Pyladies
Hallo Annakoppad: If you want to save Pyladies from proposed deletion, you don't add deprod to the article or to your talk page. As it says on the template, you may simply remove the template from the article. But you are strongly encouraged either to improve the article to meet the reason for deletion, or to say why you disagree. In this case, the organisation has not been shown to be WP:NOTABLE in Wikipedia terms - it needs to show independent reliable sources about the topic, not just its own facebook page etc. If a newspaper or magazine has had an article about the group, for example, please give that as a reference.

I also noticed the article you started at Patent Information System, but have moved it to a title which matches the content: Rajiv Gandhi National Institute of Intellectual Property Management, with links from RGNIIPM and NIIPM. Again, please add external sources which show the notability of this institution; it might be better perhaps as a section within the article on Indian Patent Office, unless there is more to say about it than that it exists. Pam D  08:09, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Annakoppad. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article Pyladies Bangalore, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, please:


 * avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your circle, your organization, its competitors, projects or products;
 * instead propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the request edit template);
 * when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * exercise great caution so that you do not violate 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).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Pam D  08:20, 12 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Hi Anna, Pyladies Bangalore sounds like a splendid and worthwhile local organisation, but (a) there's no evidence that it should have its own Wikipedia article, and (b) if it does, you as founder should not be writing it. I suggest that you contribute something on the talk page of the main PyLadies article, suggesting content about the Bangalore chapter which should be included in that article. Pam  D  08:25, 12 May 2016 (UTC)


 * I've left a comment at Talk:PyLadies. Pam  D  08:30, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

Speedy Deletions
Hi, As you can see, Wikipedia has guidelines for what is and what is not notable. Furthermore, EVERY article needs references. I suggest you read through some of the guidelines on what is and what isn't notable. Keep in mind that while you may think a teacher is notable, WP:PROF we go by Wikipedia guidelines, the same is for athletes. Sir Joseph <sup style="color:green;">(talk) 15:12, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

Welcome!
Hello, Annakoppad, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your recent edits has not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and has been or will be removed. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or in other media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles. Additionally, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to the new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Here are a few other good links for newcomers:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Help pages
 * Tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Simplified Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or. Again, welcome. Sir Joseph <sup style="color:green;">(talk) 15:12, 15 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Sir Joseph, Thanks for writing up in great detail. Regarding the verifiability of my pages, I can quote sources, I do not cut, copy, paste or write things from my imaginations. Especially regarding the Scientists, I have collected the information from them itself, took their permission to write about them on Wikipedia, and then started writing about them. If that does not qualify for verifiability, please do let me know what does? I appreciate your efforts in reviewing and nominating pages that I have created. However, it would make sense to verify if I had the information handy about the content that I was writing. Thanks and regards, Annapoornima
 * Your articles have zero references.
 * Just being a college teacher or even full professor is not notable enough for an encyclopedia. Sir Joseph <sup style="color:green;">(talk) 15:42, 15 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Articles do not need to be "Notable" from the start. The criterion for an A7 speedy deletion is that no assertion of importance or significance is made, a much lower bar. Some of this editor's articles have references which are not properly formatted as such, like the "further reading" in Monika Malik.


 * Anna, you need to make sure that you make it clear in each article why that person is Notable. I see that you have given Monika Malik categories suggesting that she is playing in the Rio Olympics, but you have neither stated that fact nor given any reference which supports it. Find that reference, give that information, and she not only is not eligible for speedy deletion as A7 but automatically gets "Notability" under WP:ATHLETE.


 * You do not need to "take permission" to write about anyone: in fact if you know them well you should not be writing about them - see WP:COI. You need to find independent reliable sources, and then use these as references, showing which part of your article is supported by which source (not just as a list of "further reading").


 * As another point: please do not invent categories, unless you are going to actually create them. If when you have edited an article the category is shown in red it it because it does not exist. Please also note that we don't include all the "parent" categories, so if someone is in Category:Indian female field hockey players we don't also need to add Category:Indian field hockey players or Category:Indian sportswomen, though it's reasonable to add Category:Sportswomen from Haryana (which I have just created, as it fits into the existing hierarchy of categories). Pam  D  16:28, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
 * In particular watch out for capital letters in category names: it's "Indian field hockey players" not "Indian Field Hockey Players", and it matters. Pam  D  16:33, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
 * I will use devote more efforts on formatting from now on wards.

