August 2020 edit

  Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give G. K. Reddy the title "Gunapati Kesava Reddy" by using the DISPLAYTITLE magic word. This functionality is for changing the formatting and presentation of the title only, and does not work to change a page's title to something meaningfully different. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Thank you. Jackmcbarn (talk) 18:19, 23 August 2020 (UTC)Reply


G. K. Reddy edit

Wikipedia is not the place for content from medium.com. or the person himself. Please setop adding personal information.   This is your only warning; if you vandalize Wikipedia again, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. TamilMirchi (talk) 04:49, 18 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

Reddy, GK edit

You are projecting G. K. Reddy (producer) as to be well-known. If this is the case, kindly include reliable sources and do not include Medium.com.TamilMirchi (talk) 16:33, 25 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

Managing a conflict of interest edit

  Hello, Ragunath Shanmugam. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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 Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
  • 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 Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 16:50, 25 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

Issuing level 1 warning about removing AfD template from articles before the discussion is complete. (Peachy 2.0 (alpha 8)) edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates, as you did with G. K. Reddy (producer). Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. This is an automated message from a bot about this edit, where you removed the deletion template from an article before the deletion discussion was complete. If this message is in error, please report it.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 10:03, 26 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

Issuing level 2 warning about removing AfD template from articles before the discussion is complete. (Peachy 2.0 (alpha 8)) edit

  Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion pages, as you did with G. K. Reddy (producer). Doing so won't stop the discussion from taking place. You are, however, welcome to comment about the proposed deletion on the appropriate page. This is an automated message from a bot about this edit, where you removed the deletion template from an article before the deletion discussion was complete. If this message is in error, please report it.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 11:26, 1 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
