User talk:Krishna Subrahmanyam

Welcome!

Hello, Krishna Subrahmanyam, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• Tutorial
• How to edit a page and How to develop articles
• How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
• Simplified Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

Hello Krishna Subrahmanyam. 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:Krishna Subrahmanyam. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Krishna Subrahmanyam|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. 331dot (talk) 10:30, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I am not paid for edits for the article. I have a contact with the company founders. Further if you need any clarification, I will provide. Krishna Subrahmanyam (talk) 02:46, 17 November 2022 (UTC)

Note that "paid editing" is not limited to specific payment for edits or being asked to edit. Any paid relationship triggers the disclosure requirement. Do you have any paid relationship with the company whatsoever? Even if not, you still have a conflict of interest and should disclose that. 331dot (talk) 10:47, 17 November 2022 (UTC)

Yes, I met the founder through common circle. I took the initiative to write about the startup. I found interesting that a startup from tier 2 town of a remote place in India doing a good job. But the fact is we don't have any connect. Still if there is need I will disclose that. I myself told the founders the importance of being on wikipedia, like related startups in India. Krishna Subrahmanyam (talk) 02:15, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

I respect wikipedia through its sources. Kindly suggest best way to make this article for edits. Krishna Subrahmanyam (talk) 06:40, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

Yes, that is considered a conflict of interest that should be disclosed(see WP:COI). Typically an article is written without any communication with, or even the knowledge of, the subject. You have submitted it for a review and it is pending, but I don't think it likely to be accepted. It shouldn't describe the offerings of the company at all, but especially in a promotional manner("the AVERA Retrosa electric scooter is an ideal counterpart for people to switch towards zero carbon emission."). Generally awards are not mentioned unless the award itself merits an article(like Academy Award or Pritzker Prize)- but if an award is mentioned, it must be sourced, most of the awards you list have no source.

I would note, "startups" almost never merit articles. A company typically must be established in its field and recognized by independent reliable sources before meriting an article. Most sources about startups involve announcements of its activites, like the raising of capital or commencement of operations, or interviews, none of which meet our criteria for notability. 331dot (talk) 09:25, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

Yes, Well Noted. Let me go thoroughly about the merits. Accordingly I will go for edits once accepted. Krishna Subrahmanyam (talk) 04:26, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Avera Mobility

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:Avera Mobility, 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 Vick, Kindly give me opportunity to edit the article as per wikipedia guidelines. Krishna Subrahmanyam (talk) 05:21, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Deb. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions 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. Thank you.

You appear to have a close connection to the subject on Wikipedia that raises concerns about a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged.

Anyone with a conflict of interest must avoid or exercise great caution when:

1. editing articles related to you, your family or colleagues, your organization or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with,
2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors,
3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam);

   and you must always:

4. avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially neutral point of view, verifiability, and autobiography.

Note that 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. Even if you are not being paid, you are expected to disclose any close connection with the subject of the article, using the connected contributor template.

For more details about what constitutes a conflict of interest, please see Wikipedia:Conflict of Interest. Thank you.
