Welcome

Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

• The Five Pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

• Respect copyrights - do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view - this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced to multiple reliable sources.
• No Sockpuppetry.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism, doing so will result your account or IP being blocked from editing.

The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date).

Hello, Svea Kollavainen. 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.

My purpose is to add a significant subtopic to the topic of heritage that is currently missing. It is a pretty bad practice to cite review articles rather than peer-reviewed original reserach, see this. Svea Kollavainen (talk) 05:43, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

You're absolutely right that in peer-reviewed literature, it's a bad idea to over-cite reviews. The point is that this isn't a peer-reviewed journal, but rather a collaboration of non-experts building and maintaining an encyclopaedia - quite a different thing. The inclusion in a review gives credence (at least to some degree ...) to primary research. You might be interested in WP:SOURCETYPES, particularly WP:SCHOLARSHIP.

I have sent you a note about a page you started

Hello, Svea Kollavainen. Thank you for your work on Interspecies design. Klbrain, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:

I'm not sure whether this is quite the right title, or whether there might be significant overlap with other pages. Perhaps those questions are worth exploring. However, I think that its reasonable to keep the page for now, as it does bring together some relevant material (particularly on Australian owls!).

To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Klbrain}}. Please remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. (Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)
