User talk:Shaunik Dadh

Welcome!

Hello, Shaunik Dadh, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Savitri Khanolkar, which 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.

thank you for your explanations.

The Savitri Khanolkar page was added to and corrected by me more than 10 years ago (if I remember correctly), she has recently generated interest and it is annoying to read incorrect information. I am rather tired of telling inquirers NOT to consult the wiki-page. I do not believe I am "too close" to the subject. I resent the assumption that as I knew her all my life, I do not know the facts. I worry about the "bollywoodization" of her life story Shaunik Dadh (talk) 18:33, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Because you are a family member, you have a conflict of interest. —C.Fred (talk) 18:45, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

in theory that sounds reasonable but in practice it means people who do NOT have the correct facts and who have political agendas are allowed to add their edits whereas I am forbidden from doing so!! 103.210.33.244 (talk) 20:09, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I will formulate a text and submit it to you in a few days as I understand your concerns 103.210.33.244 (talk) 20:11, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Normally I'd say it's not that hard to provide the information, but if it's in newspapers that aren't readily available online, I can see where there'd be a delay. —C.Fred (talk) 20:12, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
