Editing with a possible conflict of interest

Hello, Kousikb.inc. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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, company, organization or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
• disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
• 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 must 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 WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.--SamHolt6 (talk) 23:54, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

@Kousikb.inc: hello again. I have noticed that you have continued to edit without responding to the inquest above; please answer the COI prompt at your earliest possible convenience. Thank you.--SamHolt6 (talk) 03:09, 27 January 2019 (UTC)

COI

You have an obvious conflict of interest and you must declare it. If you work directly or indirectly for an organisation, or otherwise are acting on its behalf, you are very strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. If you are paid directly or indirectly by the organisation you are writing about, 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:Kousikb.inc. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Kousikb.inc|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. Note that editing with a COI is discouraged, but permitted as long as it is declared. Concealing a COI can lead to a block. Please do not edit further until you respond to this message.

I note that you have already told SamHolt6 that you have no COI, but like him, I don't see that as credible. Please think carefully about your answer, or write about a completely different topic instead. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 14:42, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

Also read the following regarding writing an article

• you must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the organisation, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the organisation claims or interviewing its management. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls
• The notability guidelines for organisations and companies have been updated. The primary criteria has five components that must be evaluated separately and independently to determine if it is met:

1. significant coverage in
2. independent,
3. multiple,
4. reliable,
5. secondary sources.

Note that an individual source must meet all four criteria to be counted towards notability.

• you must write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic.
• there shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections.
• you must not copy text from elsewhere. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial; text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.

Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Also read Your first article. You must also reply to the COI request above Jimfbleak - talk to me? 14:42, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi Jimfbleak, as I said to Samholt6, I have no connection with the company to write this article. As I stated earlier, I am a customer of this company. I have availed their editing service for one of my thesis and loved the plethora of unique services they offer to researcher community. Hence wrote this article to spread about the service and company in the researcher community. However, if this is not convincing enough to clarify the COI, then probably I would pass this to their employee to rewrite the article from their side. My intention was to write an article about the company and service which is not very known to many people. I have no other interest in terms of getting paid. I am a researcher and a customer of this company, that's the only connection I have with Editage. Please suggest how to move forward.

Do you have any connection with Cactus Communications? Jimfbleak - talk to me? 07:57, 30 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi Jimfbleak, I am a customer of Editage (Cactus communication) and have used their services recently. By profession, I am a researcher of Genetics. I don't have any connection with Editage and Cactus communication relating to this article. Kousikb.inc (talk) 12:45, 30 January 2019 (UTC)

The reason I'm pressing you on this is that Kousik Bhattacharya (also known on his social media as KousikB) is the Head of Online Marketing at Cactus Communications, and the correspondence with your chosen user name (complete with the corporate-looking .inc), together with the choice of this topic as one that feel you must create above all others makes us very wary that you are not being transparent. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 13:50, 30 January 2019 (UTC)

Well, I just noticed that and now understood your point. However, I am not that person certainly. My full name is Kousik Balasubramaniyan. Coincidentally the user name has matched with their employee. However, thanks for all clarifications. I think I will not pursue this anymore. I may hand over this to the company, if they would like to take it forward. Thanks Jimfbleak Kousikb.inc (talk) 16:20, 30 January 2019 (UTC)
