User talk:Shantanu Tupe

Welcome!
Hello, Shantanu Tupe, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Indian Institute of Management Ranchi, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article.&#32;Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms our use and policy on paid editing.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! ~ ToBeFree (talk) 16:27, 30 June 2018 (UTC)

Indian Institute of Management Ranchi editing
Hi, we noticed that you, and several other new users, edited the Indian Institute of Management Ranchi article recently perhaps as part of a marketing course assignment at the institute. While we don't question any of your intentions, unfortunately collectively your editing fell afoul of several wikipedia guidelines including ones on avoiding conflict of interest, not using wikipedia for promotional purposes and not acting in concert with your real life friends/colleagues. For now, editing at the IIM Ranchi article has been closed to new accounts and I would recommend that you avoid editing it any further. Instead, I'd suggest that you familiarize yourself with the general policies linked in the welcome message above, and try your hand slowly improving articles where you do not have a similar conflict.

If you have any questions you can approach me on my talk page or, if they are regarding articles related to India, you can ask at the Wikiproject India Noticeboard. Abecedare (talk) 02:33, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
