Linking to your own papers[edit]

Hello Soumyadeep2208. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Soil contamination, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about following the reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

  1. Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
  2. Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
  3. Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
  4. Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you.--McGeddon (talk) 12:57, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]


Hi McGeddon, It was nice to get your feedback. But I wanted to point out that the work added in the "outside link" section is actually a review work done from 360 research papers. The document is published after thorough review process of 4 expert reviewers in the field of soil & groundwater treatment. This paper neither upholds any agenda of mine, nor I am going to benefit personally from it. But from my experience, I have observed that these review papers actually exposes the user to the latest technologies & research carried out in that specific field of study --Soumyadeep2208 (talk) 13:54, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
