December 2023 edit

 

Hello Vibraneum31. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Vedanth Nath, gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Vibraneum31. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Vibraneum31|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. First you created LooCafe and then created one for its Head of Innovation Vedanth Nath. Please disclose if you have any personal or professional connection with these subjects. Thilsebatti (talk) 04:04, 18 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hello @Thilsebatti! Thanks so much for writing this long message, you have rightly stated I haven't been compensated for these edits. There is no paid affiliation to these articles, there never will be to any of my work, as that's exploit + there never will be the need for me to personally do something like that ethically.
However, in professional capacity I have met with Vedanth Nath, I am an employee at Invest India — and I was impressed with their work. I found references suitable for a stub, and created a wiki — which I'm passionate about since the last 8 years. In my eventful career so far, in which I take great pride in. I've met with a lot of industrialists of importance, head of states and government officials. Never have I made an edit for them, but this person, was from my local state, in local newspapers, and also interesting. Referencing pages like Anvitha Kollipara's a person who seems to be in the same team as him, this page was created.
Alas, I completely understand if this page is not worth a Wikipedia space, and agree if deletion is the best solution, rest assured — this page was created without paid affiliations or any personal agenda. Best. Vibraneum31 (talk) 03:23, 19 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
