Hello Jshsitar. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about following the reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Fiftytwo thirty (talk) 21:32, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

Status and Advice
As reviewing administrator, I deleted this page. Whoever you may be, you do not own copyright on the page in geocities, as most of what is there and was here contains material from other sources; you do not own it by reprinting it.  DGG ( talk ) 16:58, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

Re; Deletion of "Sitar Music in Calcutta: and Ethnomusicological Study"

Thank you for your comments. Regarding the geocities page, I personally wrote the info found on the page as it is my personal website. The quotes for other sources that related directly to the topic constitute "fair usage" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use. The quotes are short excepts from other sources which have been identified. In this capacity I am entitled to use this material. Best wishes
