Hello, I'm Jim1138. I noticed that you made a change to an article, José Avelino Bettencourt, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Jim1138 (talk) 07:47, 17 June 2018 (UTC)

Content needs to be wp:verifiable. Please wp:cite a wp:reliable source with your edits. See wp:referencing for beginners and help:footnotes. The only way Wikipedia has any credibility is by its citations. Thank you Jim1138 (talk) 08:53, 17 June 2018 (UTC)

Autobiographies
[edit]
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but it appears you have written or added to an article about yourself, at José Avelino Bettencourt. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was the page I created deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you.
