Google selfie

Journalist friends: Is there a term for when you go to research something, and the internet sends you back to an article you yourself wrote to find the answer? 

I just went to find out whatever happened to fuel cells, and was directed to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BC_hydrogen_highway , which leans on only 2 references, one of them written by me. Ha!

Out of curiosity, I asked wikipedia how many times "Jones, Nicola" comes up in citations. Turns out I'm cited in articles spanning from limnic eruptions to seaweed, non-fungible tokens, quantum computing, carbon-14,  "climate change and gender" and more.

How about a 'Google selfie'?
