Chitra Ramanathan

ALL-CAPS comes across as shouting. Don't do that. Also, if you want to make the claim the painting was aquired in an auction, you need a source. Kleuske (talk) 16:32, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

Conflict of Interest?

Hi @Vertacool. I noticed that almost all your editing here on Wikipedia has been on the Chitra Ramanathan‎ article, which is unusual. If you are closely associated with the subject of that article, then you may have a conflict of interest and you need to be aware that Wikipedia has restrictive policies regarding such editing. Those policies are detailed at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. Thank you. Indyguy (talk) 16:45, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

🙏 Please note that American wiki writers initially created this page with minimal info.

Thereupon, only factual info gathered has been added. Please note that all edits have since been provided on the subject to dated for the page. Vertacool (talk) 17:03, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

So are you saying that you are not closely associated with the subject? That the article was initially created with minimal information and that only "factual" information has been added since then doesn't affect whether Wikipedia policies about conflict of interest need to be followed.

Page was created and published by American wiki writers in June 2022, but few sourced materials included. Added material is solely for factual reference purposes with on already published sources. No conflicts intended. 🙏 Vertacool (talk) 19:15, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

From the way you are evading my question, it appears that you are indeed closely associated with Chitra Ramanathan. Is that correct? Indyguy (talk) 00:42, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

Please understand, nor evading anything. Just was adding some references on the page which did not have much materials upon being published for some months. If any problem, please feel free to make changes. Thanks. Vertacool (talk) 01:58, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

Also it was a paid publication after the wiki writers’s invitation. 2600:1700:2988:8090:6913:BD37:CE5F:E2C9 (talk) 02:01, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

The page is indeed a paid publication that was created on behalf of the subject by American Wiki Writers.

Reading discussions on conflict of interests on the wiki information/ help pages in response to your note, was previously unaware that providing previous publications’ links such as interviews and bios on the subject for the purpose of verifiable sources, was not clear as a conflict of interest.

Secondly, please note encouraging messages have been registered in response to and welcoming the edits from wiki. Hope this clarifies. Sorry for the misunderstanding and inconvenience. Thanks for understanding. In light of this, please note that no edits will be made in future.

However should new materials become published, what would be the procedure? Vertacool (talk) 04:31, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
