Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, EkRahgir. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Draft:Dr. Mahendra Singh, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template)—don't forget to give details of reliable sources supporting your suggestions;
• disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
• do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicizing, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. AntiDionysius (talk) 19:41, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Dr. Mahendra Singh

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 Draft:Dr. Mahendra Singh, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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.

Hello, EkRahgir. Thank you for helping to build Wikipedia-- the world's largest free content encyclopedia. I'm sorry, but a page you created  Draft:Dr. Mahendra Singh has been deleted as meeting one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion.

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia-- subjects of articles must meet notability guidelines with reliable sources which are unconnected with the subject and which provide verifiable information. Someone unconnected with the subject needs to have written a great deal about the subject. Please see WP:CORP for subjects that are groups or companies or organizations. Please see WP:ANYBIO for subjects who are people. Please see Wikipedia:Common sourcing mistakes (notability). Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Adventure is a useful tutorial.

Also, encyclopedia articles must be neutral in tone and not use language that promotes or advocates for a subject, or tries to cast the subject in a favorable light. Please see Information on content and common pitfalls to avoid here and here. Sometimes creators of promotional/advocational content are bewildered that it is considered such. If one has been trained to write such content, or if one has spent some time writing such content, one may simply be blind to non-neutral phrases or styles.

Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. A common assumption is that the prohibition against promotional editing applies only to businesses or organizations. It applies to any topic, including a person, a non-commercial organization, a point of view, etc. Persistent posters of promotional content may be blocked from editing Posters of promotional content with promotional usernames may be blocked on sight..

CV's/resumé's are by their nature promotional. Writing about oneself or any connected subject is discouraged as the connection can make objectivity difficult. Information on avoiding advocational content and common pitfalls is here and here, however be aware that these are not exhaustive.

New article creation can be difficult, but the Article Wizard can help you. "Before you start writing, gather a list of indisputably reliable sources that are entirely independent of the person, and that devote significant coverage to the person. Once you have that list of high quality sources, format them into references. Referencing for beginners explains how. Now, neutrally summarize what the sources say, avoiding any promotional language. You can find much more detailed advice at Your first article." --per Cullen328 The new user tutorial can help you avoid future problems. You can also ask for help at the Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Help desk, and on IRC chat. Sometimes it is better to first gain experience by fixing and helping maintain existing articles. Wikipedia:Community portal/Opentask contains links to things that badly need doing, if you are so inclined.

This notice is information dense. Please carefully read and thoroughly understand the linked information before attempting further article creation.

Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages to Wikipedia, as doing so is not in accordance with our policies. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read Wikipedia:Your first article; you might also consider using the Article Wizard. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Thank you. AntiDionysius (talk) 20:11, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, such as at Draft talk:Dr. Mahendra Singh, (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 20:59, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Didn't you read what I wrote in the edit summary? That change requires RfC / WP:CONSENSUS at Port Blair article to move it to a new article name. If the consensus is successful, then an admin will change the name, then only it will be reflected here. Read that we use WP:COMMONNAMES not WP:OFFICIALNAMES for article names per policy. Fylindfotberserk (talk) 13:42, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

If anybody updating an Incident with Valid reference, Is it Vandalization? The name I have updated It's approved By Indian Government. Perhaps you revert still wait so many peoples are there who'll do it same because it's officially announced. EkRahgir (talk) 13:49, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

Not adhering to policies and then edit warring even after clear mention is disruptive editing. That's what you did there. References are not end-of-all in Wikipedia. Read about the policies I linked above. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 13:55, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

I'm New here, trying to learn and improve things. So when It'll changed to new name? may i know? EkRahgir (talk) 13:59, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

That's fine. The process is to request a page move (discussion) in the respective article talk page. People will post their views (support, oppose, etc). If the consensus gets in favor of the change, the article is moved to a new namespace, otherwise it stays. Considering it is a very recent case, it will not be moved now, may be after a few month or a year. Note that the discussion isn't same as 'vote'. Since Port Blair is known by that name for decades (making it the commonname), it should take some time. Hope I'm clear. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 14:08, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

Yes sir, now I'm clear. Thank you!

I just wanted to know, can people share their social media handle on Wikipedia talk to connect over them? EkRahgir (talk) 14:13, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

Most welcome . You can link your SM handle in your user profile. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 14:19, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

Can we connect on Instagram, I have to learn/know/ask various things regarding wiki? If yes, Please connect with username: Ek_rahgir. EkRahgir (talk) 14:22, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

I don't have an Insta acc. You can mail to my Wikipedia email ID though. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 11:57, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
