Notice of Conflict of interest noticeboard discussion
This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest incident in which you may be involved. The thread is User:Aravind R Menon. Thank you. Brianhe (talk) 05:49, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

Hello!
Hello! I see form your edits that you are associated with the page you are editing. Just a note to say this will cause a lot of problems if you edit page you are connected to, and put comments like you have been leaving (e.g. "I am authorized..."). Please read WP:OWN to see why no one actually owns a wikipedia page. The accepted procedure for connected contributors is to NOT edit the page yourself, as you have a conflict of interest. Instead, you can request edits using the request edit template. You should read this page carefully, where it is all explained! Also you should note that it is not possible for your institution to use Wikipedia as a promotional device, in the sense that you cannot ever own or control this material. Happy editing.

I thank you for taking the time to look into my predicament and I am much obliged for your guidance and advice. I would like to clarify that I am not employed by the Ishan Educational Institutions. I am a student who aspired to join the Ishan Institute Of Management and Technology. I had read up on the institute, on wikipedia, among other platforms, before visiting the campus. It was very evident to me that the information given on wikipedia was inaccurate and obsolete in many respects, as there were many changes to the courses, infrastructures, facilities etc. I conveyed the same to the office staff and sought their approval and permission to edit the information on wikipedia. They were impressed with my enthusiasm and pro-activeness, and gave me the relevant content.

I also want to make it clear that I didn't join the institute, due to personal reasons. I understand that my comment that "I am authorised......etc." is a the reason for the mention of conflict of interest. I hope that it is now clear that it is not the case and that this is a case of miscommunication and misunderstanding. Hence I urge you to withdraw the mention of conflict of interest.

Moreover, I understand that it was a mistake on my part to copy and paste content from the webpage and other material(brochures, prospectus etc.) available on the same page, without the appropriate citations. I hope that the issue of copyright can be resolved if I were to give the necessary citations. I have contacted the Ishan Educational Institutions and they are willing to grant me permission to use the textual material from their website. However, they would like to know the means by which this is to be communicated. Please advice.

I hope that I have been able to convince you that my edits on wikipedia page were not due to any personal attachment to the institute but was the result of a personal experience of having visited the same and seen the discrepancies. I hope that you will have no further objections and I request you to convey the same to your peers who have also reviewed the page.

Thank you for your time. Aravind R Menon (talk) 06:20, 24 May 2016 (UTC) Aravind R Menon

Speedy deletion nomination of Ishan Institute of Architecture and Planning


A tag has been placed on Ishan Institute of Architecture and Planning, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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 removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. Jytdog (talk) 22:16, 23 May 2016 (UTC)

 * After reading this, I understand that you don't have a conflict of interest.
 * However, you are going to need to realize that Wikipedia can only host copyrighted material in cases where it can't be replaced by non-copyrighted/free culture copyright licensed. Please rewrite everything in your words--not a close paraphrase of the original material, but actually your own words. -- I dream of horses If you reply here, please ping me by adding to your message (talk to me) (My edits) @  03:12, 25 May 2016 (UTC)

 * What I'm trying to say that it doesn't matter that they're okay with it. You're going to need to use your own words because of Wikipedias' copyright policy. You could, in theory, go to OTRS and get confirmation that way, but organizations are very rarely willing to let others modify and sell the words and logos they come up with, and won't copyright them under a partially copyrighted, free culture license. -- I dream of horses If you reply here, please ping me by adding to your message (talk to me) (My edits) @  15:21, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
