Hello, I'm Beccaynr. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Debattama Saha, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Please review WP:USERGENERATED, in Wikipedia:Reliable sources, thank you. Beccaynr (talk) 19:28, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

Thank you Carlmumba (talk) 19:37, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Pearl V Puri. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. -- DaxServer (talk) 18:18, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

There is no single incident of adding unappropriate or promotional content. All the edits that were made were intended to add more information in the articles. Carlmumba (talk) 19:42, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

Hi. The website Ancestry.com you have added as a reference, is unreliable. You can read the recent discussion about it here. Since you are a new user and kept adding it in many articles, I presumed you were advertising the website. -- DaxServer (talk) 08:10, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

Ok. But, the website is not ancestry, but ancestory. Carlmumba (talk) 14:04, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

Hi. When reviewing sources, especially for a biography of a living person, I think it is helpful to review the Biographies of living persons (BLP) policy, which includes, "We must get the article right. Be very firm about the use of high-quality sources," and "Biographies of living persons ("BLPs") must be written conservatively and with regard for the subject's privacy. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a tabloid: it is not Wikipedia's job to be sensationalist, or to be the primary vehicle for the spread of titillating claims about people's lives; the possibility of harm to living subjects must always be considered when exercising editorial judgment." This is related to the Verifiability policy, and its discussion of sources, which includes, "The best sources have a professional structure in place for checking or analyzing facts, legal issues, evidence, and arguments. The greater the degree of scrutiny given to these issues, the more reliable the source. Be especially careful when sourcing content related to living people", and a list of common reliable sources. In the reliable sources guideline, the discussion of questionable sources includes, "Questionable sources are those with a poor reputation for checking the facts or with no editorial oversight. Such sources include websites [...] that rely heavily on rumors". To apply this to Ancestory.com, it is not one of the common reliable sources, (e.g. university-level textbook, a book published by a respected publishing house, magazine, mainstream newspaper), and it does not appear to have a fact-checking policy beyond this note at the end of entries: "Disclaimer: Contact us if you find some information irrelevant since the data is from various sites." It does not cite its sources, and it publishes unsourced contentious rumors. Therefore, Ancestory.com does not appear to be a source that should be used on Wikipedia, except for very limited purposes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you, Beccaynr (talk) 15:35, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

August 2021

Hello, I'm DaxServer. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Vijay Deverakonda 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. -- DaxServer (talk) 13:04, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

Hi Carlmumba, I see you added a link to theancestory.com at Vijay Deverakonda [1] - in my previous comment [2], I talked about why this source should not be used, and I encourage you to follow the links in my comment and to review the information there, and to also consider asking for help at The Teahouse if you have more questions. Thank you, Beccaynr (talk) 16:33, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

May 2023

Please do not introduce links in actual articles to draft articles, as you did to 2022 Leicester unrest, Eddie Tabash and Islamic missionary activity. Since a draft is not yet ready for the main article space, it is not in shape for ordinary readers, and links from articles should not go to a draft. Such links are contrary to the Manual of Style. These links have been removed. Thank you. – 2804:F14:80B6:3101:7891:3F68:783:F174 (talk) 09:59, 30 May 2023 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Deepak Kanakaraju

Hello, Carlmumba

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Deepak Kanakaraju for deletion, because it seems to be inappropriate for a variety of reasons. For more details please see the notice on the article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Speedy deletion nomination of Plum (company)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Plum (company) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company, corporation or organization that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.

