User talk:Sarjan20

Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Simplified Manual of Style
 * Task Center – need some ideas of what kind of things need doing? Go here.

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! S Philbrick (Talk)  13:22, 9 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much, S Philbrick. I just replied to another edit by you.
 * I am a new contributor to Wikipedia and would like to learn the process of editing and writing so that I can contribute to Wikipedia. I am a researcher from Goa, India and would love to contribute to Wikipedia, my own research work from the books authored by me. I have written some books on environment and research papers. I like to write in non-technical language for the general public. I will also source all my work.
 * I am extremely happy that I can count on you for guidance to work with Wikipedia.
 * Thank you very much.Sarjan20 (talk) 02:15, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

Recent edit reversion
In this edit here, I reverted some information that appears to be a violation of our copyright policy.

I provided a brief summary of the problem in the edit summary, which should be visible just below my name. You can also click on the "view history" tab in the article to see the recent history of the article. This should be an edit with my name, and a parenthetical comment explaining why your edit was reverted. If that information is not sufficient to explain the situation, please ask.

I do occasionally make mistakes. We get hundreds of reports of potential copyright violations every week, and sometimes there are false positives, for a variety of reasons. (Perhaps the material was moved from another Wikipedia article, or the material was properly licensed but the license information was not obvious, or the material is in the public domain but I didn't realize it was public domain, and there can be other situations generating a report to our Copy Patrol tool that turn out not to be actual copyright violations.) If you think my edit was mistaken, please politely let me know and I will investigate. S Philbrick (Talk)  13:36, 9 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Kind Greetings, S. Philbrick! Thank you for your help. I am new to Wikipedia as a contributor. I have been a user for a long time, and wanted to contribute now to Wikipedia. I am learning.
 * The content that was deleted 'shell craft' < Shellcraft  > was my own research work. The text was included in the book, authored by me and published by Springer. This text was a small part from the book and I had sourced the reference. If you consider this as copyright violation, I will be careful in the future. However, in my opinion, this wouldn't amount to copyright violation as I had used my own work before any editing was done by Springer on the text that I used in the article and I had sourced the chapter and the book. I would like to know if you still consider it copyright violation.
 * Thank you very much. Sarjan20 (talk) 01:58, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Sarjan20. 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 request edit 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. Wikipedia isn't a place to add links to your own books and research papers. MrOllie (talk) 13:45, 11 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much for this information.
 * I am not paid for this article. I am a researcher. I have written articles on UNESCO world heritage sites for a newspaper.
 * My intention for writing these articles is only to inform people about these sites. They are well researched articles. I am not paid by anyone to write these articles or to get them published. They are written with a sole aim to inform people.
 * However, should you still believe that it is not proper to cite it on Wikipedia, I shall take it off. Kindly let me know.
 * Thank you very much once again. Sarjan20 (talk) 14:05, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
 * COI as Wikipedia defines it is more broad than being paid. You should not add links to your own works - you should instead be making suggestions on talk pages. Please read the links in the above message throughly. MrOllie (talk) 14:36, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Alright. I will delete the link. Sarjan20 (talk) 05:14, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
