User talk:Ankurborwankar

Welcome!
Hello, Ankurborwankar, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;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.&#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, 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).

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * The plain and simple conflict of interest guide
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * 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 Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! — billinghurst  sDrewth  02:55, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

Paid editing
Hi. In addition to the conflict of interest policy to which I directed you to above, it is also very important that you follow the terms of service about paid editing. As a journalist who should understand about conflict of interest, it is already a bit of a black mark for you to have come and added your site and created your own biography. :-( — billinghurst  sDrewth  02:57, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Ankur Borwankar


The article Ankur Borwankar has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Promotional article w/ COI concerns. Lack of independent third-party sources."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Reply to user billinghust
Hello user billinghurst, I'm new to Wikipedia contributions and I'm not sure how to tag you or other users (I'm working on figuring out how). I sincerely apologise if there was any oversight of violation of ToS on my part. It is not my intention to promote Indus Dictum or my personal profile, and I am very careful about the conflicts of interest that may arise from my contributions. I assure you that any and all information that I have entered here is factually correct to the best of my knowledge, and I urge you most kindly to not delete this page about myself. I understand it is difficult to remain neutral when speaking about oneself, and I would greatly appreciate any help you can offer as to which portions of the text need to be changed. I do once again offer my sincerest apologies for any oversights. None of the information I have submitted is fraudulent, and I am a well known journalist and entrepreneur in my city. I would be happy to share with you any verifications you may need in these matters. I hope we can edit the page to comply with the regulations, and will be glad to make the necessary changes immediately. Thank you. — Ankurborwankar (talk) 22:44, 4 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, writing about yourself is strongly discouraged, for reasons explained at Wikipedia is not about YOU and Autobiography. No one is capable of being an objective judge of his or her own notability. Also, the references you supplied appear to be written by you, but none of them is about you. When an article's subject is you, then you have to be the subject of the writings that are cited. Anything that you say about yourself that doesn't appear in a reliable third-party source will be disqualified as unverifiable original research. Your own personal knowledge and experience may be true, but if it's never been covered by a third party, it cannot exist on Wikipedia. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 18:34, 5 November 2017 (UTC)


 * I understand. Please let me know how to delete the page. — Ankurborwankar (talk) 08:07, 6 November 2017 (UTC)


 * I'm asking for an opinion on that. Authors can nominate their own pages for speedy deletion, but I'm not sure if it's appropriate here because there is an open Articles for deletion debate. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 18:14, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Well, it looks like an admin noticed your comment and deleted it. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 18:16, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
