[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Braigo, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Synopsis (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Managing a conflict of interest
[edit]
Hello, Techie123. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Shubham Banerjee, 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.
The same issue could exist with Braigo where you have also been very active. Do you know, or are you related to, or represent Bannerjee or Braigo Labs. in any way? 220 of Borg 22:36, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

- I am not related to the subject, what has fascinated me is this young kid is trying to make a difference. all references i have got is from newspapers or new items
Copying?
[edit]Techie123,
If any of the large amount of text you have added to Shubham Banerjee is from the Braigo page you are supposed to put a template on the talkpages of each article to maintain attribution. see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Just FYI.

- Answer
- maybe I got this wrong while editing. I would love your help to clean it up.
Please note
[edit]I have altered your messages by 'shrinking' the headings and indenting your replies. It is not necessary, and usually not done, to make a new section heading for simple replies to talkpage messages. Just click on [edit] (which should appear near the section heading), and then add your post beneath the one you are replying to. It is however normal to sign your comments. (see 'Signing posts' below)
So, please go back and sign your posts, Though there is a 'bot' that does that, it may 'ignore' you as you now have a fair number of edits, over 300.--220 of Borg 23:59, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
Signing posts
[edit] Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:
- Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
- With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button (
or 
) located above the edit window.
This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
Thank you. --220 of Borg 23:59, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
Shubham Banerjee and Braigo
[edit]As of now I consider that both these pages, but especially the Shubham Banerjee biography (wp:BLP) page, are bloated far beyond what is necessary. It is still possible that the bio may be deleted due to notability, after all it appears the kid in notable for one thing, creating a braille printer using Lego! (see WP:ONEVENT) I admit I haven't looked into it yet, but courtesy of your good faith edits, his page is just huge compared to, demonstrably, far more notable people, like Olympic atheletes I know of.
This all stems from something that happened in January this year, and the kid is only twelve! Many people who think they are notable keep trying to use WP for promotion, and have their biographies deleted many times. See Asif Ali Laghari for example, which has been recreated (and deleted!) under just about every spelliing permutation possible! This is why I am suspicious and queried if you had a COI.
Anyway, I was considering re-directing Banerjee's BLP to the Braigo page, or vice versa, before you expanded it hugely. Braigo has, in my opinion, too much biography and too many "Shubham Banerjee" mentions (we dont use the full name at every mention, even on a BLP page!) But we don't want two pages that have essentially the same content, but one titled 'Shubham Banerjee' and the other 'Braigo'!
We could have one full sized 'Braigo' page with a biography section on Banerjee, and as I suggested redirect the BLP to the appropriates section. This also has the advantage that only one page, not two, has to be maintained. Like if Braigo V. 3.0 come out!--220 of Borg 01:13, 17 September 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you for your comment and suggestion, it helps - I am also learning the wikipedia lingo and the tricks as well. maybe redirection from Shubham Banerjee to Braigo makes the most sense, since Braigo has been around for sometime Techie123 (talk) 02:00, 17 September 2014 (UTC)
- I've actually pared Braigo down a lot, too much 'biographical' stuff IMHO, and just a bit (so far) at Banerjees BLP.
- WP trick #1 {{reply|username}} notifies 'username' you are replying to them. I didn't know you had posted here, but as it's your userpage you will be automatically notified of any edit here. Don't forget to indent any reply! --220 of Borg 06:07, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

Techie123, apart from anything else you really need to improve your style of referencing. You are leaving out important information like: date of source, date of access, authors, etc, etc. As the author of most of this page you (in my opinion) have a responsibility to reference your work 'correctly'. It is much harder for another person to come along later and add all this data to the sources.
The Braigo#News and tech blogs section is far too detailed, and accounts for about 57 (≈60%!) of the 93 sources on the page. I don't think we need a list of every website that mentions Braigo! (93 refs 
is a lot for a page of this length, see Wikipedia:Overcitation) Reduce that section by half and we still have about 65 sources.
The less sources that you need to 'fix (per above) the better, for you. Regards, 220 of Borg 20:47, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
