Hello, Amitc.iitg. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. JamesBWatson (talk) 13:09, 30 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Reflux, IIT Guwahati requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati. While objective prose about beliefs, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Ruby Murray 17:02, 30 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add soapboxing, promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati, you may be blocked from editing. Ruby Murray 17:02, 30 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is your last warning. The next time you use Wikipedia for soapboxing, promotion or advertising, as you did at Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Ruby Murray 17:12, 30 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. The thread is Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:Amitc.iitg reported by User:Ruby Murray (Result: ). Thank you. Ruby Murray 17:08, 30 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for three days, for persistently posting promotional content to Wikipedia, despite messages making it clear that doing so is unacceptable, and for edit warring to keep the promotional content in place. Wikipedia works by collaboration, not by individual editors persistently repeating their preferred version, in the hope that others will give up, so that the most stubborn editor gets his or her way. If you believe there are good reasons for disagreeing with other editors' edits, then you should explain your reasons, and be willing to discuss the issues, with a view to trying to reach agreement, not just keep undoing those editors' edits. However, in the case of trying to post promotional content, you should not be doing that at all: Wikipedia policy is that Wikipedia is not a medium for advertising or promotion. Conforming to policy is not optional. Also, it is evident that you work for the institution that you have been writing about, and Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines strongly discourage you from editing that article at all. A Wikipedia article about a college is not a college prospectus, nor is it a place for the college to present to the world its preferred view of itself: that is what the college's own web site is for, while a Wikipedia article should present a neutral, third part, point of view. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.
