Your recent edits
Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 23:23, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Photo Licensing
If the photo is copyrighted, you will need to get written permission (I think) and submit it to Wikipedia through something called OTRS. I would ask here as I'm not really familiar with the photo policies. I'm sure there's some kind of stipulation though. They'll be able to tell you.  ~ Qwerp Qwertus   · _Talk_ · _Contribs_ ·  18:33, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Re: Request for help
Your article on Siddarth Kara looks good. I am no expert on the subject or on reviewing new articles, but you have a good number of references, which is one of the most common failings of new articles. You seem to be in line with the most important three policies - neutrality, verifiability and no original research, although I would also double check that he meets the notability guideline for academics.

Unfortunately, I have no epertise when it comes to images - I have only ever uploaded images that I have created. However, there is a very useful page at WP:IUP on the various policies you need to be familiar with, and the help desk should be able to answer any further questions promptly. strdst_grl (call me Stardust) 13:36, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Siddarth Kara
Wow - it looks pretty good! The info under the photo is good, but it generally won't get tagged - you usually have to submit it to Requests For Feedback, but since you already have, I'll just take it off. Happy editing! ~ Qwerp Qwertus  ·  _Talk_ · _Talkback Me_ ·  13:56, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Martinjonson. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Siddharth Kara, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:


 * avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
 * instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the request edit template);
 * when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Cabayi (talk) 08:13, 18 July 2017 (UTC)


 * You also appear to have an undisclosed PAID COI in relation to Aditi Shankardass, "Martin Johnson (assistant to Dr Shankardass)" in contravention of the terms of use and to have lifted text from the sites.google.com website (written 2009) for the article (written 2010).
