Hello, UASLab. 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 a 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.

Hello MrOllie,

I understand. Nonetheless, while editing the topic "Control Theory" we're just adding a link to another wikipedia article. Could you explain your motivation to revert the changes? No cites/references were added.

It isn't one of the 'main techniques' so it doesn't belong on a list that is so titled. - MrOllie (talk) 20:53, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

Seems reasonable enoguh, I will get suitable references for the other sources.

On the other hand, I will kindly ask you to respect work that has been performed by other researchers, avoiding fallacies such as argumentum ad verecundiam. Thus, with your statement "by a small group of researchers" you demerit the work performed by ignoring the review processes involved. The references come from reputable scientific journals, as required by Wikiedia guidelines. The work has been per reviewed and verified by a suitable process.

The fact remains, the Wikipedia community strongly discourages people who come on to repetitively add citations from a single person (or single group, whatever). Subject matter experts who are here to help write an encyclopedia and not to (self)promote an interest will generally cite a range of diverse individuals and sources. MrOllie (talk) 21:19, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

From your source "multiple articles by a single contributor", we are NOT citing multiple articles from a single contributor. Only one has been added as a reference, because it seemed relevant to the general community rather than a specialized audience.

You are drawing a distinction without a difference - you were repetitively adding the same article in multiple places. MrOllie (talk) 21:23, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

In 3 specific places: Robust Control, which is a branch of, propelling nozzles which is the application and ADRC, which is the theory. Not unrelated and required to complete the information on the topics.

Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia because your username, UASLab, does not meet our username policy. Your username is the principal reason for the block. You are welcome to continue editing after you have selected a new username that meets the username policy guidelines, which are summarized below.

Per the username policy, a username should represent an individual and should not: represent a group or organization; be promotional; be misleading (such as indicating possession of special user rights or being a "Bot" account (unless approved for such purposes)); be offensive or otherwise disruptive. However, a username that contains the name of a organization and also identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87" is allowed, though, among others, the guidance on conflict of interest and the policy of paid-contribution disclosure are relevant.

You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our username policy guidelines and create the account yourself. Alternatively, if you wish for your existing contributions to carry over under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:

1. Adding {{unblock-un|your new username here}} below. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "Email this user" from their talk page.
2. At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a change of name request.
3. Your requested new username cannot already be in use. Therefore, please check the list here to see if a name is taken prior to requesting a change of name.

Appeals: If, after reading the guide to appealing blocks you believe you were blocked in error, then you may appeal this block by adding {{unblock|Your reason here}} below this notice.
