You are adding your own material so have a conflict of interest]. It is not [{WP:VERIFIABLE and fails as a source, see WP:RS. It's possibly self-published, also failing our criteria. And it's spam the way you've done it. Doug Weller talk 18:43, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
- 'Adding external links to an article or user page for the purpose of promoting a website or a product is not allowed' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Spam#External_link_spamming
- My external links are completely on topic and are in no way spam. I am not promoting a website or a product. This document utilizes the CC0 public domain copyright. A spammer would not make their research freely reproducible.
- This document is not self-published. It was published by a research firm that I work for.
- 'Any external relationship – personal, religious, political, academic, financial or legal – can trigger a COI. How close the relationship needs to be before it becomes a concern on Wikipedia is governed by common sense. But subject-matter experts are welcome to contribute within their areas of expertise, subject to the guidance on financial conflict of interest, while making sure that their external roles and relationships in that field do not interfere with their primary role on Wikipedia.' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest#What_is_conflict_of_interest.3F
- I am a subject-matter expert contributing within my area of expertise, which is theology. I am afraid you are not letting your common sense guide you in analyzing the closeness of my relationship with my publishing company.

Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Doug Weller talk 18:46, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
