I really agree with Jon:

- policies are clear on avoiding primary sources

- it's ok for people to edit on their areas of expertise

- it's dangerous to cite their own research, directly or "on their behalf" and i think it's no necessary

Charles:

The devil may be in the details, but Wikipedia's warning against primary sources is very clear indeed. And this is precisely one of the rather important things at stake in this discussion.

The relevant wording warns, in effect, against doing anything besides taking a fair abstract from academic papers. I'm really not accepting your argument, otherwise.
