Also take care of the following points:

If I left you a message; please answer on your talk page, using {{ping|Username}}, {{reply to|Username}} or {{u|Username}} in your response, or add {{talkback|Username}} or {{whisperback|Username}} to my talk page.

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:

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. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Questions or ask me on my talk page. HickoryOughtShirt?4 HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 03:37, 6 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

@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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

@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)[reply]

@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)[reply]

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

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.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Vaibhav Palhade (October 30)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by M-Mustapha was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Vaibhav Palhade and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Vaibhav Palhade, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

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)[reply]

@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)[reply]

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.

A tag has been placed on Draft:Vaibhav Palhade, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. 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.

Your ability to edit this talk page has also been revoked.

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.
