Hi! You wrote here that this thorny problem was resolved a year and a half ago. That's good news; could you point me to the resolution, because I'm not seeing it? As far as I can see, these pages still contain copyright violations and still need to be dealt with. I'd be delighted to find that I'm wrong.

Hi Oiyarbepsy,
I did understand that why you have pushed our old Wikipedia page. I have been working on it and just updated it with new related information and project pictures. So could you please help in understanding why our organisation page cant have all the information which we need?
Thanks Teerath Rawat
@ Teerath Rawat:, first of all, I am fully aware that your are the Senior Communications Officer at Ashoka Trust. So, you are essentially trying to use Wikipedia as free advertising. In addition to being against our conflict of interest policy and our terms of service, this also reflects very poorly on your organization. Reputable organizations do not promote themselves by posting promotional material on non-profit websites.
In addition, I've found that some of the material that you posted on Wikipedia is taken word-for-word directly from your website. That makes this material a copyright violation, which we absolutely can not accept here.
As an organization that does work on environmental education, a much better use of your organization's time on Wikipedia would be to make improvements to some of the many environment related articles we have here. One such article that immediately comes to mind is Environmental policy of India, which looks like it might be outdated and missing some key information.
One last question - Are you a professional photographer? You posted a lot of photographs and tagged them as your own work. I seriously doubt that you took these photographs yourself and I suspect that these are all copyrighted by the actual photographers.
Thank you, and have a good day, Oiyarbepsy ( talk) 06:45, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
@Oiyarbepsy Thank you for sharing detailed inputs. I Just want some more clarity on few below points:
1- Which point make you feel to use Wikipedia as free advertising? because when I updated the content it's just from the information point to view. (we are a think tank, Educational, NGO) 2- I have added centers because we are in now center mode. 3- Yes, you are right some of the material is directly from our website (atree.org) 4- I am not a photographer. I have tagged photographs as "own work", which means these photos are collected and clicked by organization staff, so I am uploading means its organisation pictures, it's our"own work". (means it's not downloaded from anywhere else)
Now, I request to you if you could tell me which part or information can't be added to the ATREE Wikipedia page then I will work accordingly.
Thank you
I saw this revert:
I reverted a sock puppet account who is blocked now. Others in good standing should be free to close the AfD. Wareon ( talk) 17:34, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
Hi Oiyarbepsy. Thank you for removing misplaced userbox from 49 48 pages (edits like
this). Unfortunately, this effort was a bit misguided, because the template was originally a navbox. It was recently
converted into a userbox for unknown reasons. Similar thing
happened to
Template:Barisan Nasional. Because of that
these 48 edits (all of which seem to do with such kind of disruption to the navboxes) need to be reverted. —

Oiyarbepsy, thanks for this edit, and I understand your feeling about it. I'm also okay with the discussion going on, and perhaps leading to a result different from the current one, and perhaps more to your liking. I purposely left that bit in, because several people distinguished between the "remove both" and only one of them, and it seemed that maybe I should split the difference since I was involved. I also appreciate your move, because I try to do the same thing that it seems to me you just did, that is, go with the procedures and guidelines as best you understand them, even if it doesn't match your desired outcome. Anyway, just wanted to acknowledge your edit, and to let you know that I feel we're both on the same side wrt to upholding the principles of the project, and how any particular discussion or content issue comes out is strictly second place. Much appreciated. Mathglot ( talk) 06:56, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
