Bot: /* F11. No evidence of permission */ clean up

{{nutshell|Under certain limited conditions, a page may be deleted by an [[Bharatpedia:Administrators|administrator]] without waiting for any discussion.}}

The '''criteria for speedy deletion''' ('''CSD''') specify the only cases in which [[Bharatpedia:Administrators|administrators]] have broad consensus to bypass deletion discussion, at their discretion, and immediately delete Bharatpedia pages or media. Anyone can request speedy deletion by adding one of the speedy deletion templates, but only administrators may actually delete it.

Deletion is reversible, but only by administrators, so other deletions occur only after discussion, unless they are [[Bharatpedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion]]s. Speedy deletion is intended to reduce the time spent on deletion discussions for pages or media with no practical chance of surviving discussion.

Before nominating a page for speedy deletion, consider whether it could be improved, reduced to a stub, merged or redirected elsewhere, reverted to a better previous revision, or handled in some other way. A page is eligible for speedy deletion only if all of its revisions are also eligible. Users nominating a page for speedy deletion should specify which criterion/criteria the page meets, and should notify the page creator and any major contributors. If a page needs to be removed from Bharatpedia for privacy reasons (e.g. non-public personal information, a child disclosing the child's age, possible libel), request oversight instead.

{{Anchor|Removing speedy deletion tags}}
For most speedy deletion criteria, {{strong|the creator of a page may not remove the deletion tag from it}}; only an editor who is not the creator of a page may do so. A creator who disagrees with the speedy deletion should instead click on the {{Button|Contest this speedy deletion}} button that appears inside of the speedy deletion tag. This button links to the [[Bharatpedia:Talk page|discussion page]] with a pre-formatted area for the creator to explain why the page should not be deleted. If an editor other than the creator removes a speedy deletion tag in [[Bharatpedia:Assume good faith|good faith]], it should be taken as a sign that the deletion is controversial and another deletion process should be used. The creator of a page may remove a speedy deletion tag only if the criterion in question is [[BP:G6|G6]], [[BP:G7|G7]], [[BP:G8|G8]], [[BP:G13|G13]], [[BP:G14|G14]] or [[BP:U1|U1]].

Administrators should take care not to speedily delete pages or media except in the most obvious cases. If a page has survived its most recent deletion discussion, it should not be speedily deleted except for newly discovered copyright violations and pages that meet specific uncontroversial criteria; these criteria are noted below. Contributors sometimes create pages over several edits, so administrators should avoid deleting a page that appears incomplete too soon after its creation.

Besides speedy deletion, there are the following methods of deletion:
* [[Bharatpedia:Deletion discussions]] (<small>[[Bharatpedia:AFD|AfD]], [[Bharatpedia:CFD|CfD]], [[Bharatpedia:FFD|FfD]], [[Bharatpedia:MFD|MfD]], [[Bharatpedia:RFD|RfD]], [[Bharatpedia:TFD|TfD]]</small>), the normal method of carrying out deletion.
* [[Bharatpedia:Proposed deletions]], for nominating articles and files for uncontroversial deletion.
* [[Bharatpedia:Proposed deletion of biographies of living people]], for articles on living persons without sources.

__TOC__

{{Anchor|cri|CRI|crit|CRIT|CRITERIA}}

== Introduction to criteria ==

Abbreviations (G12, A3...) are often used to refer to these criteria, and are given in each section. For example, "CSD G12" refers to ''criterion 12'' under ''general'' (copyright infringement) and "CSD U1" refers to ''criterion 1'' under ''user'' (user request). {{Strong|These abbreviations can be confusing}} to new editors or anyone else unfamiliar with this page; in many situations a [[Bharatpedia:Technical terms and definitions|plain-English explanation]] of why a specific page was or should be deleted is preferable.

{{Anchor|d|D|dt|DT|delt|DELT|deltem|DELTEM|deltemp|DELTEMP}}{{Anchor|deletion template|Deletion template|DELETIONTEMPLATE}}
Immediately following each criterion below is a list of templates used to mark pages or media files for speedy deletion under the criterion being used. In order to alert administrators to the nomination, place the relevant speedy deletion template at the top of the page or media file you are nominating (but see [[#Pages that need to be tagged in a special manner]] below). Please be sure to supply an [[Help:Edit summary|edit summary]] that mentions that the page is being nominated for speedy deletion. All of the speedy deletion templates are named as ''Db-X'' with ''Db'' standing for 'delete because'. A list of the ''Db-X'' templates can be found at [[Bharatpedia:Criteria for speedy deletion/Deletion templates]].

If a page falls under more than one of the criteria, instead of adding multiple tags it is possible to add a single {{Tl|Db-multiple}} tag to cover them all. For example, if an article seems both to be blatantly promotional ([[#G11|G11]]) and also to fail to indicate significance of its subject (A7) then the tag {{Tlx|Db-multiple|G11|A7}} can be used to indicate both of these concerns. The article can then be speedily deleted if an administrator assesses it and decides that either or both of the criteria apply.

There is strong consensus that the creators and major contributors of pages and media files should be warned of a speedy deletion nomination (or of the deletion if not informed before). All speedy deletion templates (using criteria other than U1, G5, G6, G7, and G8) thus contain in their body a pre-formatted, suggested warning template to notify the relevant party or parties of the nomination for speedy deletion under the criterion used. You can copy and paste such warnings to the talk pages of the creators and major contributors, choose from others listed at [[:Category:CSD warning templates]], or place the unified warning template, {{Tlxs|CSD-warn|{{Var|csd}}|''Page name''}}, which allows you to tailor your warning under any particular criterion by replacing <code>{{Var|csd}}</code> with the associated criterion abbreviation (e.g. g4, a7).

Use common sense when applying a speedy deletion request to a page: review the page history to make sure that all earlier revisions of the page meet the speedy deletion criterion, because a single editor can replace an article with material that appears to cause the page to meet one or more of the criteria.

=== Pages that need to be tagged in a special manner ===

Some pages either cannot or should not be tagged for speedy deletion in the normal manner:
* Pages that you cannot edit (e.g., due to protection), or [[JavaScript Object Notation|JSON]] pages: place the template on the corresponding Talk page instead, along with an explanation of which page to delete.
* [[Bharatpedia:Template namespace|Template:]] pages: place the template within a noinclude tag, like this: {{Tag|noinclude|content={{tlf|Db-x}}}}
* [[Bharatpedia:Lua|Module:]] pages (except for /doc pages): place the template with [[Module:Module wikitext]], like this: <syntaxhighlight lang="lua" inline>require('Module:Module wikitext')._addText('{{Db-x}}')</syntaxhighlight>
* [[Help:Cascading Style Sheets|CSS]] (including [[Bharatpedia:TemplateStyles|sanitized CSS]]) or [[Bharatpedia:User scripts|JavaScript]] pages: place the template in a comment, like this: <code>/* {{tlf|Db-x}} */</code>

=== Pages that have survived deletion discussions ===
When applicable, the following criteria may be used to delete pages that have survived their most recent deletion discussions:
*G5, creation by banned or blocked users, subject to the strict condition that the XfD participants were unaware that the article would have met the criterion and/or that the article creator's blocked or banned status was not known to the participants of the XfD discussion.
* G6, technical deletions
* G8, pages dependent on nonexistent pages
* G9, office actions
* G12, unambiguous copyright violations
* G13, stale drafts, if 6 months have passed since the deletion discussion and any subsequent human edits
* A5, transwikied pages
* F8, images on Commons
* F9, unambiguous copyright infringement
* U1, user requests deletion within their own userspace
These criteria may only be used in such cases when no controversy exists; in the event of a dispute, start a new deletion discussion. However, newly discovered copyright violations should be tagged for G12 if the violation existed in all previous revisions of the article. G5 may be also used at discretion, subject to meeting the criterion outlined above.

{{Anchor|g|G|gc|GC|gcrit|GCRIT|gencrit|GENCRIT|generalcrit|GENERALCRIT}}{{Anchor|general|GENERAL}}

== List of criteria ==

=== General ===
{{Shortcut|BP:GCSD}}
These apply to [[Help:Namespace|every type of page]] with exclusions listed for specific criteria, and so apply to articles, redirects, user pages, talk pages, files, etc. Read the specifics for each criterion to see where and how they apply.

{{Anchor|G1|g1|nonsense}}
==== G1. Patent nonsense ====
{{Shortcut|BP:G1}}
This applies to pages consisting entirely of incoherent text or [[gibberish]] with no meaningful content or history. It does ''not'' cover poor writing, partisan screeds, obscene remarks, implausible theories, [[Bharatpedia:Vandalism|vandalism]] or [[Bharatpedia:Do not create hoaxes|hoaxes]], fictional material, coherent [[Template:Not English|non-English]] material, or [[Bharatpedia:Pages needing translation into English|poorly translated material]]. Nor does it apply to [[Bharatpedia:User_pages#SUB|user sandboxes]] or other pages in the [[Bharatpedia:User page|user namespace]]. In short, if it is understandable, G1 does not apply.
* {{Tl|Db-g1}}, {{Tl|Db-nonsense}}

{{Anchor|G2|g2|test}}

==== G2. Test pages ====
{{Shortcut|BP:G2}}
This applies to pages created to test editing or other Bharatpedia functions. It applies to subpages of the [[Bharatpedia:Sandbox|Bharatpedia Sandbox]] created as tests, but does '''not''' apply to the Sandbox itself. It does not apply to pages in the [[Bharatpedia:User page|user namespace]]. It does not apply to valid but unused or duplicate templates.
* {{Tl|Db-g2}}, {{Tl|Db-test}}

{{Anchor|G3|g3|vandalism|vandal}}

==== G3. Pure vandalism and blatant hoaxes ====
{{Shortcut|BP:G3}}
This applies to pages that are blatant and obvious misinformation, blatant [[Bharatpedia:Do not create hoaxes|hoaxes]] (including files intended to misinform), and redirects created by cleanup from page-move vandalism. [[Bharatpedia:Do not create hoaxes#Hoaxes, versus articles about hoaxes|Articles ''about'' notable hoaxes]] are acceptable if it is clear that they are describing a hoax.
* {{Tl|Db-g3}}, {{Tl|Db-vandalism}} <small>– for vandalism</small>
* {{Tl|Db-hoax}} <small>– for hoaxes</small>

{{Anchor|G4|g4|repost}}

==== G4. Recreation of a page that was deleted per a deletion discussion ====
{{Shortcut|BP:G4}}
This applies to sufficiently identical copies, having any title, of a page deleted via its most recent [[Bharatpedia:Deletion discussions|deletion discussion]]. It excludes pages that are ''not'' substantially identical to the deleted version, pages to which the reason for the deletion no longer applies, and content that has been [[Bharatpedia:Userfication|moved to user space]] or [[BP:DRAFTS|converted to a draft]] for explicit improvement (but not simply to circumvent Bharatpedia's [[Bharatpedia:Deletion policy|deletion policy]]). This criterion also does not cover content undeleted via a [[Bharatpedia:Deletion review|deletion review]], or that was only deleted via [[Bharatpedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion]] (including deletion discussions closed as [[BP:SOFTDELETE|"soft delete"]]) or speedy deletion.
* {{Tl|Db-g4}}, {{Tl|Db-repost}}

{{Anchor|G5|g5|banned}}

==== G5. Creations by banned or blocked users ====
{{Shortcut|BP:G5}}
This applies to pages created by [[:Category:Banned Bharatpedia users|banned]] or [[:Category:Blocked Bharatpedia users|blocked]] users''' in violation of their [[Bharatpedia:Banning policy|ban]] or [[Bharatpedia:Blocking policy|block]]''', and that have no substantial edits by others. G5 should not be applied to [[BP:TRANS|transcluded]] templates or to [[Bharatpedia:Categorization|categories]] that may be useful or suitable for merging.
* To qualify, the edit or page must have been made while the user was actually banned or blocked. A page created before the ban or block was imposed or after it was lifted will not qualify under this criterion.
* For [[Bharatpedia:Banning policy#Topic ban|topic-banned]] editors, the page must be a violation of the user's specific ban, and does not include contributions legitimately about some other topic.
* When a blocked or banned person uses an alternate account (sock-puppet) to avoid a restriction, any pages created via the sock account after the earliest block or ban of any of that person's accounts qualify for G5 (if not substantially edited by others); this is the most common case for applying G5.

Templates:
* {{Tlp|Db-g5|''name of banned user''}}, {{Tlp|Db-banned|''name of banned user''}}

{{Anchor|G6|g6|histmerge|disambig}}

==== G6. Technical deletions ====
{{Shortcut|BP:G6}}
{{for2|disambiguation pages that disambiguate one or zero pages|criterion [[#G14|G14]]}}
This is for [[Bharatpedia:Consensus|uncontroversial]] maintenance, including:
* Deleting empty dated maintenance categories for dates in the past
* Deleting redirects or other pages blocking [[Help:Renaming (moving) a page|page moves]]. Administrators should be aware of the [[Bharatpedia:Requested moves/Closing instructions#Moving procedures|proper procedures]] where a redirect or page holding up a page move has a non-trivial page history. An administrator who deletes a page that is blocking a move should ensure that the move is completed after deleting it.
* Deleting pages unambiguously created in error or in the incorrect namespace.
* Deleting templates orphaned as the result of a consensus at [[BP:TfD]].
Templates:
* {{Tlp|Db-g6|2=rationale=''reason''}} <small>– If none of the special tags below applies, this tag should be used with a reason specified in the {{Para|rationale}} parameter.</small>
* {{Tlp|Db-copypaste|''page to be moved''}} <small>– for [[Bharatpedia:Administrators' guide/Fixing cut-and-paste moves|cut-and-paste page moves]] that need to be temporarily deleted to make room for a clean page move.</small>
* {{Tlp|Db-move|''page to be moved''|''reason''}} <small>– for pages that are currently holding up a non-controversial or consensual page move.</small>
* {{Tlp|Db-moved}} <small>– for pages that were holding up a page move, until they were moved out of the way by a [[Bharatpedia:page mover|page mover]].</small>
* {{Tlp|1=Db-xfd|2=fullvotepage=''link to closed [[Bharatpedia:Deletion process|deletion discussion]]''|wrap=yes}} <small>– for pages where a consensus to delete has been previously reached via deletion discussion, but which were not deleted.</small>
* {{tl|Db-error}} <small>– for pages obviously created in error.</small>

{{Anchor|G7|g7|author|blanked}}

==== G7. Author requests deletion ====
{{Shortcut|BP:G7}}
If requested in good faith and provided that the only substantial content of the page was added by its author. For redirects created as a result of a [[Help:Moving a page|page move]], the mover must also have been the only substantive contributor to the pages before the move. If the sole author [[Bharatpedia:Glossary#Blanking|blanks]] a page other than a userspace page, a category page, or any type of talk page, this can be taken as a deletion request.

* {{Tl|Db-g7}}, {{Tl|Db-author}}, {{Tl|Db-blanked}}, {{Tl|Db-self}}

{{Anchor|G8|g8|talk|subpage|C3|c3|catfd|R1|r1|redirnone}}

==== G8. Pages dependent on a non-existent or deleted page ====
{{Shortcut|BP:G8}}
Examples include:
* [[Bharatpedia:Talk page|Talk pages]] with no corresponding subject page
* [[Bharatpedia:Subpage|Subpages]] with no parent page
* [[Help:File page|File pages]] without a corresponding file
* [[Bharatpedia:Redirect|Redirects]] to targets that never existed or were deleted
* Unused [[Bharatpedia:Editnotice|editnotices]] of non-existent or [[Bharatpedia:Protection_policy#Creation_protection|unsalted]] deleted pages
* Categories populated by deleted or retargeted templates

This criterion excludes any page that is useful to Bharatpedia, and in particular:
* Deletion discussions that are not logged elsewhere
* [[Bharatpedia:Talk page guidelines#User talk pages|User talk pages]]
* Talk page archives (except article talk page archives where the corresponding article and main talk page have been deleted and the page is not otherwise useful to Bharatpedia – check for page-moves and merges before using G8 on article-talk-page-archives; the parent article might still exist under a different name)
* Redirects that were broken as a result of a page move (these should instead be retargeted to their target's new name), except where [[BP:R2|R2]] speedy deletion would then immediately apply
* Plausible redirects that can be changed to valid targets
* User subpages when the user has not created a [[Bharatpedia:User pages|user page]]
* Pages that should be moved to a different location

Exceptions may be sign-posted with the template {{Tl|G8-exempt}}.
* {{Tl|Db-g8}} <small>– for cases not covered by any of the special tags below</small>
* {{Tl|Db-imagepage}} <small>– for file description pages with no corresponding file</small>
* {{Tl|Db-redirnone}} <small>– for pages that redirect to nonexistent/deleted pages, or pages currently flagged for speedy deletion</small>
* {{Tl|Db-subpage}} <small>– for subpages of nonexistent/deleted pages, or pages currently flagged for speedy deletion</small>
* {{Tl|Db-talk}} <small>– for talk pages of nonexistent/deleted pages, or pages currently flagged for speedy deletion</small>
* {{Tl|Db-templatecat}} <small>– for categories populated by a deleted or retargeted template</small>

{{Anchor|G9|g9|office|OFFICE|wmf|WMF}}

==== G9. Office actions ====
{{Shortcut|BP:G9}}
In exceptional circumstances, the Bharatpedia office reserves the right to speedy-delete a page. Deletions of this type must not be reversed without permission from the Foundation.

{{Anchor|G10|g10|attack|ATTACK|ATK|ATCK|A6|a6}}

==== G10. Pages that disparage, threaten, intimidate, or harass their subject or some other entity, and serve no other purpose ====
{{Shortcut|BP:G10}}
Examples of "[[Bharatpedia:Attack page|attack pages]]" may include [[Bharatpedia:Libel|libel]], [[Bharatpedia:No legal threats|legal threats]], material intended purely to [[Bharatpedia:Harassment|harass or intimidate]] a person or [[Bharatpedia:Biographies of living persons|biographical material about a living person]] that is entirely negative in tone and unsourced. These pages should be speedily deleted when there is no [[Bharatpedia:Neutral point of view|neutral]] version in the page history to revert to. Both the page title and page content may be taken into account in assessing an attack. Articles about living people deleted under this criterion should '''not''' be restored or recreated by any editor until the [[Bharatpedia:Biographies of living persons|biographical article standards]] are met. Other pages violating the Biographies of living persons policy might be eligible for deletion under the conditions stipulated at [[Bharatpedia:Biographies of living persons#Summary deletion, creation prevention, and courtesy blanking]], although in most cases a deletion discussion should be initiated instead.

