Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that in this edit to José Couto, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Materialscientist (talk) 11:13, 8 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi,
 * My name is Jose Couto, and I am the swimmer mentioned on the page. I am editing my Wikipedia article for professional reasons.
 * Please let me know whether the page respects the criteria; I just finished modifying it. There is just one photo missing that I will post later.
 * Thank you.
 * Best regards,
 * Jose Couto Creative Ruf (talk) 14:03, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

Please review Wikipedia's Conflict of Interest policy
Hello, Creative Ruf. 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, clients, 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 Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see 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 Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Dl2000 (talk) 00:37, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
