The way I think of it, we're all hopelessly biased toward our own products; if not, we wouldn't do them. So instead of using Wikipedia for self-promotion, you're better off devoting your energies to improving your journal. Eventually somebody will say, "Hey, why isn't that great journal referenced in Wikipedia?" and fix the problem for you.
Yeah. Referencing one's own work is probably a COI.
(I have occasionally referenced things I've been involved in - on [[Sharity]] I originally referenced a post on my own blog and said so on talk, though the ref was replaced in a later revision. And in [[Xenu]] I linked to a page on my own site, which was a web copy of a Usenet post - Grady Ward's synopsis of 'Revolt In The Stars', L. Ron Hubbard's treatment for a speculated movie version of the Xenu story.)
