Thanks for uploading File:CenturyPly logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Aidem Ventures, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Director. 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.

Dear Mr RD, the article RingMeMaybe (mobile application) was deleted after it was discovered that a large sock farm of paid editing was uncovered. Much how many of the articles were deleted under WP:TNT in the WP:Orangemoody case. I did notice on the talk page that you had made some edits to the article and properly disclosed your COI. If you would like me to restore the contents so that you may continue to work on the article, I would be willing to do so. I would likely personally add though that the article in its current state did not seemingly meet WP:NCORP or WP:GNG -- however had it not been under these circumstances, AFD would have been chosen (as was done with some of the articles).

Hi Mr RD. I work on conflict of interest issues in Wikipedia, along with my regular editing. I am just now getting to your COIN case. Thanks for opening that. Sorry it took me a while to get to it.
I have reviewed what is going on at the Raheja Developers article and reviewed your claim there, and taken action on that.
I am here, however, about your editing. There is a very long history of undisclosed paid editing and SOCKING on the Raheja Developers article. You are travelling in bad company, I am sorry to say.
Here is one of the key things I want to bring to your attention. Wikipedia's Terms of Use require that editors disclose their "employer, client, and affiliation" with respect to any paid contribution they make. On your user page, you provide a list of articles that you have edited, or are editing for pay. This is great - really it is! However, you have not disclosed your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to each of them.
Please add that disclosure to your User Page. If you do not understand what "employer, client, and affiliation" means, please ask. I also suggest that you do no more paid editing, until you have complied with the Terms of Use.
I am watching this page, and will see when you have done that.
The other thing I want to bring to your attention, is that you have also directly edited the Raheja Developers article, in violation of the very strong warning in the WP:COI guideline, that you should not directly edit articles, when you are editing for pay. These are edits that you should not have made. We can talk more about how the community strongly prefers that paid editors work here, after you have completed the disclosure.
Thanks again for opening the COIN case. Best regards, Jytdog ( talk) 09:48, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

In general the COI management process in WP has two steps. Disclosure, which I think we now have nailed down pretty well (with the addition of the template thing I just mentioned). The second step is peer review. This piece may seem a bit strange to you at first, but if you think about it, it will make sense. In Wikipedia, editors can immediately publish their work, with no intervening publisher or standard peer review -- you can just create an article, click save, and viola there is a new article, and you can go into any article, make changes, click save, and done. No intermediary - no publisher, no editors.
What we ask editors to do who have a COI and want to work on articles where their COI is relevant, is a) if you want to create an article relevant to a conflict of interest you have, create the article as a draft, disclose your COI on the Talk page using the appropriate template, and then submit the draft article through the WP:AFC process so it can be reviewed before it publishes; and b) And if you want to change content in any existing article on a topic where you have a COI, we ask you to propose content on the Talk page for others to review and implement before it goes live, instead of doing it directly yourself. You can make the edit request easily - and provide notice to the community of your request - by using the "edit request" function as described in the conflict of interest guideline.
By following those "peer review" processes, editors with a COI can contribute where they have a COI, and the integrity of WP can be protected. I hope that makes sense to you.
I want to add here that per the WP:COI guideline, if you want to directly update simple, uncontroversial facts (for example, correcting the facts about where the company has offices) you can do that directly in the article, without making an edit request on the Talk page. Just be sure to always cite a reliable source for the information you change, and make sure it is simple, factual, uncontroversial content.
Will you please agree to follow those two processes going forward?
I also urge you to refrain from working in the AfC process as a volunteer, moving articles from draft to main, until you get more experience here. In
this dif you did that, and the article is really bad, and not ready for main space.
DGG, one of our most experienced editors, promptly nominated it for deletion, and
noted: "Essentially every reference here is a press release, and the article seems to be written as if it were advertising for the event. It is possible that the 2 articles in the Times of India show some borderline notability , but Lack of notability is not the only reason for deletion. Borderline notability combined with clear promotionalism is an equally good reason"
. Until you can see those sorts of problems, you would do everyone (including yourself) a favor if you refrained from working in the AfC process as a volunteer. Would you please agree to refrain from doing that at least for a while? Thanks.
I just want to underline that I am grateful that you are disclosing and trying to work as a good citizen. I am trying to help you, and to help the community at large. I do hope you can see that. Once you get all this stuff under your belt, and really understand the heart of the policies and guidelines, you should have pretty smooth sailing here. People can edit for pay, and be good members of the community. I really believe that. It is not easy, but it is possible. Jytdog ( talk) 20:14, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
The article Freddie Figgers has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
COI (paid) editor. primary sources. crap article.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

