Talk:Outboard tail

Self-citation

I just added a couple of factoids and cited my own peer-reviewed paper in support. TAH is a reliable source, but other editors here may wish to review my edit in the interests of WP:COI and so on. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 12:07, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

LOL, no, that meets the terms set out in WP:SPS. You're a published subject matter expert! - Ahunt (talk) 18:05, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

! ... But seriously, SPS is more about dubious third-party sources. Per the advice at WP:EXPERT; "Wikipedia's conflict of interest policy does allow an editor to include information from their own publications in Wikipedia articles and to cite them. ... When in doubt, it is good practice for a person who may have a conflict of interest to disclose it on the relevant article's talk page and to suggest changes there rather than in the article." — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 19:13, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

Ah, as long as you don't do it too often to the point of WP:PROMOTION no one will likely mind. I have many software reviews regularly published in a WP:RS and occasionally cite myself when there are no better refs. At least I know the info is correct! My vote is that your addition is Approved. - Ahunt (talk) 22:59, 18 November 2022 (UTC)
