Disambiguation link notification for February 15
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited National Institute of Open Schooling, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page National. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Question from Omregcik on User:Omregcik (15:33, 15 March 2025)
How do I create a Page for myself. --Omregcik (talk) 15:33, 15 March 2025 (UTC)
- Do you mean a User page?
- I just made my account last week and the way I made my userpage is by following tutorials such as this one.
- If that doesn't help—or if Wiki markup is too difficult to use—then I suggest either "inspecting" (press edit, look at the code, then press "cancel") the source code of other users' user pages or using the VisualEditor, respectively.
- Funny you asked this question—this user is my mentor, and I asked a similar question. I guess TypeInfo was too busy, since I don't see my question—it must have been deleted or something.
- Anyhow, I hope this helps, Omregcik, but don't trust me too much—as I am a newcomer also.
- Cheers,
- EmDashUser002 (talk) 15:36, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

Guideline and policy news
- Following an RfC, administrator elections were permanently authorized on a five-month schedule. The next election will be scheduled soon; see Wikipedia talk:Administrator elections for more information. This is an alternate process to the RfA process and does not replace the latter.
- An RfC was closed with consensus to allow editors to opt-out of seeing "sticky decorative elements". Such elements should now be wrapped in {{sticky decoration wrapper}}. Editors who wish to opt out can follow the instructions at WP:STICKYDECO.
- An RfC has resulted in a broad prohibition on the use of AI-generated images in articles. A few common-sense exceptions are recognized.

Hello TypeInfo. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being employed (or being compensated in any way) by a person, group, company or organization to promote their interests. Paid advocacy on Wikipedia must be disclosed even if you have not specifically been asked to edit Wikipedia. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.
Paid advocates are strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.
Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, 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:TypeInfo. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=TypeInfo|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. 331dot (talk) 10:03, 13 May 2025 (UTC)
- @331dot I did not know about this template. I have removed that tablet and I am creating this article on my own. Nobody is paying me. This is volunteer work. Draft:BVG India Limited TYPEINFO (talk) 10:29, 13 May 2025 (UTC)
- So you aren't employed by BVG or otherwise associated with them? 331dot (talk) 10:31, 13 May 2025 (UTC)
- I am not involved in any way. I just watch as the news goes. TYPEINFO (talk) 10:33, 13 May 2025 (UTC)
- Okay. Based on your writing, it seemed that you are. Please review neutral point of view. An article about a company typically shouldn't describe the offerings of the company, at least as a mere list. You should be summarizing what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the subject and how it meets WP:ORG. 331dot (talk) 10:38, 13 May 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you so much, Sir/ma'am.@331dot TYPEINFO (talk) 10:41, 13 May 2025 (UTC)

Meenakshi Kandwal moved to draftspace
Thanks for your contributions to Meenakshi Kandwal. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability, it is promotional and reads like an advertisement and fails WP:GNG. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.
Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit the draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Bakhtar40 (talk) 08:22, 12 June 2025 (UTC)
Hello. You're invited to participate in The World Destubathon. We're aiming to destub a lot of articles and also improve longer stale articles. It started today on Monday June 16 and will run until Sunday July 13. There is over $3300 going into it, with $500 the top prize. If you are interested in winning something to save you money in buying books for future content, or just see it as a good editathon opportunity to see a lot of articles improved for subjects which interest you, sign up on the page in the participants section if interested. Even if you can only manage a few articles they would be very much appreciated and help make the content produced as diverse and broad as possible! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:09, 16 June 2025 (UTC)
