UpGrad moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, UpGrad, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Lapablo (talk) 18:23, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

Hello Lapablo, I appreciate your concern. I've tried to support the entire text with citations from independent sources. Please go through the citations and let me know what else is required. upGrad has reached the notability criteria in India and there are a lot of working professionals like me who would be interested in knowing more about it in the most neutral way. Best, (Kulwinder Rishi (talk) 18:41, 8 March 2020 (UTC))

Recreating page after being moved to Draft
Please do not submit multiple copies of drafts. It does not increase the likelihood that one of them will be accepted into article space, and annoys the reviewers. It is likely to be seen as an effort to game the system, and may result in the drafts being nominated for deletion. Lapablo (talk) 18:57, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

I haven't added any more draft. You left a message for deletion, so for that I had added my comments on the Talk page, and suddenly saw the previous comments gone.(Kulwinder Rishi (talk) 19:00, 8 March 2020 (UTC))

And after your notification, I'm not going to move it myself, as stated in my previous message to you. There's no hurry on my side. Thank you.(Kulwinder Rishi (talk) 19:00, 8 March 2020 (UTC))

Welcome to the GOCE!
Hello Kulwinder Rishi and welcome to the Guild of Copy Editors (GOCE)! We are glad that you have decided to help us in our mission to improve the quality of writing on the English Wikipedia! Here are some links that you might find helpful to get started on your copy-editing journey!


 * A how-to guide to Wikipeda copyediting
 * Wikipedia's Manual of Style (MOS), a helpful guide to refer to while copy editing
 * A simplified version of the above
 * A quick guide to writing on Wikipedia

You can help with copy-editing requests if you already have familiarity with the MOS and considerable English copy-editing skills, or start with articles tagged for copy editing to gain experience.

Thank you so much for joining the GOCE, we appreciate it!

For the GOCE, -- Puddleglum 2.0 (How's my driving?) 18:57, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I'm glad to be a part of Guild of Copy Editors (GOCE)! Here's to good copy-editing and self-learning along the way. Kulwinder Rishi (talk) 19:08, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

Editing with a possible paid conflict of interest
Hello Kulwinder Rishi. 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 egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat SEO.

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:Kulwinder Rishi. 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. SamHolt6 (talk) 17:49, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Hello SamHolt6, I've hardly made any edits in the past few weeks. I thought of creating a page for one of India's largest professional learning platform as due to COVID-19, online learning has gained momentum worldwide. For some reason, that page was deleted, and I'm already in talk with one of reviewers to get it back. The only other page I'm working on is something I picked from WIRED - Women in Red, and that too is in AfC mode. The lady wrestler cannot pay me or anyone, she's already struggling in her life. Which edits are you talking about for which you think I'm getting paid - there are no edits, whatsoever.Kulwinder Rishi (talk) 17:58, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
 * ok, thanks for the prompt reply. I wanted to check given your interest in UpGrad, which unfortunately has attracted undisclosed paid editors in the past. Can you reiterate that you have not been compensated (see WP:PAID for details) for your past creations (Ritesh Agarwal, Oyo Rooms)? Thanks. SamHolt6 (talk) 18:08, 25 April 2020 (UTC)

I have never been paid for Wikipedia, Sam! OYO Rooms and Ritesh Agarwal, I had created way back and they've turned out to be unicorns. With the same eye, I had created a page for UpGrad and I didn't know that it ever existed in the past and was deleted. And I'm wondering why it was deleted because I had tried to keep it neutral and support with good references. I could not participate in the deletion contest because I'm not a full-time Wikipedian like others who manage to do tens of edits in a day. Rather, I do wiki edits during weekends only or if I come across something obnoxious while reading a wiki article, that must be corrected immediately.Kulwinder Rishi (talk) 18:16, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Ok, thank you for your time. Best. SamHolt6 (talk) 18:31, 25 April 2020 (UTC)

Thanks, SamHolt6 Kulwinder Rishi (talk) 18:40, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
 * That is bullshit. You are now blocked. MER-C 12:33, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

MER-C Mind your language.Kulwinder Rishi (talk) 17:43, 26 April 2020 (UTC) It's people like you who don't let others work voluntarily on Wikipedia. You must have some conflict of interest, otherwise, it is not possible for anyone to spend hours on Wikipedia besides a full-time job. I completed my 100th edit in 3-4 years just last week. Kindly make your profile public, tell us who are you, what you do to earn a living. And don't think I'm justifying this to you, people like you don't really matter - who first don't know how to speak on a public platform and take actions out of no reasoning, threatening others just to show their superiority. SamHolt6 Liz Abishe Guys, I need your help in dealing with all this negativity on Wikipedia.Kulwinder Rishi (talk) 17:54, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
