How does Individual Profile/Bios creation work?
I would like to create a bio/profile for the CEO of the company I work for, can someone help me with this? Mosh Bala (talk) 10:47, 1 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi Mosh Bala. That is a really, really bad idea. Since you work for the company, you have a clear conflict of interest with Wikipedia. You are also employed by the subject of the article, which means you would be violating Wikipedia's Terms of Use if you failed to make an appropriate paid disclosure. Since you're new here, you may also not be aware that we are actually quite restrictive in what we allow to be published; if your CEO doesn't clearly meet the inclusion criteria, any page you create about him/her is liable to be deleted (potentially without warning). The best advice I can offer, if you think that your CEO meets theose criteria, would be to list their name at Requested articles and move on to editing topics with which you do not have a conflict of interest. Otherwise - and I see this happen virtually every single day - you are likely to fall afoul of one of Wikipedia's many policies, and find yourself blocked from editing altogether.

Help me!
Please help me with... Thanks Yunshui for your prompt response. I am aware that I have a direct conflict of interest. But if the subject meets the inclusion criteria of Wikipedia, can I disclose paid contribution and submit a write-up? or is that also a violation? Please advise. Alternatively can I submit this as an article and submit it in the article for creation page?

 * You can; I'm just saying that it's probably not going to work out well. But, if you're determined, I'd suggest you use the Article Wizard, which (IIRC) automatically submits the finished page for review at AFC. You would still need to disclose your paid relationship, though; putting a template on your userpage (click the link there to see the various formats available) is the easiest way to do this (otherwise you have to remember to include a disclosure in every edit summary).

One last doubt!
Ok thanks Yunshui! One last doubt.

Is it possible for me to create a draft (on the subject) along with resources, upload it on some forum (not publish for public view on wikipedia), and put an open request for anyone who can consider it from a neutral point of view and edit it objectively and publish the same? Is that possible? Sorry and thank you so much for the assistance. Wikipedia is a maze for me and I dont want to violate any of the rules.

 * Off-wiki? You'd run into some problems with regards to licencing and copyright if you did that; it could get rather messy. I'd strongly recommend against it. Articles for Creation is a much better idea - the page will be in the draft namespace, so it won't be visible in searches or Wikipedia's mainspace, and it can be reviewed and/or edited by other users until it is ready for publication.

Suggestions from SuggestBot
Hi, I noticed you recently requested suggestions for articles to edit from SuggestBot. Apologies for the delay with those, the bot has been down for the past week. Now that it's up and running again, I noticed it cannot send you any suggestions because WikiProject Madras doesn't exist. Maybe it could work to feed SuggestBot some articles/categories related to Chennai? E.g. you could try copying and pasting this template code here:  You can also add/replace it with other categories if you'd like. Hope that helps, let me know if there's anything related to this I can help you out with! Regards, Nettrom (talk) 17:07, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