Redirects from plausible search terms are not eligible under this criterion. For example, a term used on the target page to refer to its subject is often a plausible redirect – see [[Bharatpedia:RNEUTRAL]].

* {{Tl|Db-g10}}, {{Tl|Db-attack}}, {{Tl|Db-attackorg}}, {{Tl|Db-personal attack}}
* {{Tl|Db-negublp}} <small>– for [[Bharatpedia:Biographies of living persons|articles about living persons]] that are unsourced, entirely negative in tone, and have no neutral version to revert to</small>

{{Anchor|G11|g11|spam}}

==== G11. Unambiguous advertising or promotion ====
{{Shortcut|BP:G11}}
This applies to pages that are ''exclusively'' promotional and would need to be ''fundamentally'' rewritten to serve as encyclopedia articles, [[Bharatpedia:What_Bharatpedia_is_not#Bharatpedia_is_not_a_soapbox_or_means_of_promotion|rather than advertisements]]. If a subject is [[Bharatpedia:Notability|notable]] and the content could plausibly be replaced with text written from a [[Bharatpedia:Neutral point of view|neutral point of view]], this is preferable to deletion. '''Note:''' Any article that describes its subject from a neutral point of view does not qualify for this criterion. However, "promotion" does not necessarily mean commercial promotion: anything can be promoted, including a person, a non-commercial organization, a point of view, etc.
* {{Tl|Db-g11}}, {{Tl|Db-promo}}, {{Tl|Db-spam}}
* {{Tl|Db-spamuser}} <small>– for userpages used only for publicity and promotion, with a username that promotes or implies affiliation with the entity being promoted</small>

{{Anchor|G12|g12|A8|a8|copyvio}}

==== G12. Unambiguous copyright infringement ====
{{Shortcut|BP:G12}}
This applies to text pages that contain copyrighted material with no credible assertion of public domain, fair use, or a [[Bharatpedia:Compatible license|compatible free license]], where there is no non-infringing content on the page worth saving. Only if the history is unsalvageably corrupted should it be deleted in its entirety; earlier versions without infringement should be retained. For equivocal cases that do not meet speedy deletion criteria (such as where there is a dubious assertion of permission, where free-content edits overlie the infringement, or where there is only partial infringement or close paraphrasing), the article or the appropriate section should be blanked with {{Tls|Copyvio|2=url=''insert URL here''}}, and the page should be listed at [[Bharatpedia:Copyright problems]]. Please consult [[Bharatpedia:Copyright violations]] for other instructions. Public-domain and other free content, such as a [[Bharatpedia:Mirrors and forks|Bharatpedia mirror]], do not fall under this criterion, nor is mere lack of attribution of such works a reason for speedy deletion. For images and media, see the [[Bharatpedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#F9|equivalent criterion]] in the [[#Files|"Files" section]] here, which has more specific instructions.
* {{Tlp|Db-g12|2=url=''source URL''}}, {{Tlp|Db-copyvio|2=url=''source URL''}}
:'''Note:''' If other criteria apply in addition to G12, the template {{Tl|Db-multiple}} should be used instead, so we don't waste time seeking [[Bharatpedia:Requesting copyright permission|copyright permission]] after deleting the page.
* {{Tlp|Db-multiple|2=g12|3=url=''source URL''|4=''other criteria''}}
{{Anchor|G13|g13|AFC|AfC|afc}}

==== G13. Abandoned Drafts and ''Articles for creation'' submissions ====
{{Shortcut|BP:G13}}
Any pages that have not been edited by a human in six months found in:
# [[BP:Drafts|Draft namespace]],
# [[BP:UD|Userspace]] with an {{Tl|AFC submission}} template
# Userspace with no content except the [[Bharatpedia:Article Wizard|article wizard]] placeholder text.
Redirects are exempt from G13 deletion. Pages deleted under G13 may be restored upon request by following the procedure at [[Bharatpedia:Requests for undeletion/G13]].
* {{Tl|Db-g13}}, {{Tl|Db-afc}}, {{tl|db-blankdraft}}

{{Anchor|G14|g14|Disambiguation|disambiguation|disambig}}

==== G14. Unnecessary disambiguation pages ====
{{Shortcut|BP:G14}}
This applies to the following [[Bharatpedia:Disambiguation|disambiguation]] pages:
*Disambiguation pages that have titles ending in "(disambiguation)" but disambiguate only one extant Bharatpedia page.
*Regardless of title, disambiguation pages that disambiguate zero extant Bharatpedia pages.
*A redirect that ends in "(disambiguation)" but does not redirect to a disambiguation page or a page that performs a disambiguation-like function.
If a disambiguation page links to only one article and does not end in ''(disambiguation)'', it should be changed to a redirect, unless it is more appropriate to move the linked page to the title currently used for the disambiguation page. G14 also applies to pages that perform a disambiguation-like function (such as [[Bharatpedia:set index articles|set index articles]] or lists).
* {{Tl|Db-g14}}, {{Tl|Db-disambig}}

{{Anchor|a|A|articles|ARTICLES|article|Article|ARTICLE|art|Art}}{{Anchor|ART|arti|Arti|ARTI}}

=== [[Bharatpedia:What is an article?|Articles]] ===
{{Shortcut|BP:ACSD}}

These criteria apply only to pages in the article (main) namespace. They do not apply to redirects. For any articles that are not speedy deletion candidates, use [[Bharatpedia:Articles for deletion]] or [[Bharatpedia:Proposed deletion]].

Not all numbers are used, as [[Bharatpedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Obsolete criteria|some criteria have been repealed]].

{{Anchor|A1|a1|nocontext}}

==== A1. No context ====
{{Shortcut|BP:A1}}

This applies to articles lacking sufficient context to identify the subject of the article. ''Example: "He is a funny man with a red car. He makes people laugh."'' It applies only to very short articles. Note that ''context'' is different from ''content'', treated in [[Bharatpedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#A3|A3]]. This ''excludes'' coherent [[Template:Not English|non-English]] material, and [[Bharatpedia:Pages needing translation into English|poorly translated material]]. If any information in the title or on the page, including links, allows an editor, possibly with the aid of a web search, to find further information on the subject in an attempt to expand or edit it, A1 is not appropriate. Don't tag under this criterion in the first few minutes after a new article is created.
* {{Tl|Db-a1}}, {{Tl|Db-nocontext}}

{{Anchor|A2|a2|notenglish}}

==== A2. Foreign language articles ====
{{Shortcut|BP:A2}}

This applies to articles not written in English that have essentially the same content as an article on Wikimedia projects. If the article is not the same as an article on another project, use the template {{tlx|Not English}} instead, and list the page at [[Bharatpedia:Pages needing translation into English]] for review and possible translation.
* {{Tl|Db-a2}}, {{Tl|Db-foreign}}

{{Anchor|A3|a3|nocontent|blankcsd}}

==== A3. No content ====
{{Shortcut|BP:A3}}

This applies to articles consisting only of external links, category tags or "See also" sections, a rephrasing of the title, attempts to correspond with the person or group named by its title, questions that should have been asked at a [[Bharatpedia:Noticeboards|noticeboard]], chat-like comments, template tags, or images. This may also apply to articles consisting entirely of the framework of the [[Bharatpedia:Article wizard|Article wizard]] with no additional content, or no content at all. However, a very short article may be a valid [[Bharatpedia:Stub|stub]] if it has context, in which case it is not eligible for deletion under this criterion. Similarly, this criterion does not cover a page having only an infobox, unless its contents also meet another speedy deletion criterion. This criterion ''excludes'' poor writing, coherent [[template:notenglish|non-English]] material, and [[Bharatpedia:Pages needing translation into English|poorly translated material]]. Don't tag under this criterion in the first few minutes after a new article is created.

* {{Tl|Db-a3}}, {{Tl|Db-nocontent}}, {{Tl|Db-contact}}
* {{Tl|Db-empty}} <small>– context-specific version: calls {{Tl|Db-c1}} for categories, and {{Tl|Db-a3}} everywhere else.</small>

{{Anchor|A5|a5|transwiki}}

==== A7. No indication of importance (people, animals, organizations, web content, events) ====
{{Shortcut|BP:A7}}

This applies to any article about a '''real person, individual animal, commercial or non-commercial organization, [[Bharatpedia:Notability (web)|web content]], or organized event''' that does not indicate why its subject is important or significant, '''with the exception of [[educational institution]]s'''. This is distinct from [[Bharatpedia:Verifiability|verifiability]] and [[Bharatpedia:Identifying reliable sources|reliability of sources]], and is a lower standard than [[Bharatpedia:Notability|notability]]. This criterion applies '''only''' to articles about the listed subjects; in particular, it does '''not''' apply to articles about products, books, films, TV programmes, albums (these may be covered by [[#A9|CSD A9]]), software, or other creative works, nor to entire ''species'' of animals. The criterion '''does''' apply if the claim of significance or importance given is not credible, and any article with a blatantly false claim may be [[#G3|submitted for speedy deletion as a hoax]] instead. If the claim's credibility is unclear, you can improve the article yourself, [[Bharatpedia:Proposed deletion|propose deletion]], or list the article at [[Bharatpedia:Articles for deletion|articles for deletion]].
* {{Tl|Db-a7}}
* {{Tl|Db-person}} <small>– for people</small>
* {{Tl|Db-band}} <small>– for bands</small>
* {{Tl|Db-club}} <small>– for clubs, societies and groups</small>
* {{Tl|Db-inc}} <small>– for commercial and non-commercial organizations</small>
* {{Tl|Db-web}} <small>– for websites</small>
* {{Tl|Db-animal}} <small>– for individual animals</small>
* {{Tl|Db-event}} <small> – for events</small>
The criterion does '''not''' apply to any article that makes '''any [[Bharatpedia:Credible claim of significance|credible claim of significance]] or importance''' even if the claim is not supported by a reliable source or does not qualify on Bharatpedia's [[Bharatpedia:Notability|notability guidelines]].

{{Anchor|A9|a9|music}}

==== A9. No indication of importance (musical recordings) ====
{{Shortcut|BP:A9}}
This applies to any article about a '''musical recording''' or '''list of musical recordings''' where '''none of the contributing recording artists has an article''' and that '''does not indicate why its subject is important or significant''' (''both'' conditions must be met). This is distinct from questions of [[Bharatpedia:Verifiability|verifiability]] and [[Bharatpedia:Identifying reliable sources|reliability of sources]], and is a lower standard than [[Bharatpedia:Notability (music)|notability]]. This criterion does '''not''' apply to other forms of creative media, products, or any other types of articles.
* {{Tl|Db-a9}}, {{Tl|Db-album}}, {{Tl|Db-song}}, {{Tl|Db-discog}}
The criterion does '''not''' apply to any article that makes '''any [[Bharatpedia:Credible claim of significance|credible claim of significance]] or importance''' even if the claim is not supported by a reliable source or does not qualify on Bharatpedia's [[Bharatpedia:Notability|notability guidelines]].

{{Anchor|A10|a10|duplicate}}

==== A10. Recently created article that duplicates an existing topic ====
{{Shortcut|BP:A10}}
This applies to any '''recently created''' article with no relevant page history that duplicates an existing English Bharatpedia topic, and that '''does not expand upon, detail or improve information''' within any existing article(s) on the subject, and where the title is '''not a plausible [[Bharatpedia:redirect|redirect]]'''.

This applies to '''recently''' created redirects from '''implausible''' [[Typographical error|typos]] or [[Bharatpedia:Naming conventions|misnomers]]. However, redirects from common misspellings or misnomers are generally useful, as are sometimes redirects in [[:Category:Redirects from alternative languages|other languages]]. This criterion does '''not''' apply to redirects created as a result of a [[Bharatpedia:Moving a page|page move]], unless the moved page was also recently created. It also does not apply to articles and stubs that have been converted into redirects, including [[Bharatpedia:Merging|redirects created by merges]], or to redirects ending with "(disambiguation)" that point to a disambiguation page.

==== Other issues with redirects ====
For any [[Bharatpedia:redirects|redirects]], including [[Bharatpedia:Soft redirect|soft redirects]], that are not speedy deletion candidates, use [[Bharatpedia:Redirects for discussion]]. Redirect pages that have useful page history should never be speedily deleted. In some cases it may be possible to make a useful redirect by changing the target instead of deleting it. Redirects that do not work because of software limitations, such as redirects to special pages or to pages on other wikis, may be converted to [[Bharatpedia:soft redirect|soft redirect]]s if they have a non-trivial history or other valid uses.

For reversal of redirects, use {{Tlx|Db-move}}, a special case of {{Tlx|Db-g6}}.

** Name and date of death of the creator of the artistic work represented by the file, or else clear evidence that a free license was given. If anonymous, ensure the page description provides evidence that establishes the anonymous status.
** Country where the artistic work represented by the file was situated, or where it was first published.
** Date when the artistic work represented by the file was created or first published, depending on the copyright law of the origin country.
** All image revisions that meet the first condition have been transferred to Commons as revisions of the Commons copy and properly marked as such.
* The image is not marked as {{Tlx|Do not move to Commons}} or as {{Tlx|Keep local}}.
* All information on the image description page is present on the Commons image description page, including the complete upload history with links to the uploader's local user pages (the upload history is ''not'' necessary if the file's license does not require it, although it is still recommended).
** If there is any information not relevant to any other project on the image description page (like {{Tlx|FeaturedPicture}}), the image description page must be undeleted after the file deletion.
* If the image is available on Commons under a different name than locally, all local references to the image must be updated to point to the title used at Commons.

==== F11. No evidence of permission ====
{{Shortcut|BP:F11}}

If an '''uploader''' has specified a license and has named a third party as the source/copyright holder without providing evidence that this third party has in fact agreed, the item may be deleted '''seven days after notification''' of the uploader. Acceptable evidence of licensing normally consists of either a link to the source website where the license is stated, or a statement by the copyright holder e-mailed or forwarded to [mailto:info@bharatpedia.org info@bharatpedia.org]. Such a confirmation is also required if the source is an organization that the uploader claims to represent, or a web publication that the uploader claims to be their own. Instances of '''obvious''' copyright violations where the uploader would have no reasonable expectation of obtaining permission (e.g. major studio movie posters, television images, album covers, logos that are ''not'' [[Template:Pd-textlogo|simple enough to be public domain]], etc.) should be speedily deleted per [[Bharatpedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#F9|reason F9]] (unambiguous copyright infringement), unless fair-use can be claimed.

{{Anchor|n|N|nc|NC|non|NON|noncrit|NONCRIT|noncriteria|NONCRITERIA}}{{Anchor|Noncriteria}}

== Non-criteria ==

{{Bharatpedia talk:Criteria for speedy deletion/Common requests}}

The following are not ''by themselves'' sufficient to justify speedy deletion:
# '''Reasons based on [[Bharatpedia:What Bharatpedia is not]] or essays'''. Bharatpedia is not: "a dictionary", "an indiscriminate collection of information", "a crystal ball", "a how-to list"; or essays like [[Bharatpedia:Listcruft]], [[Bharatpedia:Obscure topics]], [[Bharatpedia:Deny recognition]],...; are not valid reasons for speedy deletion.
# '''[[Bharatpedia:HOAX|Less-obvious hoaxes]]'''. If even remotely plausible, a suspected hoax article should be subjected to further scrutiny in a wider forum. Truth is often stranger than fiction. Note that "blatant and obvious hoaxes and misinformation" are subject to speedy deletion as [[Bharatpedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#G3|vandalism]].
# '''Original research'''. It is not always easy to tell whether an article consists of material that violates [[Bharatpedia:No original research|the policy against novel theories or interpretations]] or is simply unsourced.
# '''Notability'''. Articles that seem to have obviously non-notable subjects are eligible for speedy deletion only if the article does not give [[Bharatpedia:Credible claim of significance|a credible indication of why the subject might be important or significant]].
# '''Failure to assert importance but not an [[Bharatpedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#A7|A7]], [[Bharatpedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#A9|A9]] or [[Bharatpedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#A11|A11]] category'''. There is no consensus to speedily delete articles of types not specifically listed in A7, A9 or A11 under those criteria. Nor does it apply for [[Neologism|neologisms]] that do not meet [[Bharatpedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#A11|A11]] because new specialized terms should have a wider hearing.
# '''Author deletion requests made in bad faith'''. Author deletion requests made in bad faith, out of frustration, after others have contributed substantially (because the work of others is involved) or in an attempt to [[Bharatpedia:Revocation of our licensing is not permitted|revoke their freely-licensed contributions]] are not granted. However, anyone may request deletion of pages in their userspace.
# '''Very short articles'''. Short articles with sufficient content and context to qualify as [[Bharatpedia:STUB|stubs]] may not be speedily deleted under criteria [[Bharatpedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#A1|A1]] and [[Bharatpedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#A3|A3]]; other criteria may still apply.
# '''Copies that are not copyright violations'''. If content appears both here and somewhere else (possibly in modified form), consider the possibility that Bharatpedia's is the original version and the other site copied from us. Alternatively, the same author may have written both versions, or the original may be free content.
# '''PNG / GIF files replaced by JPEG images'''. JPEG encoding discards information that may be important later. Do not delete the original PNG / GIF files.
# '''Questionable material that is not vandalism'''. Earnest efforts are never vandalism, so to [[Bharatpedia:assume good faith|assume good faith]], do not delete as vandalism unless reasonably certain.
# '''User and user talk pages of IP addresses'''. Although users are encouraged to create Bharatpedia accounts, unregistered users are still allowed to edit Bharatpedia, and are identified by their IP addresses. If an unregistered user has a static IP address, it may have a user page and/or user talk page associated with it, and even for non-static IP addresses, the history can contain important discussions or information that may be of interest.
# '''A file that isn't a sound, video, or image file'''. To be deleted under [[Bharatpedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#F10|F10]], a file must have no potential usefulness and not be used in any articles. Files that are in use or might be put to an appropriate use, even if not sound, video, or image, should not be deleted without wider discussion.
# '''An article written in a foreign language or script'''. An article should not be speedily deleted just because it is not written in English. Instead it should be tagged with {{Tl|Not English}} and listed at [[Bharatpedia:Pages needing translation into English]]. It may be reconsidered after translation whether the article merits deletion, retention or improvement by means of a suitable tag.
# '''Subject request'''. Sometimes somebody claiming to be the subject of a biographical article requests deletion of the article, or even blanks the article. Article subjects do not have an automatic right to have their articles deleted. Nor does such a criterion apply to namespaces other than article space: for example, pages in the Bharatpedia namespace devoted to a discussion about a particular editor. See also: [[Bharatpedia:Deletion policy#Deletion of biographies and BLPs]]
# '''Orphaned pages or redirects'''. A page cannot be deleted just because no other pages link to it. This includes redirects – even if 'What links here' returns nothing, a redirect may be a likely search phrase, or have links to it from outside Bharatpedia.
# '''Redirects that are poorly targeted'''. A redirect should not be deleted just because its target is incorrect or confusing. Instead, change the redirect to a better target. If you're not sure where it should be targeted, open a discussion at [[BP:RFD|Redirects for discussion]].

