Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. A page you recently created, Ashok Chakravarti, Economist, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new pages, so it has been moved to where you can continue to work on it. Please consider using the Article Wizard or the Articles for Creation procedure. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read "Your first article". You may also want to read our introduction page to learn more about contributing. Thank you. Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 17:48, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

Dear Codename Noreste, Thank you for your comments and advice. I quite understand your concern about conflict of interest since I uploaded a profile about myself. Please advise how I can receive a copy of my article back into my user page so that I can further edit it to be as neutral as possible. After these revision I would like to submit it to you for proof reading and revision.

Wiki already has an article on MTHULI NCUBE. He is and economist and my Minister of Finance in the Government of Zimbabwe. Since I am his Senior Advisor, he had suggested to me that I should also try to get my profile on to Wiki. Hence my efforts. However, I wait for your guidance as to how to proceed further on this matter.

Thank you. Ashok Chakravarti, Economist (talk) 14:30, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

Welcome!

Hello, Ashok Chakravarti, Economist, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Draft:Ashok Chakravarti, 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.