Proposed deletion of Debashree Mazumdar


The article Debashree Mazumdar has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern:
 * No assertion of notability, fails ATHLETE.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article 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.

Ways to improve Banibrata Mukhopadhyay
Hi, I'm Lithopsian. Annakoppad, thanks for creating Banibrata Mukhopadhyay!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. I'm concerned that the article lacks references for much of the biographical information, and also that the impression given about the discovery of super-Chandrasekhar white dwarfs is not historically correct.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. Lithopsian (talk) 20:30, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

The goal is for users to create new articles on Asian-related content, each at least 3,000 bytes and 300 words in length. Editors who create at least four articles will receive a Wikipedia Asian Month postcard!

Also be sure to check out the Wikipedia Asian Art Month affiliate event - creating articles on Asian art topics can get you a Metropolitan Museum of Art postcard!

If you're interested, please sign up here for the English Wikipedia. If you are interested in also working on other language editions of Wikipedia, please visit the meta page to see other participating projects. If you have any questions, please visit our talk page.

Thank you!

Hello, I'm Zackmann08. Thank you for your recent contributions to Amar Pandit. I noticed that when you added the image to the infobox, you added it as a thumbnail. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this:

SomeImage.jpg

Instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do:

SomeImage.jpg.

There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as Some image caption. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks!

Owner of article
Would you please explain what you meant in this comment, where you wrote I am the owner of the article.? Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 04:10, 6 December 2017 (UTC)


 * By owner of the article, I mean that I created the article and I am still looking out so that the page not be deleted. Thanks, Annakoppad (talk) 04:30, 6 December 2017 (UTC)::
 * Thanks for replying. I'll have more to say about that in a moment. Would you please disclose if you are being paid, have been paid, or expect to be paid, for this work? Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 04:39, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
 * I am being paid for this work.I have not received money still but I am promised that they will pay me. Thanks Annakoppad (talk) 07:08, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for replying. Have you disclosed this somewhere before now? Also, would you please disclose who is paying you, and if you are an employee of Fortis, a freelancer, or are working through an agency? Jytdog (talk) 14:25, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
 * I have disclosed about getting paid to write, on my talk page[| paid to write]. Avni Sharma is paying me this time. I work as a freelancer, the payer is not the same. Annakoppad (talk) 15:08, 6 December 2017 (UTC)Annakoppad
 * So... the PAID policy and the Terms of Use require specific disclosure. What you have done so far is not OK with respect to disclosure, and you are also editing directly on behalf of your clients, which is not what you should do.  So let's start with getting disclosure completed.   We need to assemble a list of the articles and who paid for them.  Before we do that, however, would you please clarify if Avni Sharma is paying you out of his/her own personal bank account, or if Avni Sharma is an employee of a company (or runs a company), and that company is actually paying you?  For example there is an Avni Sharma who is a VP at Operation Write, a digital marketing company.  Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 16:27, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi Jytdog, can you please point me to the paid policy and the terms of Use? I know Avni Sharma paid out of her personal bank account.I do not know much of her background. Annakoppad (talk) 11:36, 7 December 2017 (UTC)Annakoppad

WP:PAID. So I can help you get the disclosure done appropriately. So you need to disclose "employer, client, and affiliation" for each paid edit. Please start by listing here, all the articles you have edited for pay, and who paid you, and who the client was, and the affiliation. I will give you some examples, where there are question marks, I don't know the answer but am giving examples

It could also be: It could be:
 * article = Fortis Bangalore, employer = Avni Sharma (you said this is who is actually paying you), client = Fortis Healthcare (?), affiliation = hired through Freelancer (?). (if you were a freelancer hired by Avni Sharma through the Freelancer website)
 * article = Fortis Bangalore, employer = "DigitalMarketing, Inc," (?) client = Fortis Healthcare, affiliation = nothing additional.   (if you were an employee of a digital marketing or PR agency that was hired by Fortis)
 * article = Fortis Bangalore, employer = "DigitalMarketing, Inc", (?) client = Fortis Healthcare, affiliation = hired though UpWork.   (if you were contracting for a digital marketing or PR agency that was hired by Fortis, and you were contracted through Upwork)

