August 2020

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:Yadvendradev Vikramsinh Jhala, from its old location at User:Wildliferesearcher/sandbox. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. Nathan2055^{talk - contribs} 01:08, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Wildliferesearcher. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Yadvendradev Vikramsinh Jhala, 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. Kj cheetham (talk) 10:49, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi,

There is no conflict of interest or any payments being made for this article. The aim is to build a repository of key people in Wildlife from India on Wikipedia, out of my own volition. -- Wildliferesearcher (talk) 22:13, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi Wildliferesearcher, just to confirm, do you know Yadvendradev Vikramsinh Jhala in person? Do you work with them? -Kj cheetham (talk) 22:17, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi Kj cheetham, I work under him but know about his legacy as a student of wildlife science in India. This page isn't being created on his instructions in any manner. Like any other university across the world, this an effort of students and fellow academicians who have sent pics and relevant details, much of which is in public domain, including his achievements and research work, easily available on a google search on multiple credible sources. Some fellow reviewer however, has not taken the pain to verify the sources and the work/facts cited and simply removed so much of crucial information.

However, you are welcome to look things up on your own through the remaining links in references, articles that link back to this page demonstrating his contributions in wildlife across the world. Thanks! --Wildliferesearcher (talk) 22:30, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for your reply. The fact you work under him, even if you're not directly asked to edit the article or being paid for it, is a potential conflict of interest, so I will tag the talk page accordingly. Anything stated on Wikipedia that isn't backed up by a source can be potentially removed by other editors - ideally the sources would be easy to find, so no need for any pain. :) -Kj cheetham (talk) 22:36, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

Thanks! Kj cheetham --Wildliferesearcher (talk) 22:07, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

• Just a reminder that given your conflict of interest you need to refrain from editing the article directly and need to request changes via the talk page. GRINCHIDICAE🎄 00:40, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
• I believe there is little outside reviewers would know even if credible sources are available in the public domain, else there is no point of anyone being a creator. There has to be some level of personal drive towards the cause of wikipedia as well as the subject, beyond the conflict of interest of course. The article is published publicly and I have understood that credible sources need to be cited which I shall do. Also, I understand there is a point to undo changes function available in wikipedia. Of course, common courtesy entails having a communication with reviewers where there seems to be a lack of it due to limited remarks while publishing. However, I understand the spirit in which the remark is made. Thanks. Have a nice day. -- Wildliferesearcher (talk) 00:59, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
