Paid Editing
Hello Housofx. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Housofx. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. -Roxy the grumpy dog . wooF 12:03, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

Housofx, even if you are not being paid to edit, your edits are still unacceptable as they are almost entirely promotional. Looking at the text you added here, it is written as if it were an advert for the business school. In addition, even though you included a couple of sources, most of the content is in fact unsourced. --bonadea contributions talk 13:34, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

Indefinite partial block
 You have been blocked indefinitely from editing XLRI – Xavier School of Management for adding promotional content. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:.

What I added was not promotional content, but sourced directly from the school's website - https://www.xlri.ac.in/delhi-ncr-campus.aspx, but no one is willing to do the groundwork, check and edit the content if it appears to be promotional, and instead you guys block someone trying to update outdated info. Have at it. This page is now a filled with outdated info and the mods seem proud to help anyone or reframe the content, instead block and abuse their power. Lol. Have at it.

 * It was promotional. That is why I removed it, per my edit summary. The marketing language used was unsuitable for an encyclopedia, and there was insufficicent independant sourcing to support what little was there that wasn't promotional. Now, you have been permanently blocked from editing that article only. There are more than six million other articles here for you to edit, and as you have no personal interest in XLRI, it shouldn't be a problem for you to find something else to edit. Good luck. -Roxy the grumpy dog . wooF 16:07, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Further ... I just read that you copied from the schools website. For the record, you should not do that as it is a violation of copyright law, we call it WP:COPYVIO. -Roxy the grumpy dog . wooF 16:10, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
