User talk:Helene Basu Artikel

Welcome!
Hello, Helene Basu Artikel, 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, 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 of use and our policy on paid editing.

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.

edited my talk page as their sole contribution, I assume that since you wrote the article concerned, it is you editing while logged out. Please note that registered users should not edit while logged out, that is strongly discouraged. You should also provide a link to the page you are writing about.

Each language Wikipedia is independent, and in general the English language Wikipedia has stricter rules than de-wiki, so acceptance there is irrelevant to en-wiki. You said We are former students.... Please note that on en-wiki accounts may only be operated by an individual.

You have an obvious conflict of interest, please don't write about yourself, your friends or relatives and read the guidance below:
 * When you write about a person, you must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that they meet the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the person or an associated organisation, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the person claims or interviewing them. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls.
 * your text didn't contain a single in-line references. There are some what look like malformed url links at the end, but we don't know what parts of the text each is supporting, they don't work, and it's clear that if they did they mostly would link to pages associated with her, eg this, rather than independent third-party sources.
 * She may be notable, but we can't establish that if what you claim is unreferenced


 * You must write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic, with verifiable facts, not opinions or reviews.
 * Your text is full of promotional claims and opinions eg '' She has been at the forefront... the latest research on all the main aspects of the pluralistic Hindu traditions in original essays written by the world’s foremost scholars... Some of her most important works...


 * There shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections.
 * You must not copy text from elsewhere. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial; text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient. I didn't check since I was going to delete antway, but since your text didn't contain a single wikilink, eg University of Münster or proper reference, it may well be a copied text dump.

Not a reason for deletion, but your publications lists are not formatted correctly. Examples from a different article are and

You seem unhappy that I deleted your draft, but that is pretty well inevitable when you have made no attempt to comply with our rules.

Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Also read Your first article. You must also reply to the COI request above. Jimfbleak - talk to me?  13:21, 19 October 2022 (UTC)


 * I've just looked at the German article, I'm astonished that unsourced text about a living person is acceptable there. It also confirms a copyright violation in that you have translated the German page without acknowledgement. Although Wikipedia text is free to copy, modify or translate, you must acknowledge the source Jimfbleak - talk to me?  13:28, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I also see that the German article was accepted when it had in-line references before your edits made it worse Jimfbleak - talk to me?  13:35, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
