The Interpretation of Dreams

edit

Hello, Ksergent527. Thanks for your edits to The Interpretation of Dreams. I noticed, however, that while adding content to the article, you removed some existing content without explanation. Please don't do that. If you are going to remove existing content from an article, you need to give a proper explanation for doing so. In due course, I will be restoring some of the content you removed from the article, given the absence of an explanation for its removal. FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 23:22, 16 November 2017 (UTC) Thank you for the note. The content I removed was inaccurate and vague. I replaced it with content grounded in citations from the book, making it more informative, specific, and evidence based. Ksergent527 (talk) 03:42, 18 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, Ksergent527. 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.