{{Anchor|proc|PROC|pa|PA|pfa|PFA|admin|ADMIN}}{{Anchor|sysop|SYSOP|procedure|Procedure|PROCEDURE|administrator|Administrator|ADMINISTRATOR|administrators|Administrators}}{{Anchor|ADMINISTRATORS}}

== Procedure for administrators ==
Make sure to specify the reason for deletion in the deletion summary. Also, in general the article's creator and major contributors should have been notified.

Before deleting a page, check the [[Bharatpedia:Page history|page history]] to assess whether it would instead be possible to [[Help:Reverting|revert]] and salvage a previous version, or there was actually a [[Bharatpedia:How to fix cut and paste moves|cut-and-paste move]] involved. Also:
* The initial [[Help:Edit summary|edit summary]] may have information about the source of or reason for the page.
* The [[Help:Talk page|talk page]] may refer to previous deletion discussions or have ongoing discussion relevant to including the page.
* The [[Help:Log|page log]] may have information about previous deletions that could warrant [[Bharatpedia:SALT|SALT]]ing the page or keeping it on good reason.
* ''[[Special:WhatLinksHere|What links here]]'' may show that the page is an oft-referred part of the encyclopedia, or may show other similar pages that warrant deletion. For pages that should not be re-created, incoming links in other pages (except in discussions, archives and tracking pages) should be removed.

Bharatpedia:Username policy

2026-07-11T05:32:41Z

Bot: /* Real names */ clean up

{{short description|Bharatpedia policy about what kinds of usernames are acceptable}}
{{redirect2|BP:U|BP:UN|the guidelines on user pages|BP:UP|the United Nations WikiProject|BP:WPUN|the File Upload Wizard|BP:FUW|Userboxes|BP:Userboxes}}
{{policy|BP:U|BP:UN|BP:UPOL|BP:USERNAME}}
{{nutshell|When choosing an account name, do not choose names which may be offensive, misleading, disruptive, or promotional. The username should represent one person; do not use your organisation's name.}}
{{Warning|To report blatant violations of the username policy, visit [[Bharatpedia:Usernames for administrator attention]] (BP:UAA).}}
{{conduct policy list}}

This policy describes what kinds of '''usernames''' are acceptable on the English Bharatpedia and how unacceptable or doubtful usernames can be dealt with. It also specifies that a user account should be used only by one person, and that in most cases one person should use only one account.

You choose your username when creating a user account. All contributions made using that account will then be attributed to the chosen username (contributions made while not logged in to any account are attributed to the user's [[IP address]]). It is also possible to request a [[#Changing your username|change of username]], and have your past contributions re-attributed to the new name.

This policy applies to usernames on English Bharatpedia. However, in most cases you will be able to use the same username and password to log in to other language Bharatpedias and other [[Bharatpedia:Bharatmedia Foundation|Bharatmedia Foundation]] supported projects.

== Guidance for new users ==
{{UsernamePolicy}}{{shortcut|BP:NAMEGUIDE}}
Your username is a nickname that will identify your account and thereby all of your contributions to Bharatpedia. It can be your real name, if you so choose, but you should be aware of [[#Real names|the risks involved]] in editing under your real name. Bharatpedia usernames are [[case sensitivity|case sensitive]], but the first letter is always automatically capitalized. By default, your username appears in your signature on posts to [[Bharatpedia:Talk page guidelines|discussion pages]]; for details on signatures and how to customize them, see [[Bharatpedia:Signatures]].

Bear in mind that, once chosen, a username cannot be easily changed. If you choose "Dr. Manmohan Singh", then your doctorate will be evident on history pages and, unless you change your signature, on all posts to talk pages. If you prefer to be less formal, leave off the title. However, you should read the section on [[BP:Username policy#Real names|using your real name]] as your username.

You specify your username when [[Bharatpedia:Why create an account?|creating an account]], and subsequently use it (together with your secret password) to [[Help:Logging in|log in]] to that account. Once you have an account, you may create a [[BP:user pages|user page]], titled "User:XXXX" (where "XXXX" is your username), to provide relevant information about yourself to other Bharatpedians. You or any other editor may also create a [[Bharatpedia:Talk page guidelines#User talk pages|user talk page]], titled "User talk:XXXX", that people can use to contact you.

The software will not allow you to register with a username that is already in use, or one that appears too similar to one that is already in use. With a similar username, you may still be able to obtain it under certain circumstances: see {{slink||Similar usernames}} below.

Your username can be virtually any string of characters (subject to a few [[Bharatpedia:Naming conventions (technical restrictions)#Restrictions on usernames|technical limitations]]). However, it should be a name which other users will be comfortable with and which does not interfere with the project. A controversial name may give a bad impression to other users, and avoiding this is in your own interest. This page describes certain types of usernames that are specifically disallowed, primarily because they can be considered ''offensive'', ''misleading'', or ''promotional'', or imply that the account does ''not belong to an individual''.

== Inappropriate usernames ==
{{policy shortcut|BP:IU}}
This section lists the types of usernames that are considered inappropriate. The same criteria also apply to [[Bharatpedia:Signatures|signatures]].

These lists are not necessarily exhaustive. [[Bharatpedia:What "Ignore all rules" means#Use common sense|Use common sense]] in applying these rules (such as a word that may seem offensive in one context may have another, more benign meaning in another context). For guidance on how to deal with inappropriate names if encountered, see {{slink||Dealing with inappropriate usernames}} below.

=== Misleading usernames ===
{{Anchor|misleading}}
{{policy shortcut|BP:MISLEADNAME}}
The following types of username are not permitted because they may be '''misleading''' in a way that disrupts the project:
*Usernames that impersonate other people (see {{slink||Real names}} and {{slink||Similar usernames}} below).
*Usernames that give the impression that the account has [[BP:User access levels|permissions]] which it does not have; e.g. by containing the terms "[[Bharatpedia:Administrators|administrator]]", "[[Bharatpedia:Bureaucrats|bureaucrat]]", "[[m:Stewards|steward]]", "[[m:CheckUser policy|checkuser]]", "[[m:Hiding revisions|oversight]]", or similar terms, such as "admin", "sysop", or "moderator".
*Usernames that could be easily misunderstood to refer to a "bot" (which is used to identify [[Bharatpedia:Bot policy|bot accounts]]) or a "script" (which alludes to automated editing processes), unless the account is of that type.
*Usernames including phrases such as "bharatpedia", "bharatmedia", "(BMF)", or similar if they give the incorrect impression that the account may be officially affiliated with the [[Bharatmedia Foundation]] or one of its projects.
*Usernames that resemble IP addresses (as these are expected to designate non-logged-in users), timestamps or other names which would be confusing within the Bharatpedia [[Bharatpedia:Signatures|signature]] format.
*Usernames that appear similar to naming conventions used by community administrative processes, such as those starting with ''Vanished user'' (see [[Bharatpedia:Courtesy vanishing]]).

=== Disruptive or offensive usernames<span id="Offensive"></span><span id="OFFENSIVE"></span><span id="Disruptive"></span><span id="DISRUPTIVE"></span> ===
{{policy shortcut|BP:ATTACKNAME|BP:DISRUPTNAME}}
The following types of usernames are not permitted because they are '''disruptive''' or '''offensive''':
*Usernames that are likely to offend other contributors, making harmonious editing difficult or impossible; e.g. by containing profanities or referencing controversies.
*Usernames that contain or imply [[Bharatpedia:No personal attacks|personal attacks]].
*Usernames that seem intended to provoke emotional reaction ("[[Internet troll|trolling]]").
*Usernames that otherwise show [[Bharatpedia:Here to build an encyclopedia#Clearly not being here to build an encyclopedia|a clear intent to disrupt Bharatpedia]].

Note that usernames that are inappropriate in another language, or that represent an inappropriate name with misspellings and substitutions, or do so indirectly or by implication, are still considered inappropriate.
===={{Anchor|BLPABUSE}}Usernames violating the BLP policy====

{{see also|Bharatpedia:Biographies of living persons#Remove contentious material|Bharatpedia:Biographies of living persons#Usernames}}{{policy shortcut|BP:BLPABUSE}}
Certain disruptive and offensive usernames (such as those containing contentious material about living persons, or those that are clearly abusive towards any race, religion or social groups) should be immediately blocked by administrators and [[Bharatpedia:Oversight|suppressed from logs]] by Oversighters to protect Bharatpedia and the subjects involved from harm. Requests for removing attack usernames from logs should be reported to the [[BP:Stewards|global Stewards]] team for evaluation and private removal from all BMF projects.

=== Promotional names <span id="Company/group names"></span> ===
{{policy shortcut|BP:ORGNAME|BP:CORPNAME|BP:SPAMNAME|BP:PROMONAME}}
{{see also|:Category:Bharatpedians who are indefinitely blocked for promotional user names}}

The following types of usernames are not permitted because they are considered '''promotional''':
* Usernames that unambiguously represent the name of a company, group, institution or product (e.g. TownvilleWidgets, MyWidgetsUSA.com, TrammelMuseumofArt). However usernames that ''contain'' such names are sometimes permissible; see {{slink||Usernames implying shared use}} below. (Usernames which represent the subject of a biographical article are not considered promotional; see {{slink||Stage names}})
* [[Email address]]es and [[Uniform Resource Locator|URL]]s (such as "Alice@example.com" and "Example.com") that promote a commercial web page and don't simply identify a person. While plain domain names (''without'' <code>.com</code>, <code>.co.kr</code>, etc.) are sometimes acceptable, such as when the purpose is simply to identify the user as a person, they are inappropriate if they promote a commercial Web page. A webpage which generates income for the owner, through Patreon links, revenue-generating click-thru links to vendors, etc., should be considered a commercial Web page.

A user who both adopts a promotional username ''and'' also engages in [[Bharatpedia:What Bharatpedia is not#ADVERTISING|inappropriately promotional behaviors]] in articles about the company, group, or product, can be [[Bharatpedia:Blocking policy|blocked]]. In such cases, administrators should examine the user's edits to decide whether or not to allow them to create a new username. If there is evidence that the user would continue to edit inappropriately under a new username, the blocking administrator should enable the "[[BP:Autoblock|autoblock]]" and "prevent account creation" features. Otherwise, the user should be offered the opportunity to create a new account. (Before blocking, disagreements as to whether a particular username is acceptable should be discussed at [[Bharatpedia:Requests for comment/User names|BP:Requests for comment/Usernames]].) Users who adopt such usernames, but who are '''not''' editing problematically in related articles, should '''not''' be blocked. Instead, they should be gently encouraged to change their username.

=== Usernames implying shared use ===
{{policy shortcut|BP:ISU}}
{{See also|Bharatpedia:Sockpuppetry#Role accounts}}
Because Bharatpedia's policy is that usernames should not be [[#Shared accounts|shared]] between more than one individual, the following types of usernames are not permitted because they imply '''shared use''':
*Usernames that are simply names of companies or groups are not permitted (these also fall under {{slink||Promotional names}} above).
*Personal usernames that imply shared access, such as "Jack and Jill", are not permitted.
*Usernames that are names of posts within organizations, such as "Secretary of the XY Foundation", are not permitted, as such a post may be held by different persons at different times.
*However, usernames are acceptable if they contain a company or group name but are clearly intended to denote an individual person, such as "Mark at WidgetsUSA", "Jack Smith at the XY Foundation", "WidgetFan87", etc.

Remember that [[Bharatpedia:What Bharatpedia is not#ADVERTISING|promotional]] editing is not permitted regardless of username. The [[Bharatpedia:Conflict of interest|conflict of interest guideline]] advises all users to exercise caution if editing articles about businesses, organizations, products, or other subjects that they are closely connected to. If you choose to edit articles that are in any way related to your company or group, you will need to carefully follow Bharatpedia's [[Bharatpedia:Conflict of interest#Advice for editors who may have a conflict of interest|advice on editing with a conflict of interest]].

=== Confusing usernames ===
{{policy shortcut|BP:UNCONF}}
Some usernames appear problematic without fitting clearly into any of the above categories. This is often the case with confusing or extremely lengthy usernames, which are highly discouraged but which are not so inappropriate '''on their own''' as to require action.

Confusing usernames can often be a red flag for other problems. An editor with a confusing username or signature may be blocked sooner than usual for other inappropriate behaviour such as disruption or vandalism, if their confusing username contributes to the disruption.

=== Non-script usernames ===
{{policy shortcut|BP:NOEMOJI|BP:NONSCRIPT}}
Due to the difficulty with some web browsers in viewing non-language unicode characters and emoji, as well as concerns regarding the suitability of these characters as names, users registering after 6 November 2017 are not allowed to have the following usernames:
* Usernames containing [[emoji]]
* Usernames that are considered to be [[emoticon]]s or otherwise "decorative" usernames
* Usernames that use any non-language symbols. This includes:
**Symbols and characters unrelated to the [[list of writing systems]]
**Symbols and characters that are on the block lists at [[Unicode symbols]]

Users with such names should be offered the opportunity for renaming their account or creating a new one (see [[#Dealing with inappropriate usernames]] below). Before blocking, disagreements as to whether a particular username is acceptable should be discussed at [[BP:Requests for comment/User names]].

Note that this restriction does '''not''' apply to signatures, which are governed by [[Bharatpedia:Signatures]].

=== Exceptions ===
Some usernames that appear to be in breach of this policy have been allowed to stand by consensus because they were created before a change in the policy that would now prohibit such names ''(see [[grandfather clause]])''. If you find an apparently problematic username being used by a long-standing editor, it is likely that the matter has been discussed before. Please search that user's talk page (and archives if applicable), ''and'' the archives of the [[Bharatpedia:Administrators' noticeboard|administrators' noticeboards]] and [[Bharatpedia:Requests for comment/User names|requests for comment on usernames]], before deciding to take action as described [[#Dealing with inappropriate usernames|below]].

== Dealing with inappropriate usernames ==
{{policy shortcut|BP:BADNAME}}
If you encounter an inappropriate username as described [[#Inappropriate usernames|above]], there are various actions you might take. [[Bharatpedia:What "Ignore all rules" means#Use common sense|Use common sense]] in making your choice, and avoid [[Bharatpedia:Please do not bite the newcomers|"biting" newcomers]].

=== Consider leaving well enough alone ===
If the name is not unambiguously problematic, it may be sensible to ignore it. [[Bharatpedia:Assume good faith|Assume good faith]], and also note the [[#Exceptions|exceptions]] in the section on inappropriate usernames. Also, except in extreme cases, it is probably not worth taking action unless the user has made at least one ''recent'' edit.

=== Talk to the user ===
If you see a username that is problematic but was not obviously created in bad faith, politely draw the user's attention to this policy, and try to encourage them to create a new account with a different username. If you want, you can use the {{tls|uw-username}}, {{tls|uw-uall}} or {{tls|uw-coi-username}} template for this.

=== Request for comment ===
If, following an attempt to discuss a problematic username with the user, there is still doubt or disagreement as to whether the name is appropriate, you may open a [[BP:RFC/N|Request for comment on the username]], inviting other users to discuss the issue.

=== Report blatant violations ===
If you think a username needs to be immediately blocked and is an obvious case, report it to [[Bharatpedia:Usernames for administrator attention|Usernames for administrator attention]]. Note that this should only be used for violations which you think clearly merit immediate blocks, without warning.

Do not both warn a user or discuss the matter with a user and at nearly the same time report at [[BP:UAA|Usernames for administrator attention]], as a warning or discussion is an invitation to the user to change names or otherwise fix the issue, while the report invites a block which would prevent this.

===Report other problems===
If the user with a bad username is breaching other policies, such as those against [[BP:SPAM|spam]] or [[BP:VAND|vandalism]], follow up using those policies rather than reporting the username. If the user is editing in a biased or promotional way on a subject they appear to have a connection with, report them at the [[BP:COIN|Conflict of Interest noticeboard]].

=== Usernames for administrator attention guidelines ===
[[Bharatpedia:Usernames for administrator attention |Usernames for administrator attention]] (UAA) is a noticeboard for drawing attention to abusive usernames quickly. See [[Bharatpedia:Usernames for administrator attention/Instructions]] for information on how to place or resolve UAA reports, including the options that are available to administrators.

Remember that blocking a new user is not actually something we ''want'' to do, it is something we do when it is needed to protect Bharatpedia from harm. Generally, editors whose usernames are a technical or borderline violation of the Username policy should be given an opportunity to discuss the username and how they may register a new username. However, users who are reluctant to register a new username and are otherwise showing a positive history of contributions to Bharatpedia should be allowed to continue editing in a positive fashion and the matter should be dropped. But this exemption does not apply to editors who have a clearly offensive username, disruptive or vandalizing edits, or edits that show a history of problematic bias or conflict of interest.

== Other particular types of username ==
=== Real names ===
{{Redirect|BP:IMPERSONATE|impersonation regarding signatures|BP:Signature forgery}}
{{policy shortcut|BP:REALNAME|BP:IMPERSONATE}}
Consider carefully before creating an account in your real name or a nickname which might be traced to you, as these increase the potential for [[Bharatpedia:Harassment|harassment]], especially if you edit in controversial subject areas. While it is possible to rename your account later (see [[#Changing your username|Changing your username]] below), a record of your previous username remains permanently.

Do not edit under a name that is likely to imply that you are (or are related to) a specific, identifiable person, unless it is your real name. If you have the same name as a well-known person to whom you are unrelated, and are using your real name, you should state clearly on your [[BP:userpage|userpage]] that you are unrelated to the well-known person.

