Welcome!

Hello, Pratyush.shrivastava, and welcome to Wikipedia! I have noticed that you are fairly new! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. I also see that some of your recent edits, such as the ones to the page Darshan Raval, show an interest in the use of images and/or photos on Wikipedia.

Did you know that ...

• ...Wikipedia has a very stringent image use policy?
• ...most images from Flickr, online news websites, and other web sources are copyrighted?
• ...Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously?
• ...freely-licensed images should be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, a central location for images where they can be used on all Wikipedia projects?
• ...we recommend that new users use our "files for upload" process - at least until you get the hang of things?

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{Help me}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• Tutorial
• Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date.

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Pratyush.shrivastava. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Youth Against Injustice Foundation, 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. GermanJoe (talk) 12:35, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

• GermanJoe (talk · contribs) I do not have any kind of relation with Youth Against Injustice Foundation

All I got to know was from other sources, newspapers, and their website. However, I understand conflict of interest guideline, I also understand that the content without other sources can be removed or challenged easily. If you think, I'm editing page wrongly, from now on wards, I will firstly discuss on talk page with other editors so that they can review the requested change. If you still feel something to talk about, you can continue this discussion here. Thank you. Pratyush.shrivastava (talk) 4:28, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

Image on article Rajiv Tyagi

You can't upload an image you find on someone's twitter or from a news website to commons. Please read eligible licenses and COM:NETCOPYVIO. Images need to be on a website which explicitly mentions an eligible license. - hako9 (talk) 18:40, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

• Hako9 (talk · contribs) I understand the image was not licensed properly, thank you for removing it from page and applying for quick deletion.

Nomination of Youth Against Rape for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Youth Against Rape is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Youth Against Rape until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Roller26 (talk) 16:33, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

Youth Against Rape

Hiya since the page is proposed for deletion, I made some quite drastic edits, for example removing the sections with no references. I think it is just about notable enough for its own wikipedia page. Cheers, Mujinga (talk) 21:03, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

That's kind of you to thank me for my edits, but you don't need to do it for every edit! :) Mujinga (talk) 17:41, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

@Mujinga I thank everyone (for each edit) who do something in a constructive way on pages in which I keep a watch. I'm really sorry if it disturbed you. -- Pratyush.shrivastava (talk) 17:48, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

I have received your email. I am not willing to refund or otherwise provide a copy of the article given the evidence of socking. Should that be cleared up in some way please feel free to reach out again and I will reconsider. Barkeep49 (talk) 14:14, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

You shouldn't edit archived SPI cases. The archive is supposed to be a record of what was said during the case before it was closed. There isn't really anywhere on Wikipedia that you can put rebuttals or explanatory notes. Also, what you're saying is basically the same thing as WP:BROTHER. Admins almost never believe that excuse. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 12:51, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

@NinjaRobotPirate: I am not blaming someone, I'm just accepting mistake (And humorously saying, he's my big brother, I really don't want you to believe). -- Pratyush.shrivastava (talk) 12:59, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

@Barkeep49:, I have given reason on the sockpuppet investigation, also it is same as WP:BROTHER. As mentioned in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Youth Against Rape, article might establish notability in little future (Or it might do now but lack sources). I think editors probably didn't checked Hindi and other language sources. Thus I'm again requesting you to provide me user space draft if possible. Thank you -- Pratyush.shrivastava (talk) 09:10, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

Pratyush.shrivastava, given these facts I still decline to refund the article. Barkeep49 (talk) 12:59, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

Controversial topic area alert

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

November 2020

Hello Pratyush.shrivastava. The nature of your edits 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 very 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 extremely 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:Pratyush.shrivastava. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Pratyush.shrivastava|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. Praxidicae (talk) 19:48, 27 November 2020 (UTC)

@Praxidicae: Hello, I have never promoted a topic on Wikipedia nor I have worked in in response to any payment till date, however you might have UP impression because of my way of working in WP. I select a topic of my interest and try to make it better and better specifically. There have also been a few non-notable topics selected by me but this doesn't mean I'm violating any policy. However, rest assured, whenever I will work for Paid contribution I would indubitably disclose it. Thank you for your concern on WP policies. -- Pratyush.shrivastava (talk) 03:37, 28 November 2020 (UTC)

Chirag Pardesi moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Chirag Pardesi, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Vaibhav Palhade

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Repeatedly creating articles about topics that aren't remotely notable

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you use Wikipedia for promotion or advertising. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 13:31, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

UTRS decline

I am declining your unblock request because it does not address the reason for your block, or because it is inadequate for other reasons. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that either the block is not necessary to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia, or that the block is no longer necessary because you understand what you have been blocked for, will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and will make useful contributions instead. Please read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Guide_to_appealing_blocks for more information. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 10:21, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

And your editing was discussed at length at ANI. You have not addressed the concerns raised at ANI, or on your talk page. Instead you have attacked a bunch of people who have worked hard and long to build the world's largest free content encyclopedia. Those assertions are pretty lame.
