Tips 
 * Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
 * It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
 * If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
 * Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
 * When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
 * If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
 * Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers,  Ravensfire  (talk) 19:56, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

IIT Kanpur
I reverted the section you added to IIT Kanpur on SIKSA. There's a couple of problems with the edit. First, it's written in a very promotional manner. Wikipedia articles need to be written in a neutral manner in a professional tone.

The text you added is also really, really close to the press release for the center. That's where a lot of the promotional language comes from, but the real issues is what you've done is considered close paraphrasing and is a copyright issue. You need to summarize the material from the source in your own words. This is an encyclopedia, so it's a high-level summary, not heavy into details.

Honestly, it's a section that should probably be 2-3 sentences long. The name of the center, the people involved and that it does research into indian knowledge system. If there's a good secondary source that better explains what IKS means, use that instead of a domain-specific term - remember your average reader isn't familiar with jargon.

Hello, Neeraja Katkar. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the edit COI template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to 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 Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. 76.119.253.82 (talk) 04:32, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
