User talk:Aditi happyshappy

Welcome!
Hello, Aditi happyshappy, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was User:Aditi happyshappy/sandbox, 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.&#32;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 our use and policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

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 Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:41, 27 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Hi Aditi_happyshappy. It appears that you are quite new to Wikipedia editing which means that you might not be aware that Wikipedia has various policies and guidelines that all editors are expected to comply with. So, I've added the above template because it contain links to various pages which I think pertain to you and which you might find to be helpful. Please read through those pages carefully and familiarize yourself with them. Even though Wikipedia does not expressly prohibit conflict of interest editing, it is something which is highly discouraged because it can often lead to some serious problems. You should pay particularly close attention to WP:PAID because this is one aspect of conflict of interest editing where proper disclosure is required by Wikipedia and failure to do so most likely will lead to your account being blocked. In addition to conflict of interest editing, there are some other things you should be aware of as follows:


 * 1) User talk pages are one of the main ways that editors communicate with each other, which means they are not really good places to work on drafts for future articles. So, I have moved the draft you were working to your user sandbox at User:Aditi happyshappy/sandbox. You can find by either clicking on the blue link to the sandbox I added to the previous sentence, or by clicking on "Sandbox" at the top of your screen. If you would like to keep you're sandbox free for something else and would like to move the content to another user subpage of the draft namespace, then you can do so. I just picked your main sandbox as temporary location to place the content after removing it from your user talk page.
 * 2) Most articles about companies and organizations, etc. tend to be deleted because of either (1) being too promotional or (2) being non-Wikipedia notable. Having a conflict-of-interest with the subject matter might make it harder for you to write about something in a neutral tone and unintentionally the draft may start to read more like an advertisement/promotional piece than something appropriate for Wikipedia. It's not impossible for a COI editor to write neutrally; it just can be hard particularly for new editors unfamiliar with Wikipedia. So, just keep that in mind. Wikipedia notability, however, is a bit trickier to get a handle on because Wikipedia defines notability in a specific way. It's a good idea to familiarize yourself with WP:GNG and WP:ORG, so you know how the draft you're working on is going to be assessed. You need to understand that there are many companies throughout the world which are good companies operated by good people, but simply existing is not in and of itself automatically a reason for a Wikipedia article to written about such a company. Moreover, not having a Wikipedia article does not mean the company is any worse than a company which does have a Wikipedia article.
 * 3) When you think you're draft is ready for submission, please submitted for review via Wikipedia:Articles for creation. This give experienced editors the chance to assess what you've written and make suggestions on ways they think the content can be improved. Any article can be nominated for deletion at any time by any editor, but drafts which are approved by AfC tend to have less serious problems which are easier to fix in a way which doesn't necessary involve deletion. You're not required to submit things via AfC, but it is recommended for newer editors who may not have much experience writing articles.
 * 4) You need to be very careful when you upload any image files to Wikipedia or Wikimedia Commons. You must make sure the licensing you choose meets WP:COPY and c:COM:L. While it's OK to make mistakes, there's very little room for error here and improperly licensed files will be deleted if they cannot be fixed or their copyright status/ownership cannot be verified. Jsut for reference, "own work" means you are the actual creator of the image or the actual person you took the photo; it does not mean you found the file somewhere online, downloaded it to your computerm and the subsequently uploaded it to Wikipedia or Commons. So, please read c:COM:OTRS, WP:DCP, WP:IUP and WP:CONSENT to better familiarize yourself with file licensing and file use.
 * If you have any questions about the above, you can ask them here or you can ask for help at the Wikipedia Teahouse. Good luck with your editing. -- Marchjuly (talk) 02:18, 27 April 2018 (UTC)
