Speedy deletion nomination of Sumit pawar
Hello Sneha.kupekar,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Sumit pawar for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. AlanS (talk) 13:31, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Pluralism in economics. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. GermanJoe (talk) 02:57, 26 November 2018 (UTC)


 * It's pretty obvious, that you are trying to add as many book and article citations for Komlos as possible in several articles, often without relevant context or actual usage as a valid reference for anything specific. Please note that any promotional activity is prohibited on Wikipedia (see WP:PROMO and WP:CITESPAM), including adding such indiscriminate citations for a preferred author. GermanJoe (talk) 03:02, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Market fundamentalism. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. GermanJoe (talk) 03:34, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you use Wikipedia for soapboxing, promotion or advertising. GermanJoe (talk) 14:13, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

WP:CITESPAM for Komlos' research
Hello Sneha.kupekar, to clarify the problem with the recent promotional additions a bit more: several of the "sources" were added out of context and did not function as a reference for the specific text to begin with. Others added only passing mentions or trivial information with little topic-related substance. Also, bibliographical and "Further reading" sections are supposed to provide a limited selection of the most-significant publications with relevant topic-specific information, not an indiscriminate assortment of secondary and loosely-related literature.

To be clear, of course Komlos work could be used in appropriate substantial context (for example in anthropometric history or similar topics in his specific area of research). But the indiscriminate spamming of his publications all over economy-related articles to popularize Komlos' views and publications is entirely inappropriate and violates Wikipedia's anti-promotion guidelines, specifically WP:CITESPAM - please stop adding such indiscriminate citations of Komlos' work. Lastly, if you disagree with a specific revert, it is recommended to discuss the issue at the article's associated talkpage (see WP:BRD for more information). Please use this approach, or feel free to ask me about a specific case on my user talkpage, instead of re-adding disputed content. GermanJoe (talk) 14:49, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

Antebellum Puzzle - references are not "duplicates"
Hello Sneha.kupekar, I appreciate that you are trying to improve references, but these 3 references actually point to three different pages of the source which is a necessary source detail to verify the exact location of all three distinct details on separate source pages. There are ways to format such citations for different pages in one source a bit more space-efficient (for example with shortened footnotes in Harvard citations - see Template:sfn for one possible approach), but simply removing complete references is not the way to do it. If you have further questions about referencing, please feel free to ask or post for advice at WP:Teahouse. Best regards. GermanJoe (talk) 17:00, 21 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Also, I will report any further promotional or questionable additions of Komlos' publications to the administrator noticeboard. You are clearly editing to promote Komlos' views and publications in violation of Wikipedia's editing guidelines. Please suggest further similar additions of book links on the articles' respective talkpages instead of adding them yourself. GermanJoe (talk) 17:43, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
