I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, consult Wikipedia:Questions, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there.

I had warned Bilal about the WP:MEAT policy; you should read it too and consider what you are doing in WP in light of it. Jytdog (talk) 02:30, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
Conflict of interest in Wikipedia edit
Hi Rob; based on your username and your edits to date, you clearly work with Bilal Ayyub. I'm giving you notice of our Conflict of Interest guideline and Terms of Use, and will have some comments and requests for you below.
Hello, Robmishra. 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 COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, please:
- avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your circle, your organization, its competitors, projects or products;
- instead propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
- when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
- avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
- exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.
In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).
Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you.
Comments and requests edit
Wikipedia is a widely-used reference work and managing conflict of interest is essential for ensuring the integrity of Wikipedia and retaining the public's trust in it. As in academia, COI is managed here in two steps - disclosure and a form of peer review. Please note that there is no bar to being part of the Wikipedia community if you want to be involved in articles where you have a conflict of interest; there are just some things we ask you to do (and if you are paid, some things you need to do).
Disclosure is the most important, and first, step. Would you please a) confirm that you work for Bilal Ayyub; b) clarify whether or not you are here at his instruction? Best regards Jytdog (talk) 02:30, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

- Hi , Regarding the post on Bilal Ayyub's Wikipedia page, I would like to clarify that I am not him and am editing the page independently. Thanks, — Preceding unsigned comment added by Robmishra (talk • contribs) 20:54, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
