Reference spamming

Hello, Shosh2. 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. Adding citations to research papers published by you or your colleagues can also violate the policy against adding original research to Wikipedia articles.

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.

AfC notification: Draft:Louis Rosenblum has a new comment

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:Louis Rosenblum. Thanks! Robert McClenon (talk) 16:36, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

I am obliged to Robert for the edit suggestions. I am trying to move the external URL links to the end of the reference list but cannot figure out how to do this. There are a few URL's that I linked to in lieu of a reference right from the article draft. I know I need to move them to the end but I have the following questions and cannot figure it out from online help: 1) Is it permissible to say "see link below" after something for which I will post a link at bottom of page? 2) If not I'm concerned that the statements won't be allowed in the article. 3) Is there a command for creating a section at end called External Links? Or can I just create a subtitle delimited by ==? Thanks so much. Shosh2 (talk) 05:02, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

Robert McClenon, can you oblige? With regards to #3, Shosh2, you're correct. SITH (talk) 22:04, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

Thanks SITH! Shosh2 (talk) 23:38, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

Yes, it is permitted to say "see below". Robert McClenon (talk) 01:10, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