Thanks for uploading File:Harshit Saumitra in Sherwani.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.
If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{ non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

About this -- As we've discussed, when you edit for pay, please do not edit directly, but rather submit new articles through the WP:AFC process (with a disclosure on the Talk page of the new article, so reviewers are aware), and when you want to edit an existing article for pay, please offer a proposal on the relevant article's article's Talk page, with a disclosure that you have a COI.

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant!

Hi Mr RD,
In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.
Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.
Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 04:29, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
Hi Mr RD,
As an AfC reviewer you're probably aware that a new user right has been created for patrolling new pages (you might even have been granted the right already, and admins have it automatically).
Since July there has been a very serious backlog at Special:NewPagesFeed of over 14,000 pages, by far the worst since 2011, and we need an all out drive to get this back down to just a few hundred that can be easily maintained in the future. Unlike AfC, these pages are already in mainspace, and the thought of what might be there is quite scary. There are also many good faith article creators who need a simple, gentle push to the Tea House or their pages converted to Draft rather than being deleted.
Although New Page Reviewing can occasionally be somewhat more challenging than AfC, the criteria for obtaining the right are roughly the same. The Page Curation tool is even easier to use than the Helper Script, so it's likely that most AfC reviewers already have more than enough knowledge for the task of New Page Review.
It is hoped that AfC reviewers will apply for this right at WP:PERM and lend a hand. You'll need to have read the page at WP:NPR and the new tutorial.

Hello Mr RD.
Based on the patrols you made of new pages during a qualifying period in 2016, your account has been added to the "New page reviewers
" user group, allowing you to review new pages and mark them as
patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or in some cases, tag them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the
New Pages Feed.
New page reviewing is a vital function for policing the quality of the encylopedia, if you have not already done so, you must read the new tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the various deletion criteria. If you need more help or wish to discuss the process, please join or start a thread at page reviewer talk.
The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In case of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, the right can be revoked at any time by an administrator. MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 01:34, 19 November 2016 (UTC)

Hello!
Do you have any relation with G2003? I am afraid that, if you are the same person that used that first account, telling that to community is probably a fair thing to do as creating an account after having another blocked is not exactly a clean start.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Aidem Ventures, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Director. 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.

Dear Mr RD, the article RingMeMaybe (mobile application) was deleted after it was discovered that a large sock farm of paid editing was uncovered. Much how many of the articles were deleted under WP:TNT in the WP:Orangemoody case. I did notice on the talk page that you had made some edits to the article and properly disclosed your COI. If you would like me to restore the contents so that you may continue to work on the article, I would be willing to do so. I would likely personally add though that the article in its current state did not seemingly meet WP:NCORP or WP:GNG -- however had it not been under these circumstances, AFD would have been chosen (as was done with some of the articles).

Hi Mr RD. I work on conflict of interest issues in Wikipedia, along with my regular editing. I am just now getting to your COIN case. Thanks for opening that. Sorry it took me a while to get to it.
I have reviewed what is going on at the Raheja Developers article and reviewed your claim there, and taken action on that.
I am here, however, about your editing. There is a very long history of undisclosed paid editing and SOCKING on the Raheja Developers article. You are travelling in bad company, I am sorry to say.
Here is one of the key things I want to bring to your attention. Wikipedia's Terms of Use require that editors disclose their "employer, client, and affiliation" with respect to any paid contribution they make. On your user page, you provide a list of articles that you have edited, or are editing for pay. This is great - really it is! However, you have not disclosed your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to each of them.
Please add that disclosure to your User Page. If you do not understand what "employer, client, and affiliation" means, please ask. I also suggest that you do no more paid editing, until you have complied with the Terms of Use.
I am watching this page, and will see when you have done that.
The other thing I want to bring to your attention, is that you have also directly edited the Raheja Developers article, in violation of the very strong warning in the WP:COI guideline, that you should not directly edit articles, when you are editing for pay. These are edits that you should not have made. We can talk more about how the community strongly prefers that paid editors work here, after you have completed the disclosure.
Thanks again for opening the COIN case. Best regards, Jytdog ( talk) 09:48, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

