User talk:Mike willaims

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles or other Wikipedia pages, as you did to List of Rice University people. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

Hello, Mike willaims. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but 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 ensuring their edits are verified by 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:


 * You need not declare your conflict of interest, but we recommend it.
 * Do not edit articles about yourself, your organization, or your competitors. Do not edit related articles. (Exceptions.)
 * Post suggestions and sources on the article's talk page, or create a draft in your user space.
 * Your role is to summarize, inform and reference &mdash; not to promote, sell, or whitewash.
 * If writing a draft, write without bias, as if you don't work for the company or personally know the subject.
 * Have us review your draft.
 * Work with us and we'll work with you.

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. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 13:54, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:S. Nick Barua.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:S. Nick Barua.jpg, which you've attributed to S(Saikat) Nick Barua. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 08:11, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

S. (Saikat) Nick Barua
Please stop your disruptive editing as you did once more at List of Young Global Leaders, List of Yale University people, List of Rice University people, Rice University, Esmod, and Barua. You obviously have a serious conflict of interest. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a portal for self-promotion - if you do not agree to the goals of this project, Wikipedia simply is not for you. If you do not stop to insert your name and that of relatives into Wikipedia articles without providing independent evidence establishing notability by Wikipedia's criteria (WP:N) and under the local requirements as specified in the corresponding articles, any such additions will be considered as self-promotional SPAM or vandalism disruptive to this project, and it will likely cause your account to be blocked from editing. You have been informed and warned about this issue many times now in edit summaries, on your various dynamic IP talk pages and here. Just stop it!

Also, please note that Wikipedia cannot be used as a reliable reference for itself and that articles citing unsourced statements from Wikipedia cannot be used as well. Also, blogs and simple feeds without substance do not count as reliable reference. And having worked for Microsoft, Norton, Esmod or MaxMara are not notability criteria at all. In a nutshell, independent authors (that is, authors you don't know and who are not related to you in any way, family-, friendship- or business-wise) must have recognized you for your work and published about it.

Also, given your conflict of interest, it might be a good idea to refrain from editing such articles at all and put your information on the corresponding talk pages instead. Other editors will review your contributions and if they are valuable for the article, they will put it into the article for you. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 09:13, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

Block circumventions in August 2013
For the records, this blocked user (Saikat Nick Barua) continues to circumvent his block and SPAMs en:WP and Commons. While his block on the Mike willaims account is still active, he has used the following accounts to continue as before:

In all the months (actually years!) he is SPAMing us, this COI user has acted as a single-purpose account and unfortunately hasn't made a single useful contribution to the project so far. Instead, he continues to drop non-notable names (Saikat Nick Barua, S.Nick Barua, Nick Barua, Dipak Barua) into articles, as well as the names of companies related to him (DC group of Companies, DC Enterprises, T.K Group of Industries, T.K. Group, KANBE Pte Ltd). The user has been totally unresponsive to any good advices given to him by various users (see edit summaries as well as account and article talk pages) and seems to have a fundamental distorted idea of what Wikipedia is, or at least he does not care at all. Given the non-existant learning curve, it is at this time unlikely that we will ever see any good contributions from this editor. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 11:59, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
