User talk:ViramJasani

Welcome!

Hello, ViramJasani, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Viram Jasani, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• Best practices for editors with close associations

• Contributing to Wikipedia
• Tutorial
• How to edit a page and How to develop articles
• How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
• Simplified Manual of Style
• The Teahouse, our help forum for new editors

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, visit the Teahouse, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question.

My original entry on Wikipedia made some 30 years ago was substantially modified and reduced resulting in a very diluted account of who I am. I did ask Wikipedia who could have changed this - I know why - but never got an answer from them. So finally I decided to amend the very short and inaccurate biog of me

I have not said anything controversial or that us not already in the public domain

I have not made any comments on third parties or institutions and only stated facts about myself and now it is on Wikipedia in correct format.

please explain where and why what I have written is controversial or wrong. It is mostly factual which can’t be disputed.

best regards

Hello, I'm 81.187.192.168. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. 81.187.192.168 (talk) 11:29, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

I cannot see that what i have written is promotional. I retired in 2018 from music production and during COVID wrote my autobiography. I do not perform or teach or lecture - so do not so anything that needs promoting. I am now 79 years old !

what I have done is written factual information which is already in the public domain. I agree that i could have written this as a “list” but instead wrote as a narrative. I was concerned that when WIKIPEDIA started and i was asked if i minded having information about myself there. I was very pleased to do so. later i made small financial contributions to WIKIPEDIA - i cannot do much as I am retired and a pensioner. Since that time information about me has been slowly reduced to what you are now showing. This does not in any way reflect who i am or my achievements.

That is what i decided to write the text myself. I am happy for you two tell me where you think i have been “promotional” and look at amending the text. I look forward to hearing from. I do ask you to read what you have today got about me and compare with what i had written.

thank you

b/regards
