Hello, I'm Greenman. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Previn Vedan, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Greenman (talk) 21:26, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I wanted to let you know that in your recent contributions to Previn Vedan, you seemed to act as if you were the owner of the page. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to Wikipedia. This means that editors do not own articles, including ones they create, and should respect the work of their fellow contributors. If you create or edit an article, remember that others are free to change its content. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Please respond to WP:COI before any further edits. Greenman (talk) 15:17, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

I spent alot of time researching the person in question and wrote the articles on various news reports that I read and that I referenced in the article.

I think that you incorrectly removed my writings. Jasonnd9 (talk) 15:24, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You may have spent time researching the contents, but your promotional edits have been reverted by a number of editors. You have been asked to address WP:COI multiple times but have not done so, and appear to be WP:NOTHERE to build an encyclopedia. The kind of statements you are adding are completely inappropriate.

I meant right and not write. I will reword the submissions. Jasonnd9 (talk) 17:14, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have stated on multiple occasions that I am not related, employed or have any relationship with Previn Vedan, other then him being the person that inspired me to study law. Jasonnd9 (talk) 17:16, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Can I revert my changes purely for the purposes of making edits?

Otherwise, I will have to recite everything. I just need it reverted for one hour? Jasonnd9 (talk) 17:36, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. If you continue to add promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at Previn Vedan, you may be blocked from editing. Theroadislong (talk) 21:44, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I made several adjustments to enhance clarity, coherence, and conciseness. I may have not included a detailed edit summary. I will revert the changes as I am sure that this note will provide clarity. The key changes:

1. Clarified the sequence of events and details in the early life and education section.

2. Emphasized the familial connection and influence of Previn Vedan's father, Jerald Danasekera Vedan, on his journey and commitment to justice.

3. Provided additional details about Vedan's mother, Moganambal Vedan, highlighting her long and dedicated career in healthcare and her role as a supportive force in Previn's life.

4. Described the close bond shared by Previn Vedan with his two brothers, Theesan Vedan and Eshlin Vedan, and how they have remained a united force despite pursuing diverse professional paths.

5. Streamlined and clarified information about Vedan's professional journey, including his work at law firms and the Legal Resources Centre.

6. Maintained the focus on Vedan's scouting involvement, highlighting the transformative role it played in his life, despite physical challenges.

7. Reworded the information so that it is not viewed as promotionl.

These changes aim to present the information in a more organized and engaging manner while maintaining the accuracy and integrity of the content. Jasonnd9 (talk) 18:15, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have no relation to the person in question. I was inspired by the person to get into law. Jasonnd9 (talk) 15:25, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There is no promotion in anyway. Please let me know if I should rephrasing anything by pointing same out to me precisely and not just removing my factual work. Jasonnd9 (talk) 15:26, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Most of the content you added was promotional and inappropriate, please also note that scout wiki and press releases are not reliable sources. Theroadislong (talk) 16:22, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I will reword same. However, the whole idea of wikipedia is to create a platform for information sharing and these are my submissions that should not be removed. If there is anything not accurate then anyone has the right to amend same, as per the wikipedia rules. Your constant removal of my work is silencing my write to freely share information. Jasonnd9 (talk) 17:00, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You have no "write to freely share information" any content you add to an article requires reliable independent sources and a neutral tone. Theroadislong (talk) 17:02, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I meant right and not write. I will reword the submissions Jasonnd9 (talk) 17:15, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think you are misunderstanding the purpose of Wikipedia. I suggest taking a step back, and familiarising yourself with pages such as Wikipedia:Expectations and norms of the Wikipedia community and MOS:PEACOCK. Greenman (talk) 21:35, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
