On Adding Your Own Book to Wikipedia Articles
It's not good Wikipedia form to add your book as a reference to a variety of articles. If it's relevant, someone else will likely get around to it. Bytwerk 01:58, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
- Hallo, welcome to Wikipedia
- If you think that the 2007 book Ehrenreich, Eric. The Nazi Ancestral Proof: Genealogy, Racial Science, and the Final Solution. is important enough for inclusion into the ==literature== section of an article, please explain this on the articles talk-page. As far as I can see, the book has no “cited by” hits on scholar.google, so it is more likely that the book is not relevant yet for an encyclopaedia. If you continue to put the title into literature lists despite others removing it, your actions risk to be reported to a wider circle of Wikipedians.

- edited. Let me add that I don't claim that this editor is identical with the author of the book. However, this has no impact on the fact that adding the title to an article needs a good reason. --Schwalker 16:25, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
Possible improvements
Hallo,
from the point of view of Wikipedia I believe it would be very usefull and appreciated if experts improve articles. So please do not misunderstand the messages above as a discouragement from further contributions to Wikipedia. I guess that if the book Ehrenreich 2007 would be used (for example in the form of an inline-citation footnote [1]) to support new content, added to improve the main-texts of articles like Eugenics, Nazi eugenics, Scientific racism, Nazi Germany, Antisemitism, Racism, Otmar Freiherr von Verschuer, it is likely that no one would object.
