User talk:Devesh Dabas
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent edits, such as the ones to the page Devesh, do not conform to our policies. For more information on this, see Wikipedia's policies on vandalism and limits on acceptable additions. If you'd like to experiment with the wiki's syntax, please do so on Wikipedia:Sandbox rather than in articles.
If you still have questions, there is a new contributor's help page, or you can write {{helpme}} below this message along with a question and someone will be along to answer it shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia.

[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Devesh, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to Devesh. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Crafty (talk) 07:29, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
It is considered to be a conflict of interest to add yourself or people you know to Wikipedia; if you think that you are notable enough to satisfy the Wikipedia guidelines, then you can request that an article be written about you. Veinor (talk to me) 07:35, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
Conflict of Interest
[edit]Devesh,
Obviously the entry you insist on adding to Devesh is about yourself. You need to understand that Wikipedia has rules about Conflict of Interest. You should read those before you go promoting yourself here. Crafty (talk) 07:36, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
Please do not vandalize pages, as you did with this edit to Devesh. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing. — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 07:39, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
This is your last warning. You will be blocked from editing the next time you vandalize a page, as you did with this edit to Devesh. — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 08:47, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
Conflict of Interest
[edit]Hello. I see that you've gotten into some hot water quite early on. To ensure that we maintain a high quality encyclopedia, we have policies in place, one of them is conflict of interest policy. While you yourself may believe something, simply because you believe this doesn't mean it can be added to Wikipedia. I noticed you said you are well known in your country, do you by any chance have any references backing this up, perhaps an article in a newspaper?

Please contribute to the discussion at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard#Devesh_Dabas. Thanks. — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 09:26, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
Also if you edit in the same piece of text again you will be breaking the WP:3RR rule which says that you must not reverse someone elses edit more than three times. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 09:30, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
