- Not only is the proposed text copied directly from this corporate web page and a WP:COPYVIO, it is also entirely promotional. Text referring to "our" this or that is utterly unsuitable for an encyclopaedia, as is WP:PEACOCKery about the wonders of the company's founder. AllyD (talk) 12:30, 5 October 2016 (UTC)
- AllyD, have made the requisite changes... request you to please take a look and guide me if any text is objectionable as per guidelines
- Sorry, the changes you have made are not sufficient. The text is still closely paraphrased from the original; merely changing a few words is not enough to avoid a copyright infringement. Take a look at the examples on the page I linked. Rewriting the text from a less promotional point of view will also help put it in your own words. Altamel (talk) 04:49, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

editHello! This is to inform fellow editors that I have made few minor edits to the article. And I have also added a picture to further enhance it. I have a conflict of interest in this article, few details of which I have furnished above. Please do let me know in case of any actions that I may have done in an incorrect way. I also intend to add more content to this article at a later period. Thank you. Rohan TK (talk) 10:40, 12 August 2018 (UTC)
- As per the advice at WP:COI ("COI editors should not edit affected articles directly, but propose changes on article talk pages instead"), please suggest any further changes on this page. This has served well in the past, for example with the advertising copy which was proposed above and rejected. AllyD (talk) 12:41, 12 August 2018 (UTC)
- Sure. Thank you. Rohan TK (talk) 13:16, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
