Hello, I'm
Sakaimover. I noticed that you recently removed content from
Sthavira nikāya without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate
edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the
sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on
my talk page. Thanks.

Hi 65.28.236.17,
I understand your concern about soapboxing. I am a researcher with expertise in the particular areas that I have edited, and I believe I have done so in a rather independent and objective way. Although I have referenced my own work in updating these sections (which very much need updating), this is because these sections relate directly to my field of knowledge. According to Wikipedia's rules as I read them, limited amounts of self-citing are allowed under certain conditions, and I don't think I've overstepped them (but perhaps, this is because I am starting out). Even in the worse case, that my intent would be self-promotion, the resources that I have added link to hundreds of other resources and have been independently validated by peer review experts. Pardon if I have overstepped the line, this is my first time attempting to edit Wikipedia. Having quite a few hours of work lost is not exactly motivation to continue further updating this pages with other needed references (which I had planned to do at a later date, it's just that it's very time intensive when you are just starting out).
As for the podcast edit, I did not mean to self-promote there (I added my name simply copying as others have done). The podcast is non-commercial and is a purely academic resource. Notable guests include leading digital campaigners for example, the Trump, Rand Paul, and Barack Obama campaigns. I figured a write-up in the Guardian as a "podcast of the week" was worthy of being notable, but again, excuse me if my novice status has led to a breach of rules.
If you understand my concern, I'd appreciate another editor coming in to weigh which edits are spam/self-promotional, and which (if any) are notable and objective contributions. I can say in full faith that I think my edits contribute to the pages (and Wikipedia as a whole) by updating and adding independent, scientific research into the encyclopedia. My investment in the edits is not self-promotion, but injecting the state of the art in academic research into Wikipedia.
Thank you,
SoMeGuRu
