Hello, I'm Aggarwala2727. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Pranjal Bhatt have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse. Thanks. clickHereToGoToMyUserPage (talk) 07:11, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Your recent edits to Wikipedia:Teahouse could give Wikipedia contributors the impression that you may consider legal or other "off-wiki" action against them, or against Wikipedia itself. Please note that making such threats on Wikipedia is strictly prohibited under Wikipedia's policies on legal threats and civility. Users who make such threats may be blocked. If you have a dispute with the content of any page on Wikipedia, please follow the proper channels for dispute resolution. Please be sure to comment on content, not contributors, and where possible make specific suggestions for changes supported by reliable independent sources and focusing especially on verifiable errors of fact. Thank you. bonadea contributions talk 07:38, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Adding to the above: editors who make legal threats will be blocked from editing, which is why you need to retract that statement immediately. --bonadea contributions talk 07:39, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. --bonadea contributions talk 07:59, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
As you might be wondering just what went wrong in going from registration to being blocked in two days, the following may be of interest to you, as I think you may have some mis-conceptions about
what Wikipedia is and is not, and how it works.
Wikipedia is not just another news, forum, blog/webhost, promotional/advertising/directory, or social networking site. It is a place for serious, collaborative, scholarly assembly of knowledge about notable subjects into a high-quality encyclopedia, with verifiable references to independent, reliable sources. Many people come here with other expectations and have a difficult time as a result.
Think of it as Encyclopædia Britannica, but with an all-volunteer group of devoted independent editors, who write articles about notable subjects that interest them, carefully citing reliable sources for verification.
Just like with other encyclopedias, the subject of an article has no "ownership" or control over the article. In fact, the subject and anyone acting on their behalf (see WP:COI and WP:PAID) are asked not to edit the article directly at all; they are requested to leave edit requests on the article talk page (Talk:Pranjal Bhatt in the present case), where independent volunteer editors will evaluate them and either make the change or explain why it cannot be done.
Naturally, we take accuracy seriously, so if we get something wrong, please do tell us about it, provide reliable sources that demonstrate it, and we'll be sure to fix it. However, if you are just trying to make an article appear more favorable to the subject by removing negative items that are properly balanced and cited, you'll have a tough time. This is why having a Wikipedia article about you is not necessarily a good thing.
As mentioned by others, making a legal threat (such as you did at the Teahouse at 2020-04-10T08:29:48Z) terminates any discussion. If you would like to withdraw that threat and address whatever you thought was wrong with the article according to policy, please see the information above about how to request an unblock.
Here are some of our core principles and methodologies:
Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by adding a space and four tildes to the end of the last line of your post, like this:
This is the last line of the post. ~~~~
The tildes will be automatically converted to a signature that contains your linked username and a timestamp to help keep conversations organized.
I hope this clarifies things a bit.