Hello Carlmumba. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Carlmumba. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Carlmumba|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. — DaxServer (t · m · e · c) 09:53, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

I have been editing Wikipedia from quite some time now. I want to become a valued contributor to the platform and have been improving my edits to do just that. May be my inexperience or level of editing gives an impression of "undisclosed financial stake" in promoting a topic, as you said in your comment, but that is not true by any stretch of imagination. I'm a writer by profession and I'm not connected to most of the articles that I edit, but I'm inclined towards some of these topics due to the nature of my work. I would welcome any suggestions from you to improve my Wikipedia editing skills, and I'm willing to learn and continuously enhance my contributions. I make small targets for myself and currently I'm looking at that 500 mark to become an extended confirmed user. Thank you! Carlmumba (talk) 10:19, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

As previously advised, your edits, such as the edit you made to CricTracker, give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at User:Carlmumba, and the template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Carlmumba|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. scope_creep^Talk 11:07, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

I have mentioned it in the above comment as well that I'm not being directly or indirectly compensated for the edits. I intend to contribute in a way to make Wikipedia better. I may not be at your level of editing at this point in time, but I'm willing to learn from comments and suggestions from seasoned editors like you. I can make mistakes and welcome every attempt to correct me. Thank you! Carlmumba (talk) 11:58, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

Anurag Sinha (actor)

Hi, The lead is a summary of the article, so it is sourced. Also, there's nothing wrong with some positive commentary based on facts - his achievement as winner of Best Actor Award for International Film Festivals is quite relevant and useful. With all the citations in place, the article makes sense. Centrepiece12 • Talk2me There was no need to add vague content. It is a fact and relevant to the summary of the article. Please support.

Thank You Centrepiece12 (talk) 13:36, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

Hi,

Request you to please restore to the previous version. I am only adding value to the page you have created. All citations are provided and no content added is vague or irrelevant to the summary of the lead to the article.

Please revert to the previous timestamp

Cheers! Centrepiece12 (talk) 13:47, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

StarsUnfolded

Please do not add references citing StarsUnfolded, as you did at Ravish Kumar - StarsUnfolded is NOT a reliable source - as per Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources. Thank you - Arjayay (talk) 10:16, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

Okay. Thank you for letting me know. Carlmumba (talk) 11:20, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

Edits to cricketer articles

Hello.

I'm really sorry, but I've had to revert a bunch of edits you made on articles about cricketers. Although I've no doubt that some parts of those edits would be useful, there's way too much detail in many of them. Please read WP:NOTDIARY for guidance on that sort of thing. I was also concerned that some of the language was inappropriate. For example, saying that Marsh "went berserk" is not appropriate and calling Australia "the Aussies" isn't in this context either. We're trying to write something that people can read. On the same article, you called one of his innings "fine". Was it? Do you have sources to quote from for that? If so, put it in quotes - otherwise you're providing that opinion - and reading WP:NPOV shows that this is clearly not what's required here. Blue Square Thing (talk) 19:52, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

Understood. Thank you Carlmumba (talk) 06:22, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

StarsUnfolded - again

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Avinash Das (director), without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article.
It was clearly explained, above, that you should not use StarsUnfolded as a reference as it is not a reliable source - as per Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources, but you have continued using it - please stop - Arjayay (talk) 09:13, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

Ohh yes. I just realized that you had earlier written to me about this. Thanks for the comment. I will keep it in mind. Carlmumba (talk) 09:17, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Areeka Haq

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Areeka Haq requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Areeka Haq. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

December 2023

Hello, Carlmumba, welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. Your editing pattern indicates that you may be using multiple accounts or coordinating editing with people outside Wikipedia, such as MushiTrushi (talk · contribs). Our policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow this, and users who misuse multiple accounts may be blocked from editing. If you operate multiple accounts directly or with the help of another person, please disclose these connections. Thank you. Wikishovel (talk) 15:02, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

January 2024

Your account has been blocked indefinitely for advertising or promotion and violating the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use. This is because you have been making promotional edits to topics in which you have a financial stake, yet you have failed to adhere to the mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a form of conflict of interest (COI) editing which involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is strictly prohibited. Using this site for advertising or promotion is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia.

If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, please read our guide to appealing blocks to understand more about unblock requests, and then add the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the end of your user talk page. For that request to be considered, you must:

• Confirm that you have read and understand the Terms of Use and paid editing disclosure requirements.
• State clearly how you are being compensated for your edits, and describe any affiliation or conflict of interest you might have with the subjects you have written about.
• Describe how you intend to edit such topics in the future.
