can use it to save our fisheries and environment. The recently blocked books I added to fish pages on Wikipedia represent books published by nonprofit university presses. I write these books and lose money, never even break even. Can you please unblock my recent edits so that people can find the information they need? Thanks, Mark SpitzerSarisataka9000 (talk) 22:24, 23 August 2019 (UTC).Reply

Decline reason:

No, sorry. If you wish to write about other subject areas, areas for which you have no conflict of interest, convince us you understand why those edits were inappropriate and tell us what you will write about instead. Yamla (talk) 23:14, 23 August 2019 (UTC)Reply


If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

We have a clear WP:REFSPAM policy against conflict-of-interest promotion here. You were warned to stop spamming links to your book, and you ignored them. No one is going to unblock you unless you are willing to stop engaging in promotion and can give us examples of non-promotional edits you intend to make.
