Tulio de Oliveira
Hello. I am assuming from your username, and from your edits, that you are the subject of this article? I know it's terribly tempting to make changes or corrections yourself, but we try to discourage this wherever possible. We ask instead that, if the editor is the subject of the article, they resist changing the article directly, but make an WP:EDITREQUEST on the article's talk page, citing any sources to support those changes.

Firstly, there's an obvious Conflict of Interest which we like to avoid, and, secondly, it is tempting to add information that you know about yourself to be true, but which is not in any published sources that someone else can check and verify. For Wikipedia, Verification to Reliable Sources is absolutely essential for living people. (You might like to view this policy).

So, I've added a couple of 'citation needed' tags to the two sentences about your awards that you added. Can you cite a source for these, please, or leave a link on the talk page? We are very happy to base Wikipedia content on University-based biographies, should these be available. I've also removed some minor early education content from the lead which is covered (and cited) elsewhere. For living people, we really do need to have all factual statements about awards, achievements and personal life verifiable from published sources (or simply left out if the person knows it to be true, but can't demonstrate it to be so).

Finally, if you are indeed Professor Oliveira, a huge thank you is on order for your work and achievements, especially during the pandemic. I realise petty issues of accuracy on Wikipedia do rather pale into insignificance! Kind regards from the UK. Nick Moyes (talk) 15:59, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
