User talk:Sarma.vrudhula

Hello, Sarma.vrudhula. 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. Thank you. Melcous (talk) 08:38, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Sarma.vrudhula! Your additions to Field-programmable analog array have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.


 * You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
 * Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. DanCherek (talk) 19:15, 8 July 2022 (UTC)


 * The description of FPAAs left out a work that preceded the work of others that were cited. I understand the COI issue as the work I was referring to is work I co-authored. But this is factual information.  I cited a published work just as thers have also cited papers.  I don't see how mine was any different. It is in the public domain.
 * And what I stated is a FACT. All I did was mention a paper on the topic of FPAAs published in 2002, which I happen to co-author.
 * I would like you to take a look at what I wrote, check the publication and see if there is any COI. I don't think so. It is a factual statement! Sarma.vrudhula (talk) 20:00, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
 * see if there is any COI. I don't think so. Citing your own co-authored work is a very clear example of conflict of interest, so the COI guidelines do apply in this case. This source is not in the public domain; there is a notice indicating that the ACM is the copyright holder. Text was copied verbatim from that paper – that is not allowed.

 * I stand corrected and understand. Won't happen again. Thanks Sarma.vrudhula (talk) 00:08, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
 * BTW if the work is on arXiv, would that be in the public domain? Sarma.vrudhula (talk) 00:09, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
