  The links are relevant, posting them is not a repeated pattern, and mcenedella has been a good HN contributor for many years. Therefore his comment was just fine.

    Thanks. I thought the facts were relevant to the comments, and that students wondering if this were good advice, would benefit from the reference. I’ve been contributing here eight years so I know moderators and community would flag anything actually self promoting.

      Self-promotion only becomes a problem here when it's repetitive, and especially if the thing being promoted is out of context. Otherwise it can fairly be described as sharing one's own relevant work—obviously a good and on-topic thing for Hacker News!