If a name is used that implies that the user is (or is related to) a specific, identifiable person, the account may sometimes be [[Bharatpedia:Blocking policy|blocked]] as a precaution against damaging impersonation, until proof of identity is provided.

If you have been blocked for using your real name, please do not take offense; we are trying to prevent somebody from impersonating you (or impersonating someone you share a name with). You are welcome to use your real name, but in some cases, you will need to prove that you are who you say you are. You can do this by sending an email to [mailto:info@bharatpedia.org info@bharatpedia.org]. Be aware that emails are handled by a [[Bharatpedia:Volunteer Response Team|volunteer response team]] and that it may take a while before you receive a reply. Don't send them your scans of your [[passport]] or [[driver's license]] out of the blue (you should be extremely careful with that), contact them to find out the best way to prove your identity. The best way will vary, but could be by using a mail address on a [[domain name]] that belongs to you or sending out a [[Twitter|Tweet]] using a verified account.

===Stage names===
Users may use their [[stage name]], [[pen name]], or other nickname as their username, provided that it uniquely identifies a single person. This is not considered promotional, even if commercial performances or publications are made under such a name, unless the user makes promotional edits ''within Bharatpedia'' about themselves, their projects, etc. However, a user may not use '''someone else's''' stage name as a username, as per the {{slink||Real names}} section of this page.

=== Usernames with non-Latin characters ===
{{anchor|Non-Latin}}{{anchor|NL}}
{{policy shortcut|BP:NONLATIN|BP:LATINPLEASE}}
{{see also|Bharatpedia:Signatures#Non-Latin}}

There is no requirement that usernames be in English. Furthermore, contributors are welcome to use usernames that are not spelled using the [[Latin alphabet]], but should bear in mind that other scripts are illegible to most contributors to the English Bharatpedia, and sometimes the characters may not appear correctly. To avoid confusion and aid navigation, users with such usernames are encouraged to use Latin characters in their signature. Western-style numerals (0123456789) are also acceptable.

For technical reasons, usernames containing the [[Bharatpedia:Naming conventions (technical restrictions)#Restrictions on usernames|forbidden characters]] <code># < > [ ] | { } / @ :</code> are not possible.

=== Similar usernames ===
{{policy shortcut|BP:IMPERSONATOR|BP:SIMILARNAME}}
Usernames that are very similar to existing ones cannot be registered normally{{snd}}but if you do want to use one, you may request its creation at [[Bharatpedia:Request an account]]. Usernames that are similar only to unused or inactive accounts should not be a problem. One should not choose a username that implies a relationship with an existing editor (unless the account is actually owned or the relationship is acknowledged by the editor themselves).

If your username is similar to that of another contributor or an article, you may wish to provide some form of [[Bharatpedia:Disambiguation|disambiguation]], such as by adding {{tl|distinguish}} to the top of your [[Bharatpedia:User pages|user page]].

=== Commonly misspelled usernames ===
If your username is commonly misspelled, consider helping people by adding [[Bharatpedia:Redirect|redirects]] to your actual user page and talk page from the misspelled titles. You may wish to consider registering the misspelled username as a [[Bharatpedia:Sockpuppetry#Legitimate uses|doppelgänger account]] to prevent it from being registered by someone else. The software prevents registration of certain names that are found to be too similar to existing ones; if you cannot register your doppelgänger username for this reason, you should visit [[Bharatpedia:Request an account]].

== Shared accounts ==
{{Anchor|Sharing accounts}}
{{See also|Bharatpedia:Sockpuppetry#Role accounts}}
{{policy shortcut|BP:NOSHARING|BP:SHAREDACCOUNT}}
Any user account should represent an individual and not a group (and an individual should normally only have one user account; see next section). Sharing an account – or the password to an account – with others is not permitted, and evidence of doing so will result in the user being required to stop the practice and change their password, or in sanctions (up to and including the account being blocked), depending on circumstances. For accounts being used to represent a group or organization, see {{slink||Promotional names}} and {{slink||Usernames implying shared use}} above.

Exceptions to this rule can be made for ''non-editing'' accounts approved to provide email access, accounts approved by the [[foundation:|Bharatmedia Foundation]] (see [[BP:Sockpuppetry#List of role accounts|list]]), and [[Bharatpedia:Bot policy|bot accounts]] that are maintained by more than one contributor, provided the existence of such an arrangement is made clear and has consensus.

== Using multiple accounts ==
{{policy shortcut|BP:MULTIPLE|BP:MULTIACCOUNT}}
{{main|Bharatpedia:Sockpuppetry#Legitimate uses}}
It is recommended that contributors not use multiple accounts without good reason. For example, a user may wish to create an alternate account for use on public computers as a precaution to keep their primary account more secure. Contributors operating any sort of automated editing process should do so under an alternative [[Bharatpedia:Bot policy|bot account]]. It is recommended that multiple accounts be identified as such on their [[Bharatpedia:User pages|user page]]s; [[Bharatpedia:Template messages|templates]] such as {{tl|User alternative account}} or [[Bharatpedia:Userboxes/Bharatpedia/Related accounts|one of a selection of user boxes]] may be used for this purpose.

The use of multiple accounts outside of established policy for doing so is known as [[Bharatpedia:Sockpuppetry|sockpuppetry]], and is not permitted. For example, multiple accounts may not be used to comment on proposals or requests, cast votes, or engage in [[Bharatpedia:Edit warring|edit warring]]. Because policies apply to individuals, not accounts, [[Bharatpedia:Blocking policy|blocked]] or [[Bharatpedia:Banning policy|banned]] users must not use sock puppets to circumvent a block; doing so will result in an extension of the block or ban.

== Changing your username ==
{{policy shortcut|BP:UNC}}
Usernames can be changed by; requests should be made at [[Bharatpedia:Changing username]]. User accounts with few or no edits might not be renamed, as it is quicker and easier to simply {{signup|create a new account}}.

Once a username has been changed, existing contributions will be listed under the new name in [[Help:Page history|page histories]], [[Help:Diff|diffs]], [[Special:Log|logs]], and [[Special:Contributions|user contributions]]. Signatures on discussion pages will continue to use the old name; while these can be changed manually, it is not recommended unless a contributor wishes to remove as much information as possible about their former name for privacy reasons. In such situations the old name will still be available in old versions of discussion pages. Username changes are listed in the [[Special:Log/renameuser|user rename log]].

=== {{anchor|Deleting an account}}Deleting and merging accounts ===
It is not possible to delete user accounts, as all contributions must be assigned to some identifier; either a username or an [[IP address]].<ref>See [[phab:T34815|bug T34815]]</ref> Editors seeking privacy per [[BP:Courtesy vanishing|courtesy vanishing]] / right to vanish can usually have their accounts renamed and their user pages (and in exceptional cases user talk pages) [[Bharatpedia:User pages#Deleting others' user pages|deleted]].

It is not currently possible to merge user accounts on the English Bharatpedia.

Bharatpedia:User access levels

2026-07-11T05:32:38Z

Bot: /* IP block exemption */ clean up

The '''user access level''' of editors affects their abilities to perform specific actions on Bharatpedia. The user access level depends on which rights (also called permissions, [[Internet forum#User groups|user groups]], [[bit (computing)|bits]], or [[flag (computing)|flags]]) are assigned to accounts. There are two types of access leveling: automatic, and requested. User access levels are determined by whether the Bharatpedian is logged in, the account's age and edits, and what manually assigned rights the account has.

Anyone can use the basic functionalities of Bharatpedia even if they are not logged in. Unless they are [[BP:BLOCK|blocked]], they may freely edit most pages. Being logged in gives users many advantages, such as having their public [[IP address]] hidden and the ability to track one's own contributions. Additionally, once user accounts are more than a certain number of days old and have made more than a certain number of edits, they automatically become autoconfirmed or extended confirmed, allowing the direct creation of articles, the ability to move pages, to edit semi-protected and extended-protected pages, and upload files. Further access levels need to be assigned manually by a user with the appropriate authority. An editor with more experience and good standing can attempt to become an [[BP:SYSOP|administrator]], which provides a large number of advanced permissions. Many other flags for specialized tasks are also available.

== Overview ==
All visitors to the site, including unregistered users, are part of the {{mono|'[[#Unregistered users|*]]'}} group, and all logged-in registered users are also part of the {{mono|'[[#New users|user]]'}} group. Users are automatically promoted into the [[#Autoconfirmed users|autoconfirmed/confirmed users]] pseudo-group of established users when their account is more than five days old and has twenty edits, and the {{mono|[[#Extended confirmed users|'extended confirmed']]}} user group later on.

Other flags are only given upon request; some, such as {{mono|'[[#Rollback|rollbacker]]'}}, {{mono|'[[#Pending changes reviewer|pending changes reviewer]]'}}, or {{mono|'[[#Bot|bot]]'}}, are granted unilaterally if the user demonstrates a need for them (see [[Bharatpedia:Requests for permissions]] and [[Bharatpedia:Bots/Requests for approval]]). Others, such as {{mono|'[[#Administrator|sysop]]'}} and {{mono|'[[#Bureaucrat|bureaucrat]]'}}, are given only after community discussion and consensus at [[Bharatpedia:Requests for adminship]]. Users are made members of such groups as {{mono|'[[#Oversight|oversight]]'}} and {{mono|'[[#Checkuser|checkuser]]'}} only with the approval of the [[Bharatpedia:Arbitration Committee|Arbitration Committee]].

User groups have one or more rights assigned to them; for example, the ipblock-exempt (IP block exemptions) group have the '{{mono|ipblock-exempt}}' and '{{mono|torunblocked}}' rights. All members of a particular user group will have access to these rights. The individual rights that are assigned to user groups are listed at [[Special:ListGroupRights]]. Terms like ''rights'', ''permissions'', ''bits'' and ''flags'' can refer to both user groups and the individual rights assigned to them.

== User groups ==
The system-generated technical permissions are listed at [[Special:ListGroupRights]].

{{Anchors|Unregistered users|Unregistered|*}}

==== Unregistered (IP or not logged in) users ====
Users who are not [[Special:UserLogin|logged in]] are identified by their [[IP address]] rather than a [[User (computing)|user name]], whether or not they have already [[Special:UserLogin/signup|registered an account]]. They may read all Bharatpedia pages (except restricted [[Help:Special page|special pages]]), and edit pages that are not protected (including pending changes protected/move-protected articles). They may create talk pages in any talk namespace but need to ask for help to create pages in some parts of the wiki. They cannot upload files or images. They must answer a CAPTCHA if they wish to make an edit which involves the addition of external links, and click a confirm link to purge pages.

Edit screens of unregistered users are headed by a banner that reads:

:{{MediaWiki:Anoneditwarning}}

{{-}}
{{Anchors|New users|New|user}}

==== Registered (new) users ====
Registered users may immediately e-mail other users if they activate an email address in their [[Special:Preferences|user preferences]]. All logged-in users may mark edits as minor. They may purge pages without a confirmation step, but are still required to answer a CAPTCHA when adding external links. Edits that they make to a page that is under pending changes protection immediately go live, unless other pending changes need to be reviewed. They may save books to their userspace but not the Books namespace.

{{Anchors|Autoconfirmed users|Autoconfirmed|autoconfirmed|confirmed|Confirmed|Confirmed users}}

==== Autoconfirmed and confirmed users ====
Several actions on [[Bharatpedia]] are restricted to user accounts that are at least 5 days old and have made at least 20 edits to the encyclopedia. Users who meet these requirements are considered part of the pseudo-group {{mono|'autoconfirmed'}}. The conditions for autoconfirmed status are checked every time a user attempts to perform a restricted action; if they are met, permission is granted automatically by the MediaWiki software. Although the precise requirements for autoconfirmed status vary according to circumstances, most Bharatpedia user accounts that are more than five days old ''and'' have made at least 20 edits (including deleted edits) are considered autoconfirmed. However, users with the IP block exemption flag and who are editing through the Tor network are subjected to much stricter autoconfirmed thresholds: 90 days and 100 edits.

Autoconfirmed or confirmed users can [[Bharatpedia:Your first article|create articles]] (except for create-protected pages), edit [[Bharatpedia:Protection policy|semi-protected pages]], and [[Bharatpedia:Upload|upload files]] (including new versions of existing files, except for upload-protected files). Autoconfirmed users are no longer required to enter a [[CAPTCHA]] for most edits, including, but not limited to, adding external links. They also may save books to the Books namespace. In addition, the Edit filter has a number of warning settings that will no longer affect editors who are autoconfirmed.

==== <span id="Extendedconfirmed"></span>Extended confirmed users ====
A registered editor becomes {{mono|'extendedconfirmed'}} automatically when the account is both at least 30 days old ''and'' has made at least 500 edits (including deleted edits). This user access right allows editors to edit pages that are under extended confirmed protection. This access is included and bundled in the {{mono|'bot'}} and {{mono|'sysop'}} (''administrator'') user groups. This group was primarily created to deal with specific arbitration remedies and community issues; the arbitration committee has since left community-use decisions up to the community.

=== Administrators and bureaucrats ===
{{anchors|Administrator|Admin|Sysop|sysop|admin}}
Administrators and bureaucrats are requested from pages other than [[Bharatpedia:Requests for permissions]].
==== Administrators ====
Administrators, also commonly referred to as "admins" or "[[sysop]]s" ('''sys'''tem '''op'''erator'''s'''), are editors who are granted the rights by the community following a Request for Adminship (RfA). The RfA process involves in-depth and considerable discussion and examination of the candidate's activity and contributions as an editor and are granted the rights by the community consensus. Administrators have exclusive access to a number of tools to allow them to carry out certain functions on the wiki. The tools cover processes such as page deletion, page protection, blocking and unblocking users, and the ability to edit fully protected pages. Administrators also have the ability to grant and remove most access rights to other users (account creator, autopatrolled, confirmed, file mover, edit filter helper, edit filter manager, event coordinator, extended confirmed, IP block exempt, mass message sender, new page reviewer, page mover, pending changes reviewer, rollback, template editor, and AutoWikiBrowser) and to their own alternate accounts. By convention, administrators also normally take responsibility for judging the outcome of certain discussions requiring these technical controls (such as deletions). Administrators are not granted more editorial control over article content than other editors. They are required to follow all policies and guidelines and are held to the same level of accountability as non-administrators.

==== Bureaucrats ====
Bureaucrats are exceptionally trusted editors who have the capability to perform certain actions on other users' accounts. These capabilities are granted by the community following a successful [[BP:RfB|Requests for Bureaucratship (RfB)]].

Bureaucrats have access to [[Special:UserRights]], enabling them to add users to the {{mono|'bureaucrat'}} group (but not remove them), and add users to and remove users from the {{mono|'administrator'}}, {{mono|'[[#Bots|bot]]'}}, and {{mono|'[[#Interface administrators|interface administrator]]'}} user groups.

See [[Special:ListUsers/bureaucrat]] for a list of the {{NUMINGROUP:bureaucrat}} bureaucrats.

=== Flags granted to users giving access to specialized functions ===
Unless otherwise noted, see [[Bharatpedia:Requests for permissions]] to request the following rights. Some of these rights are automatically assigned to administrators.

==== Pending changes reviewer ====
{{anchor|Reviewer}}
Members of this group can review other users' edits to articles placed under [[BP:Protection policy#Pending changes protection|pending changes protection]]. This right is automatically assigned to administrators. Prior to September 2014, this right was known as {{mono|'reviewer'}}.

See [[Special:ListUsers/reviewer]] for a list of the {{NUMINGROUP:reviewer|R}} reviewers.

{{anchors|rollbacker}}

==== Rollback ====
Users who are given the rollback flag ({{mono|'rollbacker'}} user group) may [[Help:Reverting|revert]] consecutive revisions of an editor using the [[Bharatpedia:Rollback feature|rollback]] feature. This right is automatically assigned to administrators.

See [[Special:ListUsers/rollbacker]] for a list of the {{NUMINGROUP:rollbacker|R}} rollbackers.

{{anchors|autoreview}}

==== Autopatrolled ====
{{anchor|Autoreviewer}}
Members of this group have <samp>'autopatrol'</samp>, which allows them to have their pages automatically patrolled on the [[Special:NewPages|New Pages list]]. This right is automatically assigned to administrators.

{{anchors|patroller|New page reviewer}}

====New page reviewer (patroller)====
Members of this group have <samp>'patrol'</samp>, which allows them to mark pages created by others as [[mw:Help:Patrolled edits|patrolled]] or [[Bharatpedia:Page Curation|reviewed]]. This right is automatically assigned to administrators.

See [[Special:ListUsers/patroller]] for a list of the {{NUMINGROUP:patroller|R}} new page reviewers.

{{anchors|File Mover|filemover|file mover}}

==== File mover ====
The file mover user right is intended to allow users experienced in working with files to rename them, subject to policy, with the ease that autoconfirmed users already enjoy when renaming Bharatpedia articles. This right is automatically assigned to administrators.

See [[Special:ListUsers/filemover]] for a list of the {{NUMINGROUP:filemover}} additional filemovers.

{{anchors|page mover|pagemover|extendedmover}}
==== Page mover ====
The page mover user right ({{mono|'extendedmover'}} user group) is intended to allow users who have demonstrated a good understanding of Bharatpedia page naming system to rename pages and subpages without leaving redirects, subject to policy. They are also able to create and edit [[BP:editnotice|editnotices]] as well as move categories. This right is automatically assigned to administrators.

See [[Special:ListUsers/extendedmover]] for a list of the {{NUMINGROUP:extendedmover}} page movers.

{{anchors|accountcreator|account creator}}

==== Account creator ====
The account creator user right ({{mono|'accountcreator'}} user group) is intended for users involved in the [[Bharatpedia:Request an account|request an account process]] (ACC). They are not affected by the 6 account creation limit per day per IP, and can create accounts for other users without restriction. Users in this group can also override the anti-spoof checks on account creation. Additionally, account creators are able to create accounts with names that are otherwise blocked by the [[MediaWiki:Titleblacklist|title blacklist]]. This right is automatically assigned to administrators and bureaucrats.

See [[Special:ListUsers/accountcreator]] for a list of the {{NUMINGROUP:accountcreator}} account creators.

==== Event coordinator<span id="Eventcoordinator"></span> ====
The eventcoordinator flag ({{mono|'eventcoordinator'}} user group) is intended for individuals involved with off-wiki outreach events to create accounts for their attendees. Event coordinators are not affected by the 6 account creation limit per day per IP. In addition, they can allow their event attendees to create new articles by temporarily adding newly created accounts to <samp>[[#Autoconfirmed and confirmed users|confirmed]]</samp> user group.

