Information icon Hello, Adahdouh. 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, company, organization or competitors;
  • propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • 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 must 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 WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. ElKevbo (talk) 17:12, 1 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]


Hello ElKevbo
I am the author of one of the articles mentioned in the recent modification I have done on Wikipedia. I am sorry for the inconvenience but I was not aware of this policy. I am a researcher and I am interested in developing the connectivism theory. All my research are dedicated for this purpose and every time I conduct a study, I seek to update the page to reflect the recent findings. Of course the goal is to enhance our understandings of the theory.
I am currently a fresh PhD graduate and I am no longer belong to University of Minho. I have no financial benefit of doing this modification.
If the modification still violates Wikipedia regulations, please remove the modification and accept my apologies.

It's generally not a good idea for editors to add citations to their own materials; it's difficult for us to know if you are contributing in good faith or if you're trying to promote yourself. It's best to avoid doing that, perhaps by asking in the article's Talk page that other editors make the edit. ElKevbo (talk) 23:09, 1 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
