Talk:Tulio de Oliveira

A sentence with multiple issues
The sentence "With others he has suggested ... " has several issues: --Himbeerbläuling (talk) 15:26, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) i am not sure whether it is too near to a quotation from the source
 * 2) the source talks abut "declining immunity". This is far different from "weakened immune systems". People with declining immunity are common in an epidemic process, as everyone's immunity declines some time after the disease.
 * 3) in the source, it is obvious for any readers that de Oliveira et al suggested a hypothesis. In the Wikipedia article, one might think (/misunderstand) they had suggested an action.
 * added to "declining immunity"  vs   "weakened immune systems" : The previous sentence in the world bank book is more about weak immune systems, but the link between the two world-bank-book-sentences remains a little unclear.  Perhaps we should try to find de Oliveiras et al original text. --Himbeerbläuling (talk) 15:38, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you ... please reword some if you can. I will go through again. Maybe Eftyhia Vardas should be created. Whispyhistory (talk) 15:41, 30 December 2021 (UTC)

An article by top science-Journalist David Cyranoski
On 2021-01-15, David Cyranoski wrote an article for nature.com, praising Oliveiras efficient work with small budget and his sharing of data with COVID-19 Genomics UK Consortium's Andrew Rambaut: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-00065-4. Cyranoski says, the fast communications between Oliveira and Rambaut, especially Oliveira telling Rambaut about N501Y, made it possible to identify the alpha (Kent) variant early. --Himbeerbläuling (talk) 21:41, 30 December 2021 (UTC)

Name written "De Oliveirade" in our article
Dear User:Philafrenzy, in the article the name is written twice in the spelling "De Oliveirade". These two came into the article by contributions of two different editors. I am not sure: Do You think it was a mistake, or is there a rule in English grammar that says this is correct? (I am a native speaker of German, far from perfect in English language.) Best regards --Himbeerbläuling (talk) 17:14, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I think it is probably just a mistake and have fixed it. Philafrenzy (talk) 18:03, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

Bachelor Degree — from where ?
Hello User:Whispyhistory and User:Philafrenzy and you all! The two sources

name="sun"

and

name="Global"

disagree in the question from which university de Oliveira earned/received the bachelor's degree. The user Tuliodna, who probably is indeed Professor de Oliveira, changed it in the intro/lead paragraph to "De Oliveira studied first at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil and then moved to South Africa in 1997 where he completed his bachelor's, master's degree, … ", the bachelor subject was removed from the intro afterwards. Regarding the discrepancy between the sources, this is nearly well-sourced, but "nearly" is not the same as "certainly/positively/actually". The sentence about the bachelor degree in the early life section remained unchanged. How shall we behave? --Himbeerbläuling (talk) 06:32, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
 * . They all appear correct... received BScs from both... ... If you want, you can elaborate on it or leave it until a secondary source is found. Whispyhistory (talk) 15:36, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Seems ok. --Himbeerbläuling (talk) 15:59, 4 April 2022 (UTC)

Selected Publications section removed
I don't think a Wikipedia article about an academic should have a "Selected Publications" section. The [Notability](Notability_(academics)) guidelines don't mention it, and I believe it goes against general Wikipedia philosophy. This is not a CV.

A link to Google Scholar or personal webpage is more appropriate.