See [[Special:ListUsers/eventcoordinator]] for a list of the {{NUMINGROUP:eventcoordinator}} event coordinators.

{{anchors|template editor|templateeditor}}

==== Template editor ====
Users who are given the templateeditor flag ({{mono|'templateeditor'}} user group) are allowed to edit pages protected with [[Bharatpedia:Protection policy#template|template protection]], as well as create and edit [[Bharatpedia:editnotice|editnotices]]. Template protection is only applied to pages in the [[Bharatpedia:Template namespace|template]] and [[Bharatpedia:Lua|module]] namespaces, as well as a few pages in Bharatpedia namespace. This right is intended to allow experienced template and module coders to make changes without having to request that an administrator make the edits for them. This right is automatically assigned to administrators.

See [[Special:ListUsers/templateeditor]] for a list of the {{NUMINGROUP:templateeditor}} template editors.

{{anchors|ipblock-exempt}}

==== IP block exemption ====
Users who are given the ipblock-exempt flag ({{mono|'ipblock-exempt'}} user group) are not affected by [[BP:AUTOBLOCK|autoblocks]], blocks of IP addresses and ranges that are made with the "Prevent logged-in users from editing" option enabled, and by [[Tor (anonymity network)#Tor exit node block|Tor blocks]].

The flag is intended for trusted users in good standing who are unfortunately affected by such blocks. Requests for this permission may be included with your [[Bharatpedia:Appealing a block|unblock request]]. If you are affected by an IP address range block, you must send your unblock request using the [[Bharatpedia:Unblock Ticket Request System|Unblock Ticket Request System]]. If you are trying to edit through a blocked anonymous proxy or a VPN service, you must instead send your request to info@bharatpedia.org, or contact a [[#CheckUser|CheckUser]] directly.

This right is automatically assigned to administrators and bots. If known, an administrator is also free to grant the right to affected good-faith editors without waiting for an unblock request.

See [[Special:ListUsers/ipblock-exempt]] for a list of the {{NUMINGROUP:ipblock-exempt}} affected users.

{{anchors|editfilter}}

==== Edit filter managers ====
Members of the edit filter manager group can create, modify, enable, disable, and delete [[Special:AbuseFilter|edit filters]] as well as view private filters and their associated logs. This right is not assigned to administrators by default but they are allowed to grant the user right to themselves. These capabilities can also be granted to non-admins following a successful request at [[Bharatpedia:Edit filter noticeboard]].

See [[Special:ListUsers/abusefilter]] for a list of the {{NUMINGROUP:abusefilter}} edit filter managers. All users can check their {{special|AbuseLog|wpSearchUser|Example|log entries}} on the [[Special:AbuseFilter]] pages.

====Edit filter helpers====
Members of the edit filter helper group can view private [[Special:AbuseFilter|edit filters]] and their associated logs. This access is also included in the administrator groups. These capabilities can also be granted to non-admins following a successful request at [[Bharatpedia:Edit filter noticeboard]].

See [[Special:ListUsers/abusefilter-helper]] for a list of the {{NUMINGROUP:abusefilter-helper}} edit filter helpers. All users can check their {{special|AbuseLog|wpSearchUser|Example|log entries}} on the [[Special:AbuseFilter]] pages.

==== Mass message sender ====
Members of this group may send messages to multiple users at once. This right is automatically assigned to administrators.

See [[Special:ListUsers/massmessage-sender]] for a list of the {{NUMINGROUP:massmessage-sender}} mass message senders.

====Interface administrators====
Users who are given the interface administrator flag ({{mono|'interface-admin'}} user group) have the ability to edit site-wide [[CSS]], [[JavaScript]] and [[JSON]] pages (pages such as [[MediaWiki:Common.js]] or [[MediaWiki:Vector.css]], or the gadget pages listed on [[Special:Gadgets]]), CSS/JS/JSON pages in another user's userspace, and pages in the Mediawiki namespace. Interface administrator access, along with access to another group that has <code>undelete</code> access is required to view deleted versions of pages only editable by this group. Because it provides the potential to send malicious CSS/JS/JSON code to execute in other users' browsers, this right may only be granted to existing administrators, with [[Help:Two-factor authentication|two-factor authentication]] enabled on their accounts. These capabilities can be granted following a successful request at [[Bharatpedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard]].

See [[Special:ListUsers/interface-admin]] for a list of the {{NUMINGROUP:interface-admin}} Interface administrators.

=== Functionary user levels ===
{{anchors|checkuser}}

==== CheckUser ====
Users who are given the CheckUser flag ({{mono|'checkuser'}} user group) have access to [[Special:CheckUser]], a [[BP:SPEC|function page]] that allows them to view a list of all [[IP address]]es used by a user account to edit Bharatpedia, an extended list of ''all edits'' made from an IP (which includes edits that were made by any user accounts while using the specific IP), or a list of all user accounts that have used a given IP address. They also have access to the Checkuser log, which logs each time a Checkuser uses their tools to view any of the information listed. This user right is only granted to ''exceedingly few users'' and after a high level of scrutiny and review by the community, and after review and the support of the [[BP:ARB|Arbitration Committee]]. Users must also be at least 18 years old and have signed [[Bharatpedia:Access to nonpublic information|our confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information]]. As CheckUsers have access to deleted revisions, they are also required to have passed an "RFA or RFA-identical process" first.<ref name="wmf"/>

See [[Special:ListUsers/checkuser]] for a list of the {{NUMINGROUP:checkuser}} CheckUsers.

{{anchors|oversight}}

==== Oversight ====
Users who are given the oversight flag ({{mono|'oversight'}} user group) have access to additional functions on the page deletion, revision deletion, and block [[Help:Special page|function pages]] through which they can hide logs or revisions of pages (partially or entirely) from any form of usual access by all other users, including [[BP:ADMIN|administrators]]. They also have access to the [[Special:Log/suppress|suppression log]], where they can view actions made by other oversighters, as well as the content of the hidden revisions. This user right is only granted to ''exceedingly few users'' and after a high level of scrutiny and review by the community, and after review and the support of [[BP:ARB|Arbitration Committee]]. Users must also be at least 18 years old and have signed the confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information. Oversighters are also required to have passed a "RfA or RfA-identical process" first.
See [[Special:ListUsers/oversight]] for a list of the {{NUMINGROUP:oversight}} Oversighters.

=== Other flagged accounts ===
{{anchors|bot}}

==== Bots ====
Accounts used by approved [[BP:BOT|bots]] to make pre-approved edits can be flagged as such. Bot accounts are automated or semi-automated, the nature of their edits is well defined, and they will be quickly blocked if their actions vary from their given tasks, so they require less scrutiny than human edits.

For this reason, contributions from accounts with the bot flag ({{mono|'[[Bharatpedia:Bots|bot]]'}} user group) are not displayed in [[Bharatpedia:Recent Changes|recent changes]] or [[Help:Watching pages|watchlists]] to users who have opted to hide bot edits. Minor edits made by bot accounts to user talk pages do not trigger the [[Help:Using talk pages#You have new messages|"you have new messages"]] banner.

See [[Special:ListUsers/bot]] for a list of the {{NUMINGROUP:bot}} bots.

==== Copyright violation bots ====
A {{mono|'copyviobot'}} is an approved bot that is given the {{mono|(pagetriage-copyvio)}} permission, allowing it to use the API to tag pages listed on [[Special:NewPagesFeed]] as likely [[Bharatpedia:Copyright violations|copyright violations]].

{{anchors|founder}}

== Blocked users ==

Any user account can be blocked, regardless of which user group(s) it belongs to. During the duration of the block, the blocking flag disables the user or IP's existing editing privileges depending on which [[BP:OPTIONS|block options]] are set by the administrator. A [[Bharatpedia:Partial blocks|partial block]] still allows some parts of Bharatpedia to be edited.

Blocked users are listed on [[Special:BlockList]].

=== Indefinitely blocked users ===
In general, rights of editors [[BP:INDEF|blocked indefinitely]] should be left as is. Rights specifically related to the reason for blocking may be removed at the discretion of the blocking or unblocking administrators. This also applies to the user rights of [[BP:SBAN|site banned]] editors.
{{anchors|steward}}

==== Stewards ====
Users who are members of the {{mono|'steward'}} user group may grant and revoke any permission to or from any user on any wiki operated by Bharatpedia which allows open account creation. Stewards generally act only when there is no user on a particular wiki that can make the necessary change. This includes granting of the {{mono|'administrator'}} or {{mono|'bureaucrat'}} access levels on wikis which do not have any local bureaucrats, and removing such flags if the user resigns or the account is acting maliciously. Stewards are also responsible for granting and revoking access levels such as {{mono|'oversight'}} and {{mono|'checkuser'}}, as no other group is capable of making such changes except.

Stewards can also act as [[#CheckUser|checkusers]], [[#Oversight|oversighters]], [[#Bureaucrat|bureaucrats]] or [[#Administrator|administrators]] on wikis which do not have active local members of those groups. For example, if a wiki has a passing need for an edit to be oversighted, a steward can add themselves to the {{mono|'oversight'}} user group on that wiki, perform the necessary function, and then remove themselves from the {{mono|'oversight'}} group using their steward rights.

Most steward actions are logged at [[meta:Special:Log/rights]] or [[meta:Special:Log/gblrights]] (some go to [[meta:Stewards/Additional log for global changes]]). See [[Special:GlobalUsers/steward]] or [[meta:Special:ListUsers/steward]] for a list of users in this group.

== Table ==
* Generally, bureaucrats on Bharatpedia are also administrators, and so have all the permissions of the {{mono|'sysop'}} user group in addition to those rights from the {{mono|'bureaucrat'}} group.
* Deprecated permissions are either no longer assigned to any group or the group to which they are assigned is no longer populated.
<div style="overflow:auto;">
{{User access levels}}
</div>
* The userright ''proxyunbannable'' is assigned to administrators. Administrators are not exempt from tor blocks, only users in the IP block exemptions usergroup are, due to the ''torunblocked'' userright.
* IPs and new users are limited to 8 edits per minute. Autoconfirmed or confirmed users who are in no usergroup with the ''noratelimit'' userright are limited to 8 moves per minute. Rollbackers in the same situation are limited to 100 rollbacks per minute. Account creations are subject to an IP based limit, [[mw:Manual:$wgAccountCreationThrottle|set at 6]] for WMF wikis, but users with ''noratelimit'' are unaffected.

==A curious query==
Hello Wiki Dwarf! I am an old user in English Wikipedia. When I tried to log in here with the same account and password, it failed. Btw, my queries are: 1) Is this wikipedia a part of Wikimedia sister projects? 2) Sometimes, I found some articles, though not original of here (I mean they seems to be imported from the simple English wikipedia), does this mean that all the articles are imported? 3) Can I create my user account here and at the same time, can I create original articles here? Though articles with similar names exist in the en wikipedia?

:{{re|47.29.19.238}} Hello there, Bharatpedia is an independent platform (please see [[Bharatpedia:General disclaimer]]) so you won't be able to login using your Wikipedia account details, but you may create a new account under the same username. Account creation is not required in order to read or edit this site, but if you wish to create new articles you can sign up with a new account and can create articles on notable topics, no matter if the particular article exists on Wikipedia under the same or similar name. Some articles here are imported from Wikipedia and you may notice a disclosure at the end of each page such as [[Achappam]] and if you can't find such disclosure, you can add one by placing <code><nowiki>{{en-Wikipedia}}</nowiki></code> at the end of the article.

:::Finally, I read the article you cited. Next, 4) Is it mandatory for me to create my new user account here with the exactly same username from the wikipedia org? Next, 5) Do I need special permission to edit, create an article here? 6) Like wikipedia, can I perform edits here normally? 7) Can I import article from the wikipedia? For that, do I need special rights or powers here? I mean all these in good faith. And I have a strong desire to have my service here.

::::{{re|47.29.19.238}} No it's not mandatory to create a new account with exactly the same user name on Wikipedia, it's your choice if you wish to keep both accounts under the same username. You don't need special user rights to edit pages on this site, but several actions including article creation in the main namespace are restricted to user accounts that are at least 4 days old and have made at least 10 edits.

Any contributor can create, edit or even nominate an article for deletion if they feel it may not meet our content guidelines, but that's not the dead end. Currently [[Anshuman Tiwari (musician)]] was proposed for deletion and any editor who disagrees with a proposed deletion can simply remove the tag. Even after the page is deleted, any editor can have the page restored by any administrator simply by asking. In both cases, the editor is encouraged to fix the perceived problem with the page.

== Some issues ==

Hi, WikiDwarf!

Thank you for passing RFA. The problem I noticed is that I can edit under MediaWiki protection but somehow I can't create pages into the MediaWiki namespace. I hope the interface administrator can do this. However for now can you install twinkle gadets extension or js there from English wikipedia?, so that i can translate and correct the script to run twinkle on Bengali Bharatpedia.

One more problem is as an Administrator I'm not able to give userright (like- rollback, Autopatrolled etc.) to another user and main problem is that i'm not able to make myself bot account for temporary to fixing some general issues, for which the place of recent changes is floating. I think it's important to have. Please look at this. Thanks. -- [[User:রবি|রবি]] ([[User talk:রবি|talk]]) 21:55, 22 March 2022 (IST)

Hello WikiDwarf! I received your mail! I have checked out all the websites one by one! There's no problem in log in. Once after I logged in at meta, I saw there is automatic log in at all the languages' wikis! But I saw my edit count in Meitei Bharatpedia as "0" in http://bharatpedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth when I entered my username and check my information! Is this a result of malfunction? I have done significant edits in Meitei Bharatpedia. Besides, in the section of "Groups", I saw nothing in Meitei Bharatpedia's row but I saw "autopatrolled, importer, sysop" in English Bharatpedia. --[[User:SonOfZeus|SonOfZeus]] ([[User talk:SonOfZeus|talk]]) 22:58, 6 May 2022 (IST)

Thank you, I got it and happy to hear about Container wiki (it's extremely useful for everyone).

Anyways, when you have time can you correct the prefix of meta "m" (it is redirect to meta.wikimedia.org) at [[bn:বিশেষ:আন্তঃউইকি|বিশেষ:আন্তঃউইকি]]? and also can you add one language which is missing in bn - Prefix is "bho" and url "https://bho.bharatpedia.org/wiki/$1".

== About Container Bharatmedia ==
Hello WikiDwarf! I hope there might have already been some discussions being proceeded on at the last meet-up. Btw, for me, I have some suggestions. Wikimedia Commons is known for having very very strict rules about licensing on the pictures. That strictness lead to the enabling of the local wikis (for example, English Wikipedia) to allow users to upload files in their local platforms. Local wikis still have some rules and regulations but not too strict like Wikimedia Commons. I am highlighting this fact because I expect our Container Bharatmedia to have rules but not too much strict like that of Wikimedia Commons. Particularly, cc-by-nc (non commercial license) is totally not allowed in Wikimedia Commons. But for Container Bharatmedia, I wish to allow this. This license meant not to use the files for commercial purposes. And since Bharatmedia projects are not commercial zones, it's still ok to allow files of such license type to be used. Please tell me what are your thoughts on these facts! --[[User:SonOfZeus|SonOfZeus]] ([[User talk:SonOfZeus|talk]]) 12:02, 11 May 2022 (IST)

:The Container wiki name is different and also a unique one. I'm one of the supporter to keep this name. Whatever will be in its rules and regulations, the main thing we must note is that it is separate from the Commons and suppose to be better than Commons (that we will make).

Should I update a line in that article which state that (Dinesh Kumar is also known as Dinesh Meel).

== Question ❓ ==

Why is our Bharatpedia now entirely reliant on Wikimedia Commons for media files?

Sadly the Wikimedia Commons account "Hutah" that uploaded our Bharatpedia logo appears to be blocked on the Russian Wikipedia.

https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAuth/Hutah

We require a system similar mechanism like Everybodywiki, where files from Wikimedia Commons directly uploaded to their media platforms.
[[User:Magadha Historian|Magadha Historian]] ([[User talk:Magadha Historian|talk]]) 19:51, 23 November 2023 (IST)
:Hello {{u|Magadha Historian}}, as far as I know, Wikimedia Commons was initially utilized for files to optimize disk space usage during the early stages of Bharatpedia when it operated on a small server. However, a decision was later made to use our own platform for files, similar to Commons, and the process for the same is still in progress.

== About primary Greek Script. ==

Hello WikiDwarf, I've noticed that the primary Indic Script Brahmi with translation is commonly used on Bharatpedia. I'm interested in adding primary Greek and Latin Scripts like Strabo[https://archive.org/details/geographyofstrab07strauoft/page/144/mode/1up], Arian, and Justin just above their English translations. English translations as quotes are already present on the pages.

So I wanna ask , is there any rule against this, or am I free to add the primary Greek Scripts, similar to how Ashoka's Indic Brahmi script is already used above its English translation on various pages?

What happened to the 2024-2026 content? Did a server failure occur? [[User:Gstar|Gstar]] ([[User talk:Gstar|talk]]) 05:06, 14 April 2026 (IST)

:@[[User:Gstar|Gstar]] Hi, as much as I’m aware, the 2025–2026 content was affected by a major database attack that caused data loss. It wasn’t a typical server failure.

If you have anything specific you’d like us to restore, please share the page details with a timestamp.

Bot: /* Editor of the month (August 2023) */ clean up

== Welcome :-) ==
Hello, Muskit Gergous, and welcome to Bharatpedia! Thank you for [[Special:Contributions/Muskit Gergous|your contributions]]. I hope you like this place and decide to stay. We are working hard to make this one of the most popular websites in the world, and it's only possible through the contributions of editors like you. This website is not just a collection of articles, it's an active community. The real fun here is contributing to Bharatpedia, but don't feel hurt if some of your first few edits get removed, as there are some central guidelines you may not be familiar with.

Some good advice: be bold in your editing, and use the talk pages to discuss with other editors. Be kind to others, because there's a lot you can learn from them, and there's lots they can help you with.

There's lots of resources to help you become a great editor, from our basic introduction to our in-depth manual. But if you have any questions or problems, no matter what they are, leave me a message on [[User talk:PinkMelon|my talk page]], or ask a question on your talk page. Oh, and please [[Bharatpedia:Signatures|sign your name]] on talk pages using four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>); this will automatically produce your username and the date. Again, welcome!

