User talk:Siddhant2709

Hello Siddhant2709, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Indian Music Industry have been removed, as they appear to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues here.

You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Greyjoy^talk 07:17, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Siddhant2709. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article Indian Music Industry, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. Editing for the purpose of advertising or promotion is not permitted. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Longhair\^talk 07:53, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

December 2017

Your addition to Indian Music Industry has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Greyjoy^talk 08:39, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"Official page" problem

Your edit summary here shows a serious problem with your understanding about how Wikipedia works. There is no official page that the article subject or anyone representing it controls. None. Wikipedia works ONLY by reliable sources, and that doesn't mean limited to only "official" charts. You need to read over the reliable source page and especially over the WP:COI page you've already been directed. I'm glad you did declare the conflict of interest already as that does help some, but you need to follow the COI guidelines. Ravensfire (talk) 05:34, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for editing Wikipedia as a paid employee of an article subject without disclosure, in violation of Wikipedia's Terms of Use.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Yunshui ^雲 _水 10:02, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Siddhant2709, I'm a regular editor here, not an admin, so take anything I say as my personal opinion and advice. An indefinite block doesn't mean an infinite block, but you need to convince Yunshui that you'll work within Wikipedia's policies and guidelines and not be a disruptive editor. Wikipedia's requirements around WP:PAID editing are pretty stringent. While it's allowed, you need to make certain disclosures. As you work for IMI, editing on their page generally means you fall into the paid editor description. You've also got an obvious conflict of interest, so you need to follow the WP:COI guidelines. You need to acknowledge that you don't control the IMI Wikipedia page, and let's be really honest here, even if you want, you cannot. The best way for you to help here is to use the article's talk page to suggest edits backed up with good reliable sources, and ask other editors to make those edits for you. Trying to take ownership of a page is seen as disruptive. If you are unblocked, you'll need to use the article talk page and work with editors by suggested edits and sources that can help improve the page. Good luck!
