Welcome!

Hello, MarkRVS, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Rishi Valley School, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. See WP:ALUMNI Muhandes (talk) 19:27, 25 January 2018 (UTC)

Bogus sources

When you put a source after a sentence it means the source verifies the sentence. Please stop adding sources which don't verify facts. Please stop adding unverified facts. --Muhandes (talk) 19:33, 25 January 2018 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, MarkRVS. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article Rishi Valley School, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. Editing for the purpose of advertising or promotion is not permitted. 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 COI 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 for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID). Thank you. Muhandes (talk) 19:57, 25 January 2018 (UTC)

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Rishi Valley School. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Muhandes (talk) 17:28, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

Adding to lists of alumni

Please read WP:ALUMNI. Please don't add^[corrected] people without an article (to show notability) and source for verifying membership. --Muhandes (talk) 17:30, 31 January 2018 (UTC) ; edited 21:34, 24 March 2018 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Rishi Valley School. Muhandes (talk) 18:45, 8 March 2018 (UTC)

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for persistently adding unsourced content to articles. The block is for just 48 hours, and I notice that there have been gaps of more than that in your editing history, so it is possible that the block may not affect you. However, whether that is so or not, you will be aware of the block, as you will receive a notification of this message. You have not taken heed of warning messages in the past, but if you still persist in the same way after having this short block, you are likely to be blocked for much longer, so please do take notice of it. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 21:10, 10 March 2018 (UTC)

Sources

Please don't use a self published source to verify claims like "belongs to one of Odisha's most distinguished and aristocratic families." --Muhandes (talk) 19:47, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Oopali Operajita. Muhandes (talk) 17:37, 24 March 2018 (UTC)

Conflict of Interest and Rishi Valley School

I remind you again that you have a conflict of interest with Rishi Valley School and I linked above the relevant guidelines and how you are required to conduct yourself. Unrelated to that conflict of of interest, you added two people to the list of alumni without a prior article. I am going to link below some material about this matter. --Muhandes (talk) 17:47, 24 March 2018 (UTC)

Hello. Your recent edit to Rishi Valley School appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you.

"Don't people to show notability"

Wow that's a masterpiece of rhetoric! What on earth is "notability"? MarkRVS (talk) 20:09, 24 March 2018 (UTC)

I corrected that message, one word was missing. As for your question: Notability. --Muhandes (talk) 21:37, 24 March 2018 (UTC)

More unsourced information

And again, in this edit you introduce "award-winning poet, Nirmala Devi", which is not mentioned in the source. --Muhandes (talk) 21:46, 24 March 2018 (UTC)

Patents

@Muhandes. Groan! It's public knowledge that Rai Bahadur Durga Charan Das was married to the poet Nirmala Devi. What do you need? Their wedding certificate? They didn't exist at the turn of the 19th century.

You say you have a Ph.D in Computer Science? How many patents do you own? Where I come from, people with Computer Science Ph.Ds own an average of 15 patents. Most own many more! Or are Wiki - and its concomitants and your unique brand of poor English, unalloyed belligerence, threatening and house cattism - a full time occupation? Hominem, non hominem, whatever! Actually, hominem.

Notability. Notabilities. No Ability. Whatever. MarkRVS (talk) 08:39, 25 March 2018 (UTC)

Let me quote WP:V: Readers must be able to check that any of the information within Wikipedia articles is not just made up. This means all material must be attributable to reliable, published sources. This is not about what I need, it is about what Wikipedia requires. My credentials and other occupations are irrelevant. --Muhandes (talk) 11:44, 25 March 2018 (UTC)

Argumentum ad Ignorantiam

Precisely. Couples with a pathological obsession with deleting the names of some of Rishi Valley's most distinguished alumni! Analogous to a witch hunt. And in questionable language.

They couldn't care less. If one googles them, one finds hundreds of entries on them. Alas! They don't make the benchmark for "Notability." MarkRVS (talk) 08:51, 25 March 2018 (UTC)
