Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Tonga, appears to have been inappropriate, and has been reverted. Your edit included at least one misplaced external link. If you intended them to be references, please read Referencing for beginners. Thank you. David Biddulph (talk) 09:47, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for the message, David. I had misunderstood the guidance on official links: because there was no Wiki page for the official SIDS DOCK programme or the global network of renewable energy centres, I had understood their official websites as helpful for readers. Based on your change, I now assume that external links are to be avoided in near entirety. TS-UNESCO SC (talk) 13:30, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Moxy. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. Moxy - 10:50, 9 September 2021 (UTC)

Hi Moxy, I believe you are referring to the creation of a section on Burundi's science and technology. I'm not clear why you thought it was promotional given that the text described Burundi's own goals as set out in their Strategic Plan for Science, Technology, Research and Innovation. I do not work for or promote Burundi's government. The other material that you deleted referred to an established, unique study of scientific output from regional researchers, published by the entity (UNESCO) that is mandated by Burundi and other member countries to monitor scientific progress. Burundi and others have committed to the Sustainable Development Goals, which includes goals on research spending and researcher density; the final paragraph of my proposed insertion provided the data on those metrics -- again from the freely accessible source that is the global custodian of those data. Before I propose the text again, could you clarify for me why you thought the text was problematic? Thanks!TS-UNESCO SC (talk) 14:31, 9 September 2021 (UTC)