== Devilraj ==

Hello Muskit Gergous, I have moved your article [[Devilraj]] to the [[Draft:Devilraj|draft namespace]] because all the sources in the article are unreliable and they do not establish notability. Please cite some reliable news articles that discuss the subject in detail and resubmit the draft for review. If you need any help please feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. [[User:WikiDwarf|WikiDwarf]] ([[User talk:WikiDwarf|talk]]) 00:55, 20 July 2023 (IST)

== Bad page move ==

[[File:Information orange.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]] Please do not move a page to a title that is harder to follow, or move it unilaterally against [[Bharatpedia:Article titles|naming conventions]] or [[Bharatpedia:Consensus|consensus]]. This includes making page moves while a discussion remains underway. We have some [[Bharatpedia:Article titles|guidelines]] to help with deciding what title is best for a subject. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the [[: testwiki:|test]] Bharatpedia. Thank you.

Hi Muskit Gergous, I just wanted to let you know that I have <span class="plainlinks">[//en.bharatpedia.org.in/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights&page=User%3AMuskit_Gergous added]</span> the "{{mono|autopatrolled}}" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the autopatrolled right, see [[Bharatpedia:Autopatrolled]]. However, you should consider adding stub-tags and categories to new articles that you create if you aren't already in the habit of doing so, since your articles will no longer be systematically checked by other editors.

Bharatpedia:Autobiography

2026-07-11T05:32:28Z

Bot: /* Problems in an article about you */ clean up

<noinclude>{{short description|Bharatpedia behavioral guidelines regarding autobiographical editing}}</noinclude>
{{Selfref|"BP:AB" and "BP:AUTO" redirect here. For information on autoblocks, see [[BP:AUTOBLOCK]]. For WikiProject Automobiles, see [[BP:CAR]]. For the Abuse Reports noticeboard, see [[BP:ABUSE]]. For information on autoconfirmed accounts, see [[BP:AUTOCONFIRM]]. For information about the autopatrolled user group, see [[BP:AUTOPAT]]. For the automated editing tool, see [[BP:AutoWikiBrowser]].

{{Bharatpedia subcat guideline|content guideline|Autobiography|BP:AUTOBIO}}
{{Nutshell|Avoid writing or editing an article about yourself (or paying someone else to do so), other than to correct unambiguous errors of fact.}}
{{Guideline list}}

Writing an '''[[autobiography]]''' on Bharatpedia is an example of [[BP:COI|conflict of interest editing]] and is ''strongly '' discouraged. Editing a biography about yourself is acceptable only if you are removing unambiguous vandalism or clear-cut and serious violations of our [[BP:BLP|biography of living persons policy]].

Bharatpedia has gone through many prolonged disputes about the significance, factual accuracy, and neutrality of such articles.<ref>{{cite web|title=Bharatpedia Founder Looks Out for Number 1|work=cadenhead.org|author=Rogers Cadenhead|date=2005-12-19|url=http://www.cadenhead.org/workbench/news/2828}}</ref> Avoiding such editing keeps Bharatpedia [[BP:NPOV|neutral]] and helps avoid pushing a particular [[Bharatpedia:Points of view|point of view]].

Writing autobiographies is discouraged because it is ''difficult'' to write a neutral, verifiable autobiography, and there are many pitfalls.

If you have been published elsewhere on a topic, we welcome your expertise on the subject for Bharatpedia articles. However, every Bharatpedia article must cover its subject in a neutral, fair, and comprehensive way to advance knowledge of the subject as a whole. Please acknowledge and minimize your biases while enriching the Bharatpedia readers' knowledge. Articles that exist primarily to advance the interests of the contributor will likely be deleted.

== The problem with autobiographies ==
There are a number of fundamental problems with autobiographies:
*They are often biased, [[puffery|usually positively]]. People will write overly positive impressions of themselves, and often present opinions as facts. Bharatpedia aims to avoid presenting opinions as facts. ([[Bharatpedia:Neutral point of view|Neutral point of view]] does ''not'' mean simply writing in the [[wikt:third person|third person]]).
*They can be unverifiable. If the only source for a particular fact about you is ''yourself'', then readers cannot verify it. (One common area where this is the case is with hopes, dreams, thoughts, and aspirations. There is no way for readers to verify what you think.) [[Bharatpedia:Verifiability|Everything in Bharatpedia articles must be verifiable]].
*They can contain [[Bharatpedia:No original research|original research]]. People often include in autobiographies information that has never been published before, or which is the result of firsthand knowledge. This type of information would require readers to perform primary research to verify it. Bharatpedia does not distribute previously-unpublished information; [[Bharatpedia:No original research|original research is not permitted in Bharatpedia]].

In this context, "autobiography" means not only something you write yourself, but also something you pay, or instruct, someone to write on your behalf.

=== Why these problems exist ===
Even though you honestly believe you are being neutral, that does not mean you are. ''[[Self-serving bias|Unconscious biases]]'' exist and are a common cause of problems with autobiographical articles, affecting both neutrality and verifiability. When writing about yourself, you are more likely to include unverifiable information.

Even if you believe you can write an autobiography based only on verifiable material without doing original research, you may still not be able to achieve a neutral result. For example, as a recognized authority or prominent figure, you might emphasize objective data, such as the sheer volume of your published material, or the fact that your work has been translated into different languages or performed in other countries. Examples of volume or scope can create a non-neutral tone that is usually recognizable as deliberate self-aggrandizement. Likewise, deep biographical detail, such as details of your religious beliefs, the careers of your [[BP:BIO|non-notable]] family members, or the mere fact that you have famous friends may not be verifiable or relevant.

{{anchor|IFEXIST}}

== If Bharatpedia already has an article about you ==
{{shortcut|BP:AUTO#IFEXIST}}
It is difficult to write neutrally and objectively about oneself (see above about unconscious biases). You should generally let others do the writing.

Contributing material or making suggestions on the article's [[Bharatpedia:Talk pages|talk page]] is considered proper—let independent editors write it into the article itself or approve it if you still want to make the changes yourself. It may help attract attention to your talk page request to include the {{tl|request edit}} template as part of the request.

In clear-cut cases, it is permissible to edit pages connected to yourself. So, you can revert [[Bharatpedia:Vandalism|vandalism]]; but of course it has to be simple, obvious vandalism and not a content dispute. Similarly, you should feel free to remove obviously mistaken facts about yourself, such as marital status, current employer, place of birth, and so on. (Note it on the talk page.) If the fact has different interpretations, others [[Bharatpedia:Be bold in updating pages|will edit it]].

Since Bharatpedia is an encyclopedia, it should be a [[tertiary source]]—it should not contain any "new" information or theories (see [[Bharatpedia:No original research]]) and most information should exist in [[Bharatpedia:Citing sources|checkable third-party sources]]. Facts, retellings of events, and clarifications which you may wish to have added to an article about yourself must be [[Bharatpedia:Verifiable|verifiable]] with reliable sources.

If you are a regular Bharatpedia editor, you can identify yourself on the article's talk page with the {{tl|Notable Bharatpedian}} notice.

==Problems in an article about you==
{{shortcut|BP:AUTOPROB}}
{{See main|Bharatpedia:Contact us/Article subjects}}

If Bharatpedia has an article about you, we want it to be accurate, fair, balanced and [[Bharatpedia:Neutral point of view|neutral]]—to accurately reflect the ''[[BP:V|sourced, cited]]'' opinions of [[BP:RS|reliable sources]]. If you believe reliable sources exist which will make the article more balanced, you can help by pointing other editors to such sources.

You may wish to make suggestions on the article's [[Bharatpedia:Talk pages|talk page]] or, if the problem is clear-cut and uncontroversial, you may wish to edit the page yourself. If your edit may be misinterpreted, you should explain it on the talk page. Note that if the fact has different interpretations, others [[Bharatpedia:Be bold in updating pages|will edit it]]. Your edits are more likely to be accepted if they are neutral and [[Bharatpedia:Cite sources|well-sourced]] to [[Bharatpedia:Third-party sources|third parties]].

If others do not agree with the changes you propose, you may pursue [[Bharatpedia:Dispute resolution|dispute resolution]]. For instance, the [[Bharatpedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard|Biographies of living person noticeboard]] may offer a forum for impartial contributors to help resolve differences.

If you feel insufficient attention is being paid to problems with an article about you, try placing a note on the [[Bharatpedia:help desk|help desk]] detailing the problems. ''Legal'' problems with the material in an article about you, please email [mailto:info@bharatpedia.org info@bharatpedia.org] promptly with full details. But ''do not'' post legal threats on Bharatpedia itself (articles, talk pages, noticeboards)—doing so is a serious violation of Bharatpedia rules (see [[BP:No legal threats]]) and will lead to your being immediately blocked from further editing until you withdraw the threat.

If the article about you has no photo, or you can supply a better one, feel free to contribute one under a suitable [[free content]] license. (If you did not create the photo yourself e.g. photos from promotional materials, make sure you have the legal authority to release the photo under such a license.)

== Creating an article about yourself ==
{{policy shortcut|BP:YOURSELF}}
{{Quote box|width=80%|align=left|salign=right
|Upon some of [[Cato the Elder|Cato]]'s friends expressing their surprise, that while many persons without merit or reputation had statues, he had none, he answered, "I had much rather it should be asked why the people have not erected a statue to Cato, than why they have."
|source = ''Encyclopaedia Britannica'' (1797)
}}{{clear}}

If your life and achievements are verifiable and genuinely notable, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later, but creating an article ''about yourself'' is '''strongly''' discouraged: we want biographies here, not autobiographies.

*Independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability; it is natural for people to exaggerate in writing about themselves. All edits to articles must conform to [[Bharatpedia:No original research]], [[Bharatpedia:Neutral point of view]], and [[Bharatpedia:Verifiability]].
*If no third party has yet created an article about you, there is the danger that, should the article be vandalised, there will be no interested editors watching and the vandalism may remain uncorrected for long periods.
*Self-created articles are often [[Bharatpedia:articles for deletion|nominated for deletion]], and comments in the ensuing discussions are often most uncomplimentary. Many editors feel that persons who create autobiographies are exploiting a volunteer project for their own aggrandizement.
*Anything you submit will be edited mercilessly to make it [[Bharatpedia:neutral point of view|neutral]]. '''Many autobiographical articles have become a source of dismay to their original authors''' after a period of editing by the community, and in several instances have been listed for deletion by their original authors. But if you do turn out to be notable, the article will stay—you cannot get it deleted just because you are not happy with it.

''If'' you really think that you can meet the inclusion criteria, and ''if'' you are willing to accept that your article must be neutral and non-promotional, then propose one at [[BP:AFC|Articles for Creation]] instead of creating one directly. Articles for Creation provides independent viewpoints that may uncover discover biases you were unaware of, and shows you value volunteer editors' time over your own ego.

Bharatpedia:Edit filter

2026-07-11T05:32:26Z

Bot: /* Private filters */ clean up

{{short description|Bharatpedia project page about the edit filter}}
{{subcat guideline|editing guideline|Edit filter|BP:EF|BP:AF|BP:FILTER|BP:EDITFILTER|BP:AUTODISALLOW}}
The '''edit filter''' or '''abuse filter''' is a tool that allows editors in the ''edit filter manager'' group to set controls, mainly<ref name="goodedits">Edit filters can and have been used to track or tag certain non-harmful edits, for example, addition of [[Bharatpedia:WikiLove|WikiLove]].</ref> to address common patterns of harmful editing. The current filters can be found at [[Special:AbuseFilter]]. A filter automatically compares every edit made to Bharatpedia against a defined set of conditions. If an edit matches the conditions of a filter, that filter will respond by logging the edit. The filter logs can be found at [[Special:AbuseLog]]. It may also [[BP:Tags|tag]] the edit summary, require users to complete a CAPTCHA successfully to save their edit, warn the editors before they save their edit, revoke their [[BP:AUTOCONFIRMED|autoconfirmed]] status, and/or disallow the edit entirely.<ref>The extension also allows blocking, but these features are disabled on the English Bharatpedia. Because of this, the pseudo-account [[User:Edit filter]] is automatically made an admin.</ref>

The [[mw:Extension:AbuseFilter|AbuseFilter extension]] was enabled on the English Bharatpedia in 2009. The term "edit filter" is currently used for user-facing elements of the filter, rather than "abuse filter", as some edits it flags are not harmful;<ref name="goodedits" /> the terms are otherwise synonymous.

Because even the smallest mistake in editing a filter can significantly disrupt the encyclopedia, only editors who have the required good judgment and technical proficiency are permitted to configure filters. This page does not discuss technical issues concerning the feature; technical information relating to the operation of the edit filter can be found at [[mw:Extension:AbuseFilter|Extension:AbuseFilter]].

==Basics of usage==
{{shortcut|BP:EFBASICS}}
{{Detail|Bharatpedia:Edit filter/Documentation}}
Edit filters are mainly<ref name="goodedits" /> used to identify and mitigate harmful edits by comparing edits with filtering criteria that address patterns of harmful editing. Filters are created and configured by edit filter managers, but they can be [[BP:EFR|requested]] by any editor.

When an edit that is being saved "triggers" an active filter, the effect depends on a setting associated with that particular filter:
*The strongest setting is '''block autopromote''', which removes or delays a user's promotion to autoconfirmed status if a user trips the filter.
*The next highest setting is '''disallow'''. In this case, the edit is rejected, and the user will see a customizable message ([[MediaWiki:Abusefilter-disallowed|this one]] by default).
*The next highest setting is to '''warn'''. In this case, the user will see a customizable message ([[MediaWiki:Abusefilter-warning|this one]] by default) that the edit may be problematic. The user then has the option to either proceed with the save, or abandon the edit.
*The next highest setting is to '''show a CAPTCHA''' to the user. This requires the person performing the edit to solve a [[CAPTCHA]] to proceed with the edit, if they do not possess the <code>skipcaptcha</code> right, which is part of the [[BP:AUTOCONFIRM|autoconfirmed]] local usergroup, and the [[meta:CAPTCHA exemptions|global CAPTCHA exemption]] group.
*The next highest setting is to '''add a tag'''. In this case, the edit is [[Bharatpedia:Tags|tagged]] for review by patrollers.
*The lowest setting is to '''log the edit'''. In this case, the edit is merely added to the [[Special:AbuseLog|abuse log]]. When testing new filters, this is the suggested setting to use.

==Recommended uses==
{{Shortcut|BP:EFUSES}}
Except in urgent situations, new edit filters should generally be tested without any actions specified (simply enabled) until a good number of edits have been logged and checked before being implemented in "warn", "disallow", or "block autopromote" modes. If the filter is receiving more than a very small percentage of false positives, it should usually not be placed in "disallow" or "block autopromote" mode. If a filter is designed to catch [[BP:AGF|good faith]] edits, it should not be placed in "disallow" or "block autopromote" mode without an appropriate consensus.

Edit filter managers should be familiar with alternatives that might be more appropriate in a given situation. For example, problems on a single page might be better served with [[BP:PP|page protection]], and problems with page titles or [[BP:LINKSPAM|link spam]] may find the [[BP:Title blacklist|title blacklist]] and [[MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist|spam blacklist]] more effective, respectively. Because edit filters check every edit in some way, filters that are tripped only rarely are discouraged.

Edit filters should only be set to "disallow" and "block autopromote" to prevent edits that good-faith editors would substantially agree are undesirable, or where a clear consensus has been reached that a specific type of edit should not be allowed. Any doubts regarding setting a filter to "disallow" or "block autopromote" should be discussed with other edit filter managers.

Except in urgent situations, new edit filters must not be set to "disallow" or "block autopromote" without thorough testing and a notice at [[BP:EFN|the noticeboard]] to give other edit filter managers and the community time to review the filter for technical accuracy and necessity.<ref>Non-admins in good standing who wish to review a proposed but hidden filter may message the mailing list for details.</ref> In urgent situations, the notice may be made after-the-fact. Prior to and during the review of an edit filter which is set to "disallow" or "block autopromote" due to an emergency, the editor placing the edit filter is responsible for seeing that the logs are regularly monitored and false positives are minimized. Editors should avoid altering filters in modes other than log-only without some form of testing.<ref>Testing could include using the batch testing interface, temporarily disabling the filter, or using a second filter, or use a [[:testwiki:|Test Bharatpedia]] filter to test.</ref>

==User right==
{{seealso|Bharatpedia:Edit filter manager|Bharatpedia:Edit filter helper}}
Only members of the edit filter manager group are allowed to modify filters, though edit filter helpers and administrators can view private filters. Edit filter managers also have the ability to edit [[BP:Tags|tags]]. This group is assignable by [[BP:ADMIN|administrators]], who may also assign the right to themselves.

The assignment of the edit filter manager user right to non-admins is highly restricted. It should ''only'' be requested by and given to highly trusted users, when there is a clear and demonstrated need for it. Demonstrated ability that one can and will use it safely is absolutely critical. This is because widespread disruption of the entire encyclopedia can easily occur—even unintentionally—with the smallest of mistakes in changing edit filters. Therefore, demonstrated knowledge of the extension's [[:mw:Extension:AbuseFilter/Rules format|syntax]] and an understanding and crafting [[regular expressions]] is absolutely essential.<ref name="perlre">The extension uses [[Perl]]-style regular expressions, which is the most common style, but is substantially different from and more extensive than [[:mw:Extension:Scribunto/Lua_reference_manual#Patterns|Scribunto]] (Lua) patterns. See [http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_43_0/libs/regex/doc/html/boost_regex/syntax/perl_syntax.html#boost_regex.syntax.perl_syntax.perl_regular_expression_syntax this page] for documentation.</ref> Editors who are not edit filter managers should consider helping out at [[Bharatpedia:Edit_filter/Requested|requested edit filters]] and troubleshooting at [[Bharatpedia:Edit filter/False positives|false positives]] to help gain experience and demonstrate these skills.

Requests for assignment of the group to non-admins can be made at the [[Bharatpedia:Edit filter noticeboard|edit filter noticeboard]], where a discussion will be held before a decision is made; discussions are normally held open for 7 days. Such requests must be initiated by the user requesting the right. In addition, a small number of WMF staff have the right, which they may request from the Trust and Safety group, following WMF procedures.