Would you please provide that list below? Once that is done, we can get the disclosure done correctly and then we talk about the "prior review" step. Thanks! Jytdog (talk) 14:57, 7 December 2017 (UTC) Annakoppad (talk) 05:23, 10 December 2017 (UTC)

(for example, if you were contracted to write an article and it was deleted so you didn't get paid, you still need to disclose that you did it with expectation of being paid)  Please also add "affiliation" (for instance if you were hired through UpWork or Freelancer or the like, please add that).

 * So what about Penny De Villiers, Jay Hunter, Banibrata Mukhopadhyay (I mean, here you wrote that "The information on the page is as I have received it from the professor himself." so there is some kind of external relationship there..)? Just wanted to ask a last time, and then we will move on.  Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 03:07, 17 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Ok, I got paid by Penny herself to do the article on her. She found me on Linkedin. But that got deleted. Jay Hunter was paid by Manjunath. I did Banibrata Mukhopadhyay for free, where I got the information is at Indian Institute of Science.Annakoppad (talk) 03:21, 17 December 2017 (UTC)Annakoppad
 * Listen, I have other things I want to do in Wikipedia. I am trying to help you fully disclose and then learn how we manage conflict of interest, but you are giving me half-answers that contradict other things you say. Here you wrote that "The information on the page is as I have received it from the professor himself.   But just above you wrote that you got the information from IIS.  Please disclose, all the work you did for pay or for expectation of pay, who paid you and any relevant affiliation.  If you give me another half-answer, I will stop trying to help you and start working to have you indefinitely blocked. Jytdog (talk) 20:55, 18 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi Jytdog, I got the information from the professor Banibrata Mukhopadhyay himself who works at Indian Institute of Science. I don't have any more paid work apart from the ones I have mentioned here.Annakoppad (talk) 03:28, 19 December 2017 (UTC)Annakoppaad
 * OK:
 * 1) Would you please copy the list above to your Userpage? It should be disclosed there.   It should also be disclosed at the Talk page of any relevant article.  I took care of those (see for example here -- you should do this yourself).
 * 2) Would you please disclose your connection with Banibrata Mukhopadhyay? I can accept that he did not pay you, but you obviously have some connection, since he sent you the material that you posted.  Would you please define the relationship?  Paid editing is only one kind of conflict of interest. There are many kinds.
 * 3) I want to move this along, so please see below about what else you should do, along with the disclosing. Jytdog (talk) 04:27, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
 * I worked for a brief period @ Indian Institute of Science where Banibrata Mukhopadhyayalso works. He is a professor.I have never met or spoken to him. But I have found his email ID on the institute website. Annakoppad (talk) 05:35, 19 December 2017 (UTC)Annakoppad

Rest of the COI management process
Please do reply above. I am just starting a new section to save scrolling.

Thanks for disclosing your paid editing above, as well as your relationship with Banibrata Mukhopadhyay whatever that may be.

So you have conflicts of interest for all those topics, as we define that in Wikipedia.

As I noted above, disclosure is just the first step. There is a second step to COI management in Wikipedia -- prior review. This piece may seem a bit strange to you at first, but if you think about it, it will make sense. In Wikipedia, editors can immediately publish their work, with no intervening publisher or standard peer review -- you can just create an article, click save, and voilà there is a new article, and you can go into any article, make changes, click save, and done. No intermediary - no publisher, no "editors" as that term is used in the real world. So the bias that conflicted editors tend to have, can go right into the article. Conflicted editors are also really driven to try to make the article fit with their external interest. If they edit directly, this often leads to big battles with other editors.