In general the COI management process in WP has two steps. Disclosure, which I think we now have nailed down pretty well (with the addition of the template thing I just mentioned). The second step is peer review. This piece may seem a bit strange to you at first, but if you think about it, it will make sense. In Wikipedia, editors can immediately publish their work, with no intervening publisher or standard peer review -- you can just create an article, click save, and viola there is a new article, and you can go into any article, make changes, click save, and done. No intermediary - no publisher, no editors.
What we ask editors to do who have a COI and want to work on articles where their COI is relevant, is a) if you want to create an article relevant to a conflict of interest you have, create the article as a draft, disclose your COI on the Talk page using the appropriate template, and then submit the draft article through the WP:AFC process so it can be reviewed before it publishes; and b) And if you want to change content in any existing article on a topic where you have a COI, we ask you to propose content on the Talk page for others to review and implement before it goes live, instead of doing it directly yourself. You can make the edit request easily - and provide notice to the community of your request - by using the "edit request" function as described in the conflict of interest guideline.
By following those "peer review" processes, editors with a COI can contribute where they have a COI, and the integrity of WP can be protected. I hope that makes sense to you.
I want to add here that per the WP:COI guideline, if you want to directly update simple, uncontroversial facts (for example, correcting the facts about where the company has offices) you can do that directly in the article, without making an edit request on the Talk page. Just be sure to always cite a reliable source for the information you change, and make sure it is simple, factual, uncontroversial content.
Will you please agree to follow those two processes going forward?
I also urge you to refrain from working in the AfC process as a volunteer, moving articles from draft to main, until you get more experience here. In
this dif you did that, and the article is really bad, and not ready for main space.
DGG, one of our most experienced editors, promptly nominated it for deletion, and
noted: "Essentially every reference here is a press release, and the article seems to be written as if it were advertising for the event. It is possible that the 2 articles in the Times of India show some borderline notability , but Lack of notability is not the only reason for deletion. Borderline notability combined with clear promotionalism is an equally good reason"
. Until you can see those sorts of problems, you would do everyone (including yourself) a favor if you refrained from working in the AfC process as a volunteer. Would you please agree to refrain from doing that at least for a while? Thanks.
I just want to underline that I am grateful that you are disclosing and trying to work as a good citizen. I am trying to help you, and to help the community at large. I do hope you can see that. Once you get all this stuff under your belt, and really understand the heart of the policies and guidelines, you should have pretty smooth sailing here. People can edit for pay, and be good members of the community. I really believe that. It is not easy, but it is possible. Jytdog ( talk) 20:14, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
The article Freddie Figgers has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
COI (paid) editor. primary sources. crap article.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa? Lo dicono a Signa. 11:16, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Internshala, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. DGG ( talk ) 07:44, 22 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi Mr RD,
In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.
Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.
Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 04:29, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
Hi Mr RD,
As an AfC reviewer you're probably aware that a new user right has been created for patrolling new pages (you might even have been granted the right already, and admins have it automatically).
Since July there has been a very serious backlog at Special:NewPagesFeed of over 14,000 pages, by far the worst since 2011, and we need an all out drive to get this back down to just a few hundred that can be easily maintained in the future. Unlike AfC, these pages are already in mainspace, and the thought of what might be there is quite scary. There are also many good faith article creators who need a simple, gentle push to the Tea House or their pages converted to Draft rather than being deleted.
Although New Page Reviewing can occasionally be somewhat more challenging than AfC, the criteria for obtaining the right are roughly the same. The Page Curation tool is even easier to use than the Helper Script, so it's likely that most AfC reviewers already have more than enough knowledge for the task of New Page Review.
It is hoped that AfC reviewers will apply for this right at WP:PERM and lend a hand. You'll need to have read the page at WP:NPR and the new tutorial.

Hello Mr RD.
Based on the patrols you made of new pages during a qualifying period in 2016, your account has been added to the "New page reviewers
" user group, allowing you to review new pages and mark them as
patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or in some cases, tag them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the
New Pages Feed.
New page reviewing is a vital function for policing the quality of the encylopedia, if you have not already done so, you must read the new tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the various deletion criteria. If you need more help or wish to discuss the process, please join or start a thread at page reviewer talk.
The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In case of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, the right can be revoked at any time by an administrator. MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 01:34, 19 November 2016 (UTC)
