June 2021

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Federal University of Minas Gerais has been reverted.
Your edit here to Federal University of Minas Gerais was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://labcogufmg.wordpress.com/) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 01:50, 20 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Rva24. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.--Quisqualis (talk) 17:20, 26 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

My Answers

Hi, thank you for letting me know. Before I can take the time to go through the Wikimedia Foundation regulations on righteous editing, I can already answer to some of the things you mentioned.

I have nothing to disclose other than the following: my only relationship to the Federal University of Minas Gerais is that I graduated from this institution years ago. I no longer have any affiliation to it. I might know some researchers in research groups from there, and might and eventually coauthor some of their publications.

I just happened to notice that the English version of this article was, and still is, very incomplete and outdated. I took the time to start to try to update it and complete information lacking. I know that it was incomplete and outdated due to the fact that I went there, I know the institution. I thoroughly used the University's website as reference for there is no other source of information to cite, to prove that that is the complex institutinal organization and public administration of this University. The only information that might have been biased is adjectives I might have used to describe the research output of some departments. Rva24 (talk) 18:02, 26 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I read some of the materials about the Wikimedia Foundation policies and guidelines. Of course, I did not have the time to go through all of the important contents, exactly because I am not getting paid to have any business with Wikipedia editing, which means I am only doing so to try to help when I have spare time, which is never. My only interest in editing the UFMG page is because the prior version, mostly produced around 2005 and 2006 is outdated, eventually wrong, and that can contain biased views in itself. This institution is one of the most important in Brazil, to be honest. It deserves to have a thoroughly done English version on Wikipedia, because it is really not an irrelevant institution in the Brazilian educational scenario. I will now try to edit the page again, with the most neutral attitude possible, and I could only say that I spare bona fides in doing so. Rva24 (talk) 18:36, 27 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Concern regarding Draft:Ado Jorio

Hello, Rva24. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Ado Jorio, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

How do I transform the draft into a full entry? Rva24 (talk) 13:09, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
