Hi. I noticed that you have added the same citation (PMID 21506696) to a number of articles. There are several potential problems with this. First, sources supporting medical claims generally need to secondary while 21506696 is primary (see WP:MEDRS). Second there was very little supporting text added which makes me believe the primary reason was to promote the citation, not improve Wikipedia. If you have any connection with the article authors, then you have a potential conflict of interest. Self citation in Wikipedia is strongly discouraged. To avoid any conflict of interest, it is better to mention the citation and text on the talk page and ask a neutral third party editor to add the text. Boghog (talk) 17:56, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
