Edits on Igor Kufayev
Hi, welcome to Wikipedia.

I am afraid that you may have been solicited by another editor as one of his "friends" to make non-neutral edits to this article.

I hope you have read the discussion on the article's talk page; if not, please do so now. Please be aware that articles on living persons must be neutral and cited to reliable, independent sources. That means, for an artist, sources like newspapers which are not linked either to the artist or to galleries which sell his work. For a religious or spiritual 'guru', it means sources like academic journals which are unconnected either to the person or to the group / church / organisation involved.

The article is already tagged at its top for the key issues involved, so you must have seen that these concerns already exist with recent editing. Unfortunately your edits aggravate the situation.

I looked over the article carefully a while back and found that most of it didn't meet those criteria. You have now, as a very new editor, boldly reinstated a large amount of this non-neutral or unreliably-cited material without consensus, and without apparently checking the situation.

Please therefore take this as a formal notice that 1) any or all of you edits may be reverted; 2) that you need urgently to familiarise yourself with Wikipedia's core policies; and 3) that if you continue to edit in this unsatisfactory way - it certainly looks like a conflict of interest - that sanctions are available.

I intend to work to improve the situation when I'm back at my desk. Meanwhile it would be helpful if you would carefully consider the text you have added in the light of policy, and seek reliable independent sources to support the claims made. Chiswick Chap (talk) 16:13, 22 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Well, I've heard nothing, and have therefore undone your changes, which are not really justifiable. I note that you have not joined any discussion, either here or on the article's talk page, and that your changes were all attempts to restore materials that had been removed in line with both the talk page discussion and the tags highlighting major issues at the top of the article. If you have a point to make, make it on the talk page and we can discuss it. Thank you. Chiswick Chap (talk) 21:15, 25 December 2022 (UTC)

Welcome!
Hello, Lakshmanaji, 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.
