Potential conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, Jv anand2k4. 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.

Hey,

I understand the policies. thanks.

I tried to update the most important aspect of the literature (only), without getting into too much detail or writing for a specific group of researchers. For instance, if a student search for "what are the restriction factors known to work against CMV/MCMV virus", that will take the student to Wikipedia page CMV virus, and you see, none there. Same goes to antiviral activity of APOBEC3A or the specific HIV-1 promoting role of USP18. Now I get a feeling that all of a sudden the rules are updated and no longer it is necessary to update the literature (mind you, it wont be autocratically updated! only people like us needs to find time to do this, agree?) and I will leave it as it is.

Thanks for you reply. Concerning cytomegalovirus, MX2, and APOBEC3A, I agree that the material that you added was useful, but I was objecting to the adding of primary citations to a large number of articles from the same research group. I have partially restored your edits, trimming primary sources (see WP:MEDRS and WP:SCIRS) and adding what I hope are adequate secondary sources to support the material. Please feel free to further edit. Cheers. Boghog (talk) 10:59, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
