Wikipedia• 11 Million Entries• Rule: No Original Research:
“to demonstrate that you are not presenting original research, you must cite reliable sources that are directly related to the topic of the article, and that directly support the information as it is presented.”
But You Can Cite Yourself:• “You may cite your own publications just as you would cite anyone else's, but make sure your
material is relevant and that you are regarded as a reliable source for the purposes of Wikipedia. Be cautious about excessive citation of your own work, which may be seen as promotional or a conflict of interest; when in doubt, check on the talk page.
