Reason for reporting: cross-wiki self-promotional spammer, see global contribs and d:Q140673458 unless already deleted. Grand-Duc (talk) 00:18, 31 August 2026 (UTC)

Hello. I am Rafael Belisário, the subject of this Wikidata item and the uploader of the photograph. I understand the concerns regarding cross-wiki spam and Conflict of Interest (COI), and I apologize for any misunderstanding of the guidelines.

My primary goal in joining the Wikimedia projects is to contribute to open knowledge, specifically by adding structured data, citations, and content related to Brazilian Tax Law, legal technology, and academic research. As a researcher and developer of digital legal utilities and study platforms, I mistakenly believed that creating a basic researcher item was a standard initial step to properly link future academic publications, open-source contributions, and technical concepts.

I completely accept the community's evaluation regarding the notability criteria for the item Q140673458. If it does not meet the strict requirements for inclusion at this stage of my career, I fully respect the decision to delete it. I am here to collaborate and would welcome any guidance on how to properly contribute my academic and technical knowledge to the project moving forward without violating COI policies. Thank you for your time Rafaelbelisarioadv (talk) 02:11, 31 August 2026 (UTC)

 Comment we seem to get so many nearly identically worded messages like this lately ("My primary goal in joining the Wikimedia projects is to contribute to open knowledge", etc.). Is this wording coming from LLMs? - Jmabel ! talk 05:29, 31 August 2026 (UTC)

@Rafaelbelisarioadv: given that nearly all of your edits on Wikidata have been about yourself or about a company with which you admit to being involved—topics about which no one else has made any significant edits—it strains credulity to believe that your "primary goal" is "to contribute to open knowledge" rather than to promote yourself. - Jmabel ! talk 05:35, 31 August 2026 (UTC)

Hi @Jmabel, fair point. English isn't my first language and I was trying way too hard to sound formal, but reading it back, I completely get why it came across as canned.

You're totally right about the pages I created, though. I genuinely misunderstood how Wikidata works and thought it was closer to an open professional registry. That's on me.

I have zero problem with those items being deleted. If it helps, I'm happy to blank or remove the non-compliant info myself, or redirect my efforts to editing existing neutral items right away. Just let me know what works best for the community.

Moving forward, I'll stick strictly to public and neutral topics in international tax law, like OECD frameworks and treaties. Thanks for calling it out and keeping things in check. Rafaelbelisarioadv (talk) 06:56, 31 August 2026 (UTC)

This has a feel of self promotion (as do many Wikidata entities). Personally the file should be deleted until such time as the user actually becomes an active contributor. And yes there's a lot of it about... Herby ^{talk thyme} 07:57, 31 August 2026 (UTC)

File deleted under G10. User warned, if someone wants to block, plz go ahead. As for my view, maybe we can give 'em a chance. Shaan Sengupta^Talk 08:10, 31 August 2026 (UTC)

Perfectly glad to give them a chance; if they've described their background accurately, I'm sure they can do useful stuff here. - Jmabel ! talk 23:52, 31 August 2026 (UTC)

Protoeus and Hackeramine. On the flag of Ukraine.

It's vandalism on the page itself, nominating for deletion wrongly, etc... The user Achim55 fully protected the file, but only until 1 December 2026.

What I want is for the users Protoeus and Hackeramine to be blocked from editing this file and any file related to Ukraine, Russia, Belarus and Eastern Europe and any former Soviet country permanently (at least). Candidyeoman55 (talk) 16:56, 31 August 2026 (UTC)

I didn’t actually expect someone notice a vandal edit I did like 2 years ago, but just to make it clear, I don’t make those types of edits anymore. Protoeus (talk) 17:20, 31 August 2026 (UTC)

 Not done, I am not gonna block Protoeus or anyone for something they did nearly two years ago and haven't repeated since. As for Hackeramine, they have been appropriately warned by Achim55. If anyone does that again, a block will be applied, not now. Shaan Sengupta^Talk 06:59, 1 September 2026 (UTC)

Reason for reporting: Adding irrelevant categories to File:CruzRomanos.png (see page history).
