Reversions by Karthik

@Dhanishk:, who seems to be the person who this article is about, keeps removing information from this page, especially their birthdate. I invite them to discuss the issue here. 331dot (talk) 11:42, 25 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@331dot: Someone has been changing information on this page for the past two weeks. The changes they are making are false, disrespectful, and sarcastic. We've been changing back to what the truth is hence the updates being continuously made to the page. We asked the person to stop and looks like they changed their username and are continuing this behavior. Thank you for giving the opportunity to discuss.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.127.194.96 (talk • contribs)

I'm wondering who "we" is; keep in mind that usernames(if you were using one) are only supposed to be used by one person. I'm not sure which side of this issue you are on, but the primary concern here is that this page seems to have been edited by Mr. Karthik. With only a very few exceptions, article subjects should not create or edit pages about themselves; such autobiographical edits are a conflict of interest and highly discouraged.(He should review those links.) If Mr. Karthik or his representative notices incorrect information on the page about him, he should post his concerns on this page first in almost all circumstances. Maybe you are aware of what the problematic information is? 331dot (talk) 22:46, 26 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I would add that, even though the page is about him, he does not "own" this page, as no one owns any page on Wikipedia. It's a page consisting of publicly available information about him, not a page controlled by him. 331dot (talk) 22:48, 26 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@331dot: Completely understand. This page was not edited by Dhanish himself but his representatives. Someone is purposely changing and making edits on a daily basis. Edits that are harmful and attacks Dhanish's character. There were more edits made than just the birthdate. Hence, we're having to do this back and forth to remove these. For example, one of the edits made by blackandkolar was about Dhanish being a dancer at parties because he lacks acting skills. I'll be sure to post all these edits being made by blackandkolar here for your reference going forward. I've even asked blackandkolar to stop on his talk page but he will not. I'm completely fine with someone posting publicly available information available about Dhanish on his wiki page but harmful, derogatory not to mention false information being posted is not right. I appreciate your help with this.

Here someone using his username states "stop editing my page" which suggests it was Mr. Karthik himself. Whether it is him or his representatives, they should take great care in editing the page, and generally not do so, at least without comment on this page. Reviewing conflict of interest would be a good idea.

All of that said, I can't look at the link given as it doesn't seem to work for me, but I have removed the passage as it seems to me to be unencyclopedic opinion and adding little to the article. 331dot (talk) 20:26, 30 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Birthdate

I invite @Blackandkolar: to present his sources for his repeated changes to the birthdate, which is currently cited. 331dot (talk) 02:40, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