Edit filter helpers are non-admins who have read-only access to [[BP:PRIVATEFILTER|private filter logs]]. Since administrators already have access to private filters, it is not necessary for such users to request this user right. This user right is highly sensitive and rarely given out, due to its significant risks if abused. When a user wants to request this permission, they should also open a discussion at the edit filter noticeboard. Such as discussion will also normally be held for a week as well.

If an edit filter manager or edit filter helper is misusing the user right, the concern should first be raised with them directly. If discussion does not resolve the issue, a request for discussion or removal of the user right may be made at the edit filter noticeboard.

==Requesting edit filters==
{{main|Bharatpedia:Edit filter/Requested}}
Edit filters can be requested at the requests page. Edit filter managers monitor this page and implement edit filters when a good case is made. If there is a disagreement, try to build a [[BP:CONSENSUS|consensus]]. The desirability of an edit filter may also emerge from discussions elsewhere on Bharatpedia or through communication on the mailing list.

If it would not be desirable to discuss the need for a given edit filter on-wiki, such as where the purpose of the filter is to combat harassment by an abusive banned user who is likely to come across the details of the request, edit filter managers can be emailed directly.

If an editor (who need not be an edit filter manager) believes that an existing edit filter is unnecessary, is preventing good edits, or is otherwise problematic, they should raise their concerns on the [[BP:EFN|edit filter noticeboard]] or directly with the edit filter manager who created or enabled the filter for further discussion.

==Private filters==
{{Shortcut|BP:PRIVATEFILTER}}
While edit filter settings and logs are by default publicly viewable, some are set to be private. For all filters, including those hidden from public view, a brief description of what the rule targets is displayed in the [[Special:AbuseLog|log]], the list of active filters, and in any error messages generated by the filter. Edit filter managers should take care not to [[BP:BEANS|discuss the specifics of hidden filters]] publicly.

Filters should only be hidden where necessary, such as in [[BP:LTA|long-term abuse]] cases where the targeted user(s) could review a public filter and use that knowledge to circumvent it. Filters should not generally be named after abusive editors, but rather with a simple description of the type of abuse, provided not too much information is given away.

Edit filter managers and helpers may share the contents of private edit filters with non-administrators/non-edit filter managers/non-edit filter helpers on the basis of their good judgment. Be careful not to test sensitive parts of private filters in a public test filter (such as {{EF|1}}): use a private test filter (for example, {{EF|1231}} or {{EF|8}}) if testing is required. Similarly, be careful not to post sensitive parts of private filters on talk pages or persistent pages of external sites.

Sensitive issues concerning private filters may be raised by emailing filter managers or by contacting them via the [[mail:bharatpedia-en-editfilters|bharatpedia-en-editfilters]] mailing list at '''info@bharatpedia.org'''.

==Tools and resources==
Edit filters sometimes make use of relatively large (though not usually complex) [[regular expression]]s (regexes). External tools such as [https://regex101.com/ Regex101] can be useful for testing these.{{refn|Be sure to set such tools to its "Perl" or "PCRE" ([[Perl Compatible Regular Expressions]]) mode; avoid using a tool if it doesn't have such a mode. Also this will not be useful with "ccnorm" strings.<ref name="perlre" />}} Because regexes are extremely fragile and almost ''any'' typo in one will cause it to malfunction, use of such a tool is recommended. Use of [[Special:AbuseFilter/test|the test interface]] when creating or editing filters is also recommended.

{{notice|This page provides information for people who have concerns about their name being mentioned on Bharatpedia, whether in a biography or elsewhere.|shortcut1=BP:BLP/H|shortcut2=BP:BLPHELP}}

Bharatpedia's policy on how to handle material about living persons and [[Bharatpedia: Biographies of living persons|biographies of living persons]] applies to every page on the project, including talk pages. If Bharatpedia has published material about you, and you need help, you can:

{{bigdiv|
*post a correction on the article's talk page and ask that it be implemented;
*ask for assistance at the [[Bharatpedia: Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard|biographies of living persons noticeboard]];
*place '''{{tlx|adminhelp}}''' on [[Bharatpedia:User_pages#Terminology_and_page_locations|your user talk page]], which will attract an administrator;
*contact the [[Bharatmedia Foundation]]'s [[Bharatpedia:Volunteer response team|team of volunteers]] at '''[mailto:info@bharatpedia.org info@bharatpedia.org]''', with a link to the page and details of the problem.

== Overview ==
=== How biographical articles are written and edited ===
Anyone may create an article on any topic in Bharatpedia, within broad criteria:
:{| class="wikitable"
| All topics in general:
| Must be capable of [[Bharatpedia:Neutral point of view|neutral presentation]], must adhere to [[Bharatpedia:What Bharatpedia is not]], and must be [[Bharatpedia:Notability|notable]]. The word "notable" is used on Bharatpedia to mean that independent [[Bharatpedia:Reliable sources|reliable sources]] have taken notice of the subject.
|-
|Biographical material about living people ("BLPs") specifically:
| Must be neutral in content, disinterested in tone, and carefully sourced. Anyone may remove biographical material about living persons that is unsourced, poorly-sourced, or otherwise inappropriate. Editors may take an article subject's wishes into account, and regularly do in cases of borderline notability. See [[Bharatpedia:Biographies of living persons]] for more.
|}

=== Contacts ===
The best place to start is the [[Bharatpedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard|biographical articles noticeboard]]. Click the "New section" tag at the top ("+") ([[Special:NewSection/Bharatpedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard|'''direct link''']]) and add a note including the article title and your concerns. Watch that page for replies. (Other common places for discussion are the article's [[Bharatpedia:Talk page|discussion page]] and your [[Special:MyTalk|talk page]].)

If you wish to discuss the matter privately, you can email the Volunteer Response Team at '''[mailto:info@bharatpedia.org info@bharatpedia.org]'''. Your email will reach a volunteer team of experienced users who help with biographical articles and privacy-related matters. Note that if the matter is one of editorial discretion, you may need to discuss it with the article's editors.

===Editing the article yourself ===
{{see|Bharatpedia:Conflict of interest}}
Editing a Bharatpedia article on yourself is, in most cases, strongly discouraged. However, if you decide to do it, the best approach is to correct the article in a way that any reasonable person would agree is fair. Always drop a note on the article's talk page explaining who you are, what you changed and why. Simple corrections like these include:
*removing obvious [[Bharatpedia:Vandalism|vandalism]]
*improving grammar
*correcting straightforward errors of fact (you will need to [[BP:CITE|cite]] one or more independent [[Bharatpedia:Verifiability|reliable sources]])
*removing contentious material that is unsourced or poorly sourced (see [[Bharatpedia:BLPREMOVE]])

If you are considering editing an article on yourself, it is highly recommended that you read the [[BP:FAQ/Article subjects|FAQ for article subjects]] first.

If there is privacy-related material that you want to have permanently deleted, rather than just corrected, please [[Bharatpedia:Requests for oversight#how|request oversight of it]].

==== Things to be aware of ====
* Bharatpedia has policies on article content (how articles may be written) and editorial conduct (how users and visitors should act in discussing articles).
* People who are the subject of an article or who are close to the article subject are rarely neutral on that topic, and therefore it is difficult for them to edit neutrally. Many times, they also lack experience in what may be achieved on Bharatpedia, and how to achieve it. This can lead to serious misunderstandings or even a blocked account if they try to edit improperly. In such cases, it is better to stay calm if you can, seek help, discuss openly with editors, ''and allow those experienced in article writing to help you''. Remember that we are writing an encyclopedia here. If you are seen to be working sincerely with other editors to make the article better, then you should be okay. That is the basic criterion by which we judge people here.
* Not every request can be met. Bharatpedia is a reference work. If articles could be modified as their subjects wished, the encyclopedia would lose much of its value, because many people would want an article that was biased in favor of their own agendas. However, at a minimum, you should expect your article to be based on what reliable sources have actually said – and not sensationalist or prurient or "tabloid" sources. In most cases it is clear which is which, though there are cases where there is a real disagreement over which [[BP:RS|sources are reliable]]. These discussions should always take place on the talk page for that article.
* In some cases the "[[Streisand effect]]" can mean that your involvement might draw a spotlight to the article or its past edits. If this may be an issue, then you may wish to keep to the talk page, or seek help by email instead.
* [[BP:NLT|Threatening legal action]] onsite is very likely to result in your editing rights being revoked until the threat is retracted or the legal case completed.

=== How to make yourself heard ===
Certain behaviors almost always result in help being offered. These include: [[Bharatpedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard|asking for help]] (respecting that users are almost entirely volunteers); and asking to whom or where you can escalate the request, if people cannot help as you would wish.

Other behaviors are likely to result in summary removal. These include [[BP:EW|edit warring]] and other disruptive behavior, threats, games, refusing to discuss or listen, or editing to an agenda that does not match that of a neutral encyclopedia. Patience is low for problematic editing ''even in a possible good cause''. Work with others, rather than ignore them, and in a productive rather than disruptive manner.

=== Old (history) versions of pages and search engines ===
[[Help:Page history|Bharatpedia keeps records of old pages]]. Only the current (most up to date) page is linked from most search engines such as [[Google]], and when a page is updated the new version will eventually replace the old one when searched for externally on most web sites. (Technically, all pages containing "/w/" in their address are forbidden to be indexed, and this includes all history pages.)

'''Old revisions of pages containing some kinds of comments may be deleted from public view if administrators agree it is appropriate'''. Old versions of the article are preserved and archived as "history" including most forms of vandalism and problematic editing. If the old version includes private personal information such as addresses or phone numbers then deletion by ''[[Bharatpedia:Oversight|suppression]]'' (also called ''oversight'') is an option that prevents even administrators seeing the material. Serious defamatory comments may be oversighted.

To request deletion of this kind, [[Bharatpedia:Requests for oversight|contact the oversight team]], stating the relevant page revision. (This is either the link that is given when you click "permanent link" on the left side-bar of the page, or if you know the date and time of the relevant edit, then that. See [[Bharatpedia:Diff|here]] for help.) If multiple revisions are affected you may cite all of them; if you aren't sure then ask for help to identify the revisions and whether they can be deleted.

Bear in mind that Bharatpedia has '''no control over external sites'''. Some sites may index undesired versions of a page; the nature of the Internet is that nobody can prevent them doing so. Some sites will respond to a personal request to remove the page, but others may not.

== A brief introduction to editing ==
If you want to edit an article related to yourself (a biography, or some closely related group, business, organization, or event), it helps to be aware of the most important Bharatpedia policies that may help, or which you might accidentally contravene.

Bharatpedia has many help pages for editors. This section provides quick information if your interest is an article connected to yourself.

=== Summary of major policies and guidelines ===
''Please see the link for each policy or guideline in more detail.''

==== Policies about what articles should say ====
Three main policies cover content:

#[[Bharatpedia:Neutral point of view|Neutral point of view]] (all articles must take a fair, balanced and neutral stance)
#[[Bharatpedia:Verifiability|Verifiability]] (facts in articles must be verifiable from [[Bharatpedia:Reliable sources|reliable sources]])
#[[Bharatpedia:No original research|Original research]] (users' and editors' opinions and "popular knowledge" are not suitable for encyclopedia articles)

A fourth core content policy on [[Bharatpedia:Biographies of living persons|biographies of living persons]] states that biographical articles must be written to the highest standard using only high-quality sources, and provides for more drastic handling of errors or problems in such articles. (A final content policy, related to [[Bharatpedia:Copyrights|copyright]], also exists but is generally irrelevant to problems of this kind.)

If you can successfully show that your biography is unbalanced or non-neutral, does not represent its sources properly, uses poor-quality sources, or includes unverified statements or editors' personal opinions, then you should find others agreeing quickly to fix any issues.

==== Policies about how users must act ====
Users must speak [[Bharatpedia:Civility|civilly]] (i.e., politely and to the point); must not act [[Bharatpedia:Disruptive editing|disruptively]], [[Bharatpedia:Tendentious editing|tendentiously]], or [[Bharatpedia:Edit war|edit war]]; and they should avoid [[Bharatpedia:Three-revert rule|excessive "reverting" of other editors]]. If there is a problem, then editors are expected to try and solve it themselves. If they are unable, they should seek help or use [[Bharatpedia:Dispute resolution|dispute resolution]] to resolve it, rather than "fighting" between themselves.

==== Policies about general social conventions ====
Users are expected to solve problems by [[Bharatpedia:Consensus|discussion and consensus-seeking]] if differences become apparent. They should not make [[Bharatpedia:Assume good faith|unsupported negative ("bad faith") assumptions]] about others and their motives or at least '''behave as if you believe all other parties are acting in good faith'''. This is important. Everything you type into Bharatpedia is preserved and archived forever and when the dispute goes to the next level how you behaved will be scrutinised. You should focus only on the articles and facts of the case. If an editor is new and does not act unreasonably, then existing editors should [[BP:DONTBITE|reciprocate with understanding]] and try to be helpful.

=== Conflict of interest ===
{| style="width:90%; margin:auto; border:1px solid black; padding:5px;"
| Bharatpedia has guidelines on [[Bharatpedia:Conflict of interest|conflict of interest]] and on editors writing [[Bharatpedia:Autobiography|their own autobiographical articles]]. Both are worth reading.

In brief, '''users who are personally connected to a topic are expected to leave their biases "at the door"''', even if the article is about them personally, even if it has been vandalized, and even if it is very difficult to remain neutral. Fixing a problematic article is good; asking others to fix it is good too. Fixing it with bias, or in the sense of "I want my biography to read this way", can be a problem. Ultimately the article's content is a communal decision, not just one person's view.

In such circumstances it is important to read the guidelines above carefully. If you want to do more than remove a clear and obvious breach of the content policies, then '''ask others to help'''.
|}

=== Quick guide to fixing errors ===
# Decide if the error you wish to fix is a clear breach of a content policy (as listed above). If it is, then it gets easier. If not, consider asking for help.
# Target obvious problems first. Do not try to edit the article in what may be a controversial way without thinking how others will see it. Correction of policy violations is usually much easier to explain and will be less likely to be misinterpreted.
# Click the tab labelled "edit this page" and correct the error. Edit minimally at first – that means, do the least you have to do to fix the error. In the small box below marked "edit summary", write a brief note what your change was, and why you feel it was right. If you need to say more, or it needs more explanation, also append a note to the summary: ''"See talk page"'' (to tell people it is continued elsewhere) and put a more detailed explanation on the article's [[Bharatpedia:Talk page|discussion page]]. Then save your correction by clicking "Publish changes".
# If you feel your correction may not be obvious, or may be misunderstood or argued, write more on the talk ("discussion") page. If there is an editorial disagreement, this is where it should be discussed anyway, so you have now corrected the error and told others to please discuss it before "reverting" your correction.
# You may wish to explain you are a new editor, the subject of the article, and to specify exactly which policies (above) you feel are breached. Others may agree or disagree, so be prepared to watch the page and discuss it. If you feel that you are unfamiliar with Bharatpedia and may not be able to explain it well, then seek further help (see above) and ask people on the talk page to hold on, that you are doing so. Be polite at all times.
# If someone is then rude, or ignores you, or reinstates improper material, you may wish to contact the biographies noticeboard (above) and ask others to review it. Again, you can say that you are the article subject, that you are unfamiliar with Bharatpedia, and rather than edit warring you are asking help, and need "extra eyes to consider the problem" because <user X> disagrees.
# If you are rebuffed by several editors (especially on different pages) who tell you the article is in fact proper, then you may wish to ask what can be done, at least, or escalate it if unsure. If only one or two tell you this, then (as above) ask in a different location to see if more experienced editors without prior involvement can advise. Bharatpedia works on consensus and independent peer review, so the most common solution is to seek more people to review it.
# You may have to allow some time for these issues. Bharatpedia's [[Bharatpedia:Dispute resolution|dispute resolution]] processes include everything from immediate intervention, to consensus-seeking, to [[Bharatpedia:Mediation Committee|mediation]] (assisted discussion to reach a mutually agreeable solution). Some of these can take time.

== Expectations ==
=== What you {{em|should}} expect ===
* Issues breaching editorial policy on a biographical article about a living person will be treated very seriously and with a very high priority. If the matter is obvious, it will usually be fixed immediately or very quickly. If less obvious, then it may require discussion. (Sometimes discussion may be needed more than once, or views may change as time passes.)
* If the community agrees you are in fact very minimally "notable", or of transitory (brief, non-lasting) notability, you can request your article's [[Bharatpedia:deletion guide|deletion]].
* If you were only notable in connection with one incident, topic or matter, and are not notable ''per se'' except for your role in that matter, then an article based on that incident or matter will often be more appropriate than one about you specifically.{{efn|Example: You were a witness at a crime, or the whistleblower on a fraud and got wide press coverage. The crime is notable; but anyone could have been the witness or whistleblower. As individuals, they are not notable unless there were further matters that made that specific person noteworthy as an individual in their own right too.}}
* Any article on you should be encyclopedic rather than tabloid – no sensationalist or editorial styling, and so on (see above) – and written based only on appropriate sources.

=== What you {{em|should not}} expect ===
* Bharatpedia editors are unlikely to make the article say exactly what you want.
* Bharatpedia editors will not give you exclusive editorial control over the article.
* Some editors might not agree with your views on yourself.

==Preventing recurrence ==
Bharatpedia contains a number of measures aimed at helping prevent recurrence of a problem, once resolved. ''It is important to note that most of these are strong measures rather than absolute guarantees, so it is worth checking from time to time yourself''.

* [[Bharatpedia:Consensus|Consensus and improvement]] – once a matter is agreed or a problematic area discussed and improved, it is often resolved. (Not always, but often.)
* [[Bharatpedia:Dispute resolution|Dispute resolution and administrative intervention]] – if the problem is another user who is insisting on damaging the biographical article improperly, then they can be dealt with via dispute resolution. It will help a lot if you at least act properly and calmly, and try to solve it yourself, so an administrator can easily see where the problem lies and that you have not managed to resolve it. (Note that Bharatpedia administrators are editors themselves; they do not "direct" them. For more on administrators see [[Bharatpedia:Administrators|here]].)
* [[Bharatpedia:Page protection|Page protection]] – various levels of page protection exist to prevent "driveby vandalism" or indeed all editing. This will not be used permanently in almost all cases, nor used without evidence of genuine ongoing necessity, but in some cases the article will be protected to prevent some kinds of editing.
* [[Bharatpedia:Flagged revisions|Flagged revisions]] – requires versions of a biography to be formally reviewed for reasonable compliance with BLP standards, before being shown to ordinary members of the public.
* [[Bharatpedia:Articles for deletion|Deletion discussion]] – a page that has been communally agreed to be deleted should not be recreated without good cause. If the page is recreated after such a decision, without full discussion, it will often be considered a direct breach of a communal consensus.
If despite the above and fixing the problem several times, it still recurs, then [[Bharatpedia:Contact us|let us know]]. As with most things on Bharatpedia, protective measures can also be escalated to an extent.

