Hello, and thank you for your recent contributions. I appreciate the effort you made for our project, but unfortunately I had to undo your edit(s) because I believe the article was better before you made that change.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Aditya Chopra has been reverted. Your edit here to Aditya Chopra was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links in references which are discouraged per our reliable sources guideline. The reference(s) you added or changed (http://www.bollywoodlife.com/news-gossip/gunday-to-release-in-bengali-view-poster/?itemCat=210&catName=MjAwNA==) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 08:02, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

Better source request for File:Aditya Chopra, Sidharth Roy Kapur &
Thanks for your upload to Wikipedia: You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.
 * File:Aditya Chopra, Sidharth Roy Kapur &

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page or me at my talk page. Thank you. Message delivered by Theo's Little Bot (opt-out) 03:18, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! Materialscientist (talk) 03:48, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Aditya Chopra. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. BRPever (talk) 12:52, 16 January 2016 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for August 3
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Aditya Chopra, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Mann. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Aditya Chopra, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. SovalValtos (talk) 09:13, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Vikram Gad. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Aditya Chopra‎, 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 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 WP: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. ''If you are being paid to maintain the page, or as part of your duties at work, you need to read WP:PAID and make the required disclosures. All of your edits are to this page, it is stretching the boundaries of credibility if you don't have a COI or paid editor.''  Ravensfire  (talk) 16:14, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

Paid editing
Please read and comply with WP:PAID. It's pretty obvious that you are being paid to edit Aditya Chopra and have not made the required declarations. If you continue to edit, you will be reported to administrators for further review and action. Editing without making the required disclosures is against the Wikipedia Terms of Use that you agree to every time you save an edit.  Ravensfire  (talk) 19:46, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for July 16
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Aditya Chopra, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Kabir Khan. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

As previously advised, your edits, such as the edit you made to Aditya Chopra, give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at User:Vikram Gad, and the template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia.  Ravensfire  (talk) 22:47, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

Discussion on Notes column of Aditya Chopra filmography
Why is the acting/directorial debut been cut to a simple debut? It won't be clear whether they made an acting debut or a directorial. Some may have done both, or in case even one because it's all debut and unclear. Please help me understand, if not I may have to revert it. Aadirulez8 (talk) 05:41, 19 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi Aadirulez8, thank you for your reply.
 * The reason why I cut all debut's to just a "plain debut" is so that users are encouraged to click on the name of the talent involved and keep exploring Wikipedia through those pages.
 * Example: R. Madhavan's debut in the 2022 film Rocketry would make people go into Madhavan's wikipedia page or Rocketry's wikipedia page and continue browsing because he is an established talent in Tamil and Hindi.
 * Hope that is ok. Thank you, once again. Vikram Gad (talk) 23:57, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
