Hello,
I am an academic with expertise in the field of refugee and asylum study.
Today I opened a Wikipedia account and I condensed my results from more than a decade of research into less than 10 lines that I distributed in the appropriate articles. In some cases I mentioned my name, in most I did not, and only introduced the advancement in the topic to then link to one of my articles.
As I was finished with my work, another user systematically reversed all my changes across all pages claiming I have violated the policy on conflicting interests.
I do not think so. I believe I made the only significant contribution I could. Expertise is a different thing from conflict of interest. If I were to follow the criterion adopted by MrOllie in reversing my interventions, that would mean that experts cannot bring what they have - their work - to the discussion. This would damage Wikipedia enormously.
In particular, the article on the EU asylum system misses important updates which is urgent to remedy (there is no reference to the 2020 proposed EC pact).
Kindly let me know how I should proceed without becoming entangled in an editing war.
