Regrding anti-expert bias, does anyone think verifiable experts should be allowed to cite themselves when editing wiki articles relating to their skills? I'm not sure what I think, but it seems an important question. I can definitely see it being a major step towards a citable, peer-reviewed journal level of quality.
I don't see how that would help at all; quite the opposite. I'm not in favor of a blanket prohibition against citing yourself, but it should be viewed with caution and vetted by others.
It Depends. I cited my own blog on [[Sharity]], but placed a note on the talk page about it if anyone thinks it's unsuitable. (Sharity is a minor but important piece of software allowing computers running Solaris to mount SMB shares. Linux and FreeBSD do this effortlessly, on Solaris you have to buy the software. And people do.)
