Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), such as at WP:Teahouse, please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. 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.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Faculty of Management Studies – Institute of Rural Management, Jaipur (FMS-IRM), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Director ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.)
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot ( talk) 09:29, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
a/c to your workpage, you make a livig a business witer, WP could certainly user editors familiar with the business world, but be careful about COI: Even a general non financial coi kust be declared, andrdirect or indict financial COI must be declared in fulll accordingto WP:COI. And, of course you need to befamilar with the diffreret expections. in the two genres. In particular, in business writing, any reference usually does it/ But form Wikipedia ReferencesI are much more restricted, and must be references providing substantial coverage from third-party independent reliable sources, not press releases or mere announcements DGG ( talk ) 08:42, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
As far as references are concerned, I have worked in the past with reviewers to whet out the sources and through the experience have been able to grasp what is actually required here. That is why I usually don't put up a new page unless I am myself convinced of the sources. In this case, these are not Press Releases or announcements, they are news reports of the topic current at the time in newspapers that are noteworthy enough to be listed here on Wikipedia. Please also note that I have not used the lawyer's blog post as a source and have placed it under external links. Likewise, I have not used any content from his interview too, knowing that it violates the guideline of being independent, and have only used it for education related details mentioned in the intro before the interview. I am well aware of what Press Releases are, and have written quite a few myself, so am certain that the newspaper articles I have used are not promotional in any way but throw light on the situation and the lawyer in a neutral manner. Awaiting further guidance, thanks & regards, Tycheana ( talk) 09:20, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
For my full response about sources, see my talk page at
[1]
But, about the article:
I could easily find many more examples. There are many hundred thousand articles in WP accepted in earlier years when the standards were lower that we need to either upgrade or remove. There are even some getting accepted more recently, and I hope we will deal with them also. The least we can do is not add to them. And there is another factor: your article is a biography of a living person and our rules for these are particularly strict, see [WP:BLP]], whereas the examples you mentioned above are not-- there is therefore less urgency to fix them.
I am a volunteer and my purpose is not to devote my time to help you get the article in, but to enforce our rules. If it fits within our rules it will get in ; if not it won't. DGG ( talk ) 20:25, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

Request reason:
With all due respect I haven't even logged into the platform since the disappointment of my last draft's rejection and having deleted it myself. So where does the question of disruptive editing come? As far as paid editing goes, I have already clarified several times that my writing is a totally separate aspect from my role here and the 2 do not overlap in any way. I know of several paid editors who solely rely on Wikipedia for their earnings, but I have never been one of them, nor do I intend to join the bandwagon. It is because from what I gathered the paid editors claim to be admins here and get their pages through regardless of style or sources and earn big-time, whereas I am just an editor and nothing more. An example being this WIKI expert - https://www.freelancer.com/u/TaffyAU. So even if I wanted, no-one would actually pay me for something I cannot assure as compared to so many others who can. Getting a draft accepted here would be too big a gamble for an editor like me as there is no surety, so I prefer to stick to business/SEO/creative writing for my earnings. If you wish to haul me for my honesty, what can I say? In fact next I was planning to participate in one of the editing drives because it is something that I enjoyed doing in the past. At least for now, am past creating any new drafts owing to being too confused - maybe I need to spend more time doing what I like on this platform, which is editing. Best regards, Tycheana ( talk) 07:36, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

From what I gathered, am being accused of paid editing. So how else do I address the issue unless someone actually confronts me with the proof that they have?

Decline reason:
No one is harassing you. The vast majority of editors here are not paid and are here simply to improve this project for the benefit of humanity. It's not a violation of policy to be a paid editor as long as it is disclosed. If a user is not disclosing it, especially an administrator, we do want to know about it(privately, to avoid outing as noted). Keep in mind that at least some paid editors will use different names here than they use elsewhere. It sounds like you care little about whether you are unblocked or not, so I see no reason to keep this request open. If you change your mind, you are welcome to make a new request. 331dot ( talk) 08:04, 8 August 2020 (UTC)

If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
We can't post off-wiki information about you due to this policy on outing users. You would need to waive the right to privacy that policy gives you for us to say any more. 331dot ( talk) 00:46, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
You ask "who in their right mind would even want to trust a novice like me to get anything done on Wikipedia". But as I point out above, people's real experience and the experience they claim in their job ads can be very different. And their genuine experience can be significantly longer than the age of their current account. Also, paid editors can have extensive web writing experience outside of Wikipedia, and appear attractive to hire even without any stated length of actual Wikipedia experience. So, for example, an editor with a Wikipedia account like yours that's only a couple of years old might still be able to advertise, say, more than 10 years experience of web design, editing, writing, etc. I'm not saying any of this applies to you, I'm just pointing out that your "a novice like me" argument does not hold water.
Anyway, what now? When admin MER-C, above, said "I have seen off-wiki evidence that contradicts key aspects of this appeal", can you think of what that might be? Perhaps something with an innocent explanation? (Feel free to just reply here rather than make a new unblock request). Boing! said Zebedee ( talk) 09:57, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
