Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from 1928 Institute into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted copied template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. Cordless Larry (talk) 14:23, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

As previously advised, your edits, such as the edit you made to 1928 Institute, give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at User:Bas009, and the template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. Cordless Larry (talk) 21:32, 29 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Hello,
 * As asked, I have stated on my user page that I am not being compensated or paid, directly or indirectly, by the 1928 Institute and simply have an interest in their work as someone in the British-Indian sphere. Bas009 (talk) 21:40, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks for this. Could you explain where you got the information that the 1928 Institute was a hosting partner of the "Ideas for India" conference? It's not in the source that you cited. Neither is the information you added on the APPG verified by the sources you cited. Cordless Larry (talk) 07:18, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Hello,
 * For the Ideas for India conference, here's a graphic by the official Bridge India twitter page.
 * https://twitter.com/bridgeindiaorg/status/1526110034387779586?s=46&t=vIskQ67TOhKklcWJYOQbSg
 * For the APPG, here's the link on the website which confirms it.
 * https://www.appgindia.org/expert-network
 * I'll update the sources accordingly Bas009 (talk) 20:35, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Please don't. An unverified Twitter account isn't a good source and this sort of thing needs secondary coverage, such as in a newspaper. On the APPG, that site doesn't support your claim that the 1928 Institute took over from the Confederation of Indian Industry, but I've used a news source to note that they act as the secretariat at least.
