Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. GermanJoe (talk) 20:56, 31 October 2017 (UTC)

Citing your own research
Hello Maria Manuela Aparicio, thank you for your efforts to improve education-related articles. However, adding your own research to various articles - even when done in good faith - is usually not a good approach and could be seen as an attempt to popularize your own work. If possible, it would be better to source this content with 3rd-party sources. If you believe that this content needs your own paper for verification, it would be better to suggest this change at the article's talkpage to avoid a possible conflict of interest, and let other uninvolved editors decide. Also, the introductory "lead" section should only summarize the article's main points (so any information in the lead section should be repeated and elaborated in more detail somewhere in the following main text). You'll find more information about the "lead" section at MOS:LEAD. Hope this information is helpful. Please feel free to ping me if you have any further questions. The Teahouse is also a good forum to ask for Wikipedia-related advice. Best regards. GermanJoe (talk) 18:30, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

Recent reverts
Hello Maria Manuela Aparicio, first of all thank you for using 3rd-party sources in your recent edits. However, some of this content might be better fitting in E-learning (theory) and seems to stray away from Educational technology as main topic. Secondary aspects can be briefly mentioned of course when such information adds to the main topic, but should be clearly put in context and distinguished from the main topic. Another quick point: Wikipedia articles are not academic papers and generally use a different writing style: they should not try to teach and explain a topic, but provide an accessible succinct overview of encyclopedic facts. All these facts, including all additional conclusions and opinions, should be primarily verified by secondary sources. Direct second-person language and advice towards the reader should be avoided. I hope these clarifies the recent reverts a bit (see also my edit summaries for each change), I certainly don't want to discourage further editing. Please feel free to ask me if you have questions - I'd be glad to help with additional information if some of Wikipedia's guidelines seem unclear or confusing. Best regards.