What we ask editors to do who have a COI or who are paid, and want to work on articles where their COI is relevant, is:
 * a) if you want to create an article relevant to a COI you have, create the article as a draft through the WP:AFC process, disclose your COI on the Talk page with the Template:Connected contributor (paid) tag, and then submit the draft article for review (the AfC process sets up a nice big button for you to click when it is ready) so it can be reviewed before it publishes; and
 * b) And if you want to change content in any existing article on a topic where you have a COI, we ask you to
 * (i) disclose at the Talk page of the article with the Template:Connected contributor (paid) tag, putting it at the bottom of the beige box at the top of the page; and
 * (ii) propose content on the Talk page for others to review and implement before it goes live, instead of doing it directly yourself. Just open a new section, put the proposed content there, and just below the header (at the top of the editing window) please the  tag to flag it for other editors to review.  In general it should be relatively short so that it is not too much review at once.  Sometimes editors propose complete rewrites, providing a link to their sandbox for example.  This is OK to do but please be aware that it is lot more for volunteers to process and will probably take longer.

By following those "peer review" processes, editors with a COI can contribute where they have a COI, and the integrity of WP can be protected. We get some great contributions that way, when conflicted editors take the time to understand what kinds of proposals are OK under the content policies. (There are good faith paid editors here, who have signed and follow the Statement on Wikipedia from participating communications firms, and there are "black hat" paid editors here who lie about what they do and really harm Wikipedia).

But understanding the mission, and the policies and guidelines through which we realize the mission, is very important! There are a whole slew of policies and guidelines that govern content and behavior here in Wikipedia. Please see User:Jytdog/How for an overview of what Wikipedia is and is not (we are not a directory or a place to promote anything), and for an overview of the content and behavior policies and guidelines. Learning and following these is very important, and takes time. Please be aware that you have created a Wikipedia account, and this makes you a Wikipedian - you are obligated to pursue Wikipedia's mission first and foremost when you work here, and you are obligated to edit according to the policies and guidelines. Editing Wikipedia is a privilege that is freely offered to all, but the community restricts or completely takes that privilege away from people who will not edit and behave as Wikipedians.

I hope that makes sense to you.

Will you please agree to learn and follow the content and behavioral policies and guidelines, and to follow the peer review processes going forward when you want to work on the any article you are paid to work on, or where you have some other form of COI? Do let me know, and if anything above doesn't make sense I would be happy to discuss. Best regards Jytdog (talk) 04:35, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for your time. I have read the above.Some of it,I understand. I agree to learn more and follow. Annakoppad (talk) 05:35, 19 December 2017 (UTC)Annakoppad
 * OK< if you have any questions about this, let me know. The basic idea is that you should disclose any conflict of interest you have and propose content, instead of editing directly. Jytdog (talk) 05:53, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Beagle Company

Speedy deletion nomination of Rajiv Gandhi National Institute of Intellectual Property Management


A tag has been placed on Rajiv Gandhi National Institute of Intellectual Property Management requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://www.ipindia.nic.in/public-training-schedule-rg.htm. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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.

Removal of tag from Talk:Adam Bragg
Please explain why you did this and this. Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 16:37, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
 * I was asked by Mehul Shah to remove the tag. Thanks and regards, Annakoppad (talk) 03:20, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Hm. Please don't do that. The tags are there to inform editors working on the article about the background.  Our general practice is to have the paid editing disclosure at the user page and at the article talk page. That is our practice; it is does not matter what your client wants.

Unblock appeal

 * Annakoppad appears to be appealing an autoblock here from . When looking into this, I noticed this edit at the WP:COIN where Bengaloorugirl made a comment as if she were Annakoppad, then removed it, and then Annakoppad made essentially the same comment 4 minutes later.

Swarajin2009 removed speedy templates and prod templates from Annakoppad's articles and also contributed significantly to the Beagle article. Annakoppad is claiming they're "friends" but there seems to be significant overlap here. only (talk) 13:50, 24 December 2017 (UTC)

 * The following accounts are ✅:
 * The claim they are "friends" using the same Internet connection is not credible as (1) they are using more than one range and (2) they are using the same devices.
 * The following accounts are to Annakoppad:
 * I've blocked/reblocked all the accounts without tags. Can I impose on you to tag the accounts? Use CU confirmed tags on the first three and suspected tags on the others. I'm fairly certain Annakoppad is the oldest account. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:25, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