==Glossary of common Bharatpedia terms==
Abbreviations and terms you may see:
* ''[[BP:BLP|BLP]]'' – a biography of a living person, or an article, subject or text that contains biographical material about a living person. Also the person such material refers to, and the policy covering this.
* ''[[BP:NPOV|NPOV]]'' – Bharatpedia's neutral point of view policy, which is mandatory on every article on Bharatpedia without exception. It broadly states that Bharatpedia does not choose a single "preferred" view; rather it describes all views that have significant followings, in a balanced manner (with more authoritative views broadly given more "weight" in the article's balance), and written in a style and wording that discourages implied bias and encourages the reader to draw upon good quality cited information.
* ''[[BP:COI|COI]]'' – a conflict of interest. Broadly, where a person's editing or decisions may not necessarily be neutral in a situation due to a high level of personal connection to it. Can apply to anyone – administrators, users, or visitors. In this context, a person who is editing or discussing an article with which they also have a significant personal involvement.
* ''[[BP:Users|Users]]'' – ''users'' and ''editors'' are often terms used interchangeably on Bharatpedia, since a person is only visible as using the site when they edit. When Bharatpedia editors discuss users they often mean "users who edit as well", not just people who read the site for reference. All users/editors are volunteer members of the public.
* ''[[BP:Administrator|Administrator]]s'' – despite their name, administrators are not a superior class of users. They are users who have built up enough communal confidence to be trusted to use potentially harmful tools such as page deletion, page protection and user blocking. Administrators are expected to be aware of policies, and helpful to users. They can use these tools to prevent problematic editing, or enforce communal norms as needed, in the event of persistent editing or other conduct matters that breach communal norms.

[[File:Check-green.svg|right|80px]]
Hi Magadha Historian, I just wanted to let you know that I have <span class="plainlinks">[//en.bharatpedia.org.in/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights&page=User%3AMagadha_Historian added]</span> the "{{mono|autopatrolled}}" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the autopatrolled right, see [[Bharatpedia:Autopatrolled]]. However, you should consider adding stub-tags and categories to new articles that you create if you aren't already in the habit of doing so, since your articles will no longer be systematically checked by other editors. Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! [[User:Ajay Kumar|Ajay Kumar]] ([[User talk:Ajay Kumar|talk]]) 10:19, 28 November 2023 (IST)

You can now use the "Rollback" button to quickly revert clear cases of vandalism. Please keep the following things in mind while using rollback:

*Rollback doesn't give you special status on Bharatpedia; it's just a tool.
*Only use rollback for clear and obvious vandalism, not for well-intentioned edits.
*Avoid using rollback in edit wars or content disputes; misuse may result in revocation of the privilege.
*When in doubt, ask for guidance.

If you no longer want rollback, let me know. For more information on how to use rollback, check [[Bharatpedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback]].

Bharatpedia:Paid-contribution disclosure

2026-07-11T05:32:21Z

Bot: /* Reporting undisclosed paid editors */ clean up

{{short description|Policy for disclosing paid contributions on Bharatpedia}}
{{nutshell|If you are paid in any way for contributing to Bharatpedia, disclose it.}}
A '''paid contribution''' is one that involves contributing to Bharatpedia in exchange for money or other inducements. It includes adding or removing content from any page, including articles and talk pages.

If you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Bharatpedia, you '''must''' disclose who is paying you to edit (your "[[#Employer|employer]]"), who the client is, and any other relevant role or relationship. It does not matter whether you are paid directly by the client, or paid indirectly by an employer on behalf of the client. Editors who receive payment for their edits or actions on Bharatpedia must comply with the Terms of Use and the local policies and guidelines.

==Bharatpedia Terms of Use==
Bharatpedia's Terms of Use require that all editors disclose their "employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which they receive, or expect to receive, compensation":

<blockquote style="background-color:#F9F9F9;margin-left:0em;border-left:solid 2px #ccc;padding:1.5em">
'''Paid contributions without disclosure'''

These Terms of Use prohibit engaging in deceptive activities, including misrepresentation of affiliation, impersonation, and fraud. As part of these obligations, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways:

:*a statement on your user page,
:*a statement on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or
:*a statement in the edit summary accompanying any paid contributions.

Applicable law, or community and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure.</blockquote>

The above is the policy of Bharatpedia.

==Meaning of "employer, client, and affiliation"==
Editors must disclose their employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any paid contribution to Bharatpedia.

*{{anchor|Employer}}'''Employer''': the person or organization that pays, either directly or through intermediaries, a user to contribute to Bharatpedia. This includes cases where the employer has hired the user as an employee, has engaged the user under a freelance contract, is compensating the user without a contract, or is compensating the user through the user's employment by another organization.
* '''Client''': the person or organization on whose behalf the edits are made; the client is often the subject of the article.
* '''Affiliation''': other connections that might be relevant, including, but not limited to, people or businesses who provide text, images, or other media for the paid edit. If a paid editor is working as a contractor, "affiliation" would include any broker involved in the transaction (e.g. [[Fiverr]], [[Upwork]], etc).
* '''Contribution''': any text or file added to, or deleted from, Bharatpedia, including talk-page and sandbox contributions, and material added to or deleted from articles by others at the behest of paid editors.
* '''Payment''' or '''compensation''': includes, but is not limited to, money, goods or services. Users who are compensated for any publicity efforts related to the subject of their Bharatpedia contributions are deemed to be paid editors, regardless of whether they were compensated specifically to edit Bharatpedia.

For example, if Smith PR pays an editor to work on Bharatpedia content about Acme Widgets, then Smith PR is that editor's employer with respect to those contributions, while Acme Widgets is the client. If you have been hired by a public-relations firm to edit Bharatpedia, you must disclose both the firm and the firm's client. Often the employer and client are the same entity. If Acme Widgets pays an editor directly to write about that company, then Acme Widgets is both the employer and client.

'''Interns''' are considered employees for this purpose. If they are directed or expected to edit Bharatpedia as part of an internship, they must disclose.

==How to disclose==
{{further|BP:Conflict of interest#Paid editors}}
Editors who are or expect to be compensated for their contributions must disclose their employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any paid contributions. They must do this on their main user page, or on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or in edit summaries.

Paid editors who cannot disclose their employer, client, and affiliations are prohibited from editing. Non-disclosure agreements do not invalidate this requirement. There is no confidentiality for the employer, client, or affiliations.

It makes no difference if the paid editor writes the content off-site or in userspace and then another editor moves the material into mainspace [[BP:MEAT|on their behalf]]. Both editors are required to make a disclosure.

The [[BP:COIDISCLOSEPAY|conflict of interest guideline]] further very strongly advises editors to both place the {{txl|connected contributor (paid)}} template at the top of the talk page accompanying any paid contributions (and to fill in the parameters), and to supply a clearly visible list of their paid contributions on their main user page. The template {{txl|paid}} can be used for this.

Paid editors must also provide links on their Bharatpedia user page to all active accounts at websites where they advertise, solicit or obtain paid Bharatpedia-editing services. If such an account is deleted or removed, any corresponding links on the Bharatpedia user page must remain visible for at least one week. Additionally, paid editors must provide links to the user page(s) of their Bharatpedia account(s) on each website on which they advertise, solicit or obtain paid editing services, as well as in direct communications with each client and potential client (such as through email). If the paid editor has used or controlled more than one Bharatpedia account, each account must be disclosed.

This transparency helps the Bharatpedia community to understand and analyze the source and scope of paid editing, and to ensure that content originating from paid editors complies with Bharatpedia's policies and guidelines.

==Bharatpedians in residence==
Bharatpedians in residence who are paid must disclose which organization pays them.
==Administrators==
Administrators making paid edits are subject to the same disclosure requirements as all other users, and are not permitted to use special privileges for paid editing. The administrator policy states: ''Administrator tools may not be used as part of any paid editing activity, except as a Bharatpedian-in-Residence".

==Promotion and advertising by paid editors==
Paid editors [[BP:PROMO|may not advertise or promote their services]] on Bharatpedia. The disclosures required by the terms of use and this policy are not regarded as advertisements or promotion.

==Changing this policy{{anchor|change}}==
This policy may be changed in two ways:
* An alternative policy can revoke the disclosure provision of the terms of use as it applies to Bharatpedia and replace it with a new policy, which may be stronger or weaker. A proposed alternative policy must be clearly identified in a [[BP:RFC|request for comment]] (RfC) as revoking the WMF policy. Upon approval, the new policy must be listed on the alternative-disclosure policy page. The RfC must be conducted in a manner consistent with the standard consensus-based process for establishing core policies.
* Other changes to this policy that do not seek to revoke or weaken the terms of use are permitted, consistent with community practice for adding such material.

When discussing changes to the policy, disclose whether you have been paid to edit Bharatpedia.

==Conflict of interest guideline==
Paid editing is further regulated by a community guideline, [[Bharatpedia:Conflict of interest]]. This advises that those with a conflict of interest, including paid editors, are '''very strongly discouraged''' from directly editing affected articles, but should post content proposals on the talk pages of existing articles, and should put new articles through the [[BP:AFC|articles for creation]] process, so they can be reviewed prior to being published.

==Reporting undisclosed paid editors==
If you believe an editor is conducting undisclosed paid editing as defined by this policy, please report it to the [[Bharatpedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents|Administrators' Noticeboard (Incidents)]] or the Conflict of Interest Noticeboard if it does not involve [[BP:OUTING|revealing the private information]] of an editor. Otherwise, please email {{NoSpam|info|bharatpedia.org}} with why you believe an editor is engaged in paid editing and there is private information. You may also email a member of the CheckUser team directly. If you are unsure whether information is private, use one of the email contacts in the first instance.

The Bharatmedia Foundation is a nonprofit organization that operates collaborative, free knowledge websites, like [[Main Page|Bharatpedia]], Bharatdata, etc.

This Policy explains how we collect, use, and share your Personal Information.

{{Privacypolicy/Right

The Bharatmedia movement is founded on a simple, but powerful principle: we can do more together than any of us can do alone. We cannot work collectively without gathering, sharing, and analyzing information about our users as we seek new ways to make the Bharatmedia Sites more usable, safer, and more beneficial.

We believe that information-gathering and use should go hand-in-hand with transparency. This Privacy Policy explains how the Bharatmedia Foundation, the non-profit organization that hosts the Bharatmedia Sites, like Bharatpedia, collects, uses, and shares information we receive from you through your use of the Bharatmedia Sites. It is essential to understand that, by using any of the Bharatmedia Sites, you consent to the collection, transfer, processing, storage, disclosure, and use of your information as described in this Privacy Policy. That means that reading this Policy carefully is important.

We believe that you shouldn't have to provide nonpublic Personal Information to participate in the free knowledge movement. You do not have to provide things like your real name, address, or date of birth to sign up for a standard account or contribute content to the Bharatmedia Sites.

{{anchor|donotsell}}We do not sell or rent your Personal Information, nor do we give it to others to sell you anything. We use it to figure out how to make the Bharatmedia Sites more engaging and accessible, to see which ideas work, and to make learning and contributing more fun. Put simply: we use this information to make the Bharatmedia Sites better for you.

After all, it's people like you, the champions of free knowledge, who make it possible for the Bharatmedia Sites to not only exist, but also grow and thrive.

This is to protect Bharatmedia users and project content; in the event of abuse, IP addresses may be associated with usernames as part of an investigation. No other Personal Information is required: no name, no email address, no date of birth, and no credit card information.

Once created, user accounts cannot be removed entirely (although you can usually hide the information on your user page if you choose to). This is because your public contributions must be associated with their author (you!). In some circumstances, the Bharatmedia communities can assist users with removing additional information related to their accounts from the projects.

To gain a better understanding of the demographics of our users, to localize our services and to learn how we can improve our services, we may ask you for more demographic information, such as gender or age, about yourself. We will tell you if such information is intended to be public or private so that you can make an informed decision about whether you want to provide us with that information. Providing such information is always completely optional. If you don't want to, you don't have to—it's as simple as that.

This information includes the type of device you are using (possibly including unique device identification numbers, for some beta versions of our mobile applications), the type and version of your [[Bharatpedia:Privacy policy/Glossary of key terms#Browsers|browser]], your browser's language preference, the type and version of your device's [[Bharatpedia:Privacy policy/Glossary of key terms#Operating System|operating system]], in some cases the name of your internet service provider or mobile carrier, the website that referred you to the Bharatmedia Sites, which pages you request and visit, and the date and time of each request you make to the Bharatmedia Sites.

Put simply, we use this information to enhance your experience with Bharatmedia Sites. For example, we use this information to administer the sites, provide greater security, and fight vandalism; optimize mobile applications, customize content and set language preferences, test features to see what works, and improve performance; understand how users interact with the Bharatmedia Sites, track and study use of various features, gain understanding about the demographics of the different Bharatmedia Sites, and analyze trends.

====Information We Collect====
}}
{{Privacypolicy/Left|content=
We use a variety of commonly-used technologies, like cookies, to understand how you use the Bharatmedia Sites, make our services safer and easier to use, and to help create a better and more customizable experience for you.
}}
{{Privacypolicy/Right|content=
We actively collect some types of information with a variety of commonly-used technologies. These generally include [[Bharatpedia:Privacy policy/Glossary of key terms#Tracking Pixel|tracking pixels]], [[Bharatpedia:Privacy policy/Glossary of key terms#JavaScript|JavaScript]], and a variety of "locally stored data" technologies, such as [[Bharatpedia:Privacy policy/Glossary of key terms#Cookies|cookies]] and [[Bharatpedia:Privacy policy/Glossary of key terms#Local Storage|local storage]]. These types of technologies may also be used in online tools on a third-party site that loads information from the Bharatmedia Sites. We realize that some of these technologies do not have the best reputation in town and can be used for less-than-noble purposes. So we want to be as clear as we can about why we use these methods and the type of information we collect with them.

Depending on which technology we use, locally stored data may include text, Personal Information (like your [[Bharatpedia:Privacy policy/Glossary of key terms#Internet Protocol Address|IP address]]), and information about your use of the Bharatmedia Sites (like your username or the time of your visit). See below for more information.

We use this information to make your experience with the Bharatmedia Sites safer and better, to gain a greater understanding of user preferences and their interaction with the Bharatmedia Sites, and to generally improve our services. We will never use third-party cookies unless we get your permission to do so. If you ever come across a third-party data collection tool that has not been authorized by you (such as one that may have been mistakenly placed by another user or administrator), please report it to us at [mailto:info@bharatpedia.org info@bharatpedia.org].

{{Hidden
|header=More on Locally Stored Data
|content=
Locally stored data, JavaScript, and tracking pixels help us do things like:

* Provide you with a customizable experience, such as using cookies to know your language preference, to remember the user preferences you set so we can provide you with the customized look and feel that you want, and to tell you about interesting Bharatmedia issues and events in your area.
* Deliver more relevant content to you faster. For example, we use local storage to store your most recently read articles directly on your device, so they can be retrieved quickly. Also, we use cookies to learn about the topics searched so that we can optimize the search results we deliver to you.
* Understand how you use the Bharatmedia Sites so that we know what works and what is useful. For example, we might use cookies to learn about the list of articles you are following on your watchlist so that we can recommend similar articles that you may be interested in.
* Understand how you use the Bharatmedia Sites across different devices so that we can make our varied Bharatmedia Sites more efficient and effective for you.
* Make the Bharatmedia Sites more convenient to use, such as by using cookies to maintain your session when you log in or to remember your username in the login field.

{{anchor|LimitStorageReturn}}
We believe this data collection helps improve your user experience, but you may remove or disable some or all locally stored data through your browser settings, depending on your browser. You can learn more about some options you have in our [[:Privacy policy/FAQ#limitstorageFAQ|FAQ]]. While locally stored data may not be necessary to use our sites, some features will not function properly if you disable locally stored data.

{{anchor|PublicLogsReturn}}
While the examples above concerning information about you collected through the use of data collection tools are kept confidential in accordance with this Policy, please note that some information about the actions taken by your username is made publicly available through [[Privacy_policy/FAQ#publiclogsFAQ|public logs]] alongside actions taken by other users. For example, a public log may include the date your account was created on a Bharatmedia Site along with the dates that other accounts were created on a Bharatmedia Site.

We use this location information to make your experience with the Bharatmedia Sites safer and better, to gain a greater understanding of user preferences and their interaction with the Bharatmedia Sites, and to generally improve our services. For example, we use this information to provide greater security, optimize mobile applications, and learn how to expand and better support Bharatmedia communities.

We will disclose your Personal Information to public authorities or other persons in response to an official legal process only if we believe it to be legally valid. See also our [[Requests for user information procedures & guidelines|Requests for user information procedures and guidelines]]. We will notify you of such requests when possible. We do so to further our legitimate interest and/or to comply with our legal obligations.
}}
{{Privacypolicy/Right|content=
We will access, use, preserve, and/or disclose your Personal Information if we reasonably believe it necessary to satisfy a valid and legally enforceable warrant, subpoena, court order, law or regulation, or other judicial or administrative order. However, if we believe that a particular request for disclosure of a user's information is legally invalid or an abuse of the legal system and the affected user does not intend to oppose the disclosure themselves, we will try our best to fight it. We are committed to notifying you via email at least ten (10) calendar days, when possible, before we disclose your Personal Information in response to a legal demand. However, we may only provide notice if we are not legally restrained from contacting you, there is no credible threat to life or limb that is created or increased by disclosing the request, and you have provided us with an email address.

Nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to limit any legal objections or defenses you may have to a third-party's request (whether it be civil, criminal, or governmental) to disclose your Personal Information. We recommend seeking the advice of legal counsel immediately if such a request is made involving you.

{{Privacypolicy/Left|content=
We, or users with certain administrative rights, use and disclose Personal Information that is reasonably necessary to:
* enforce or investigate potential violations of the Bharatmedia Foundation or community-based policies;
* protect our organization, infrastructure, employees, contractors, or the public; or
* prevent imminent or serious bodily harm or death to a person.

We do so to manage our relationship with you, to further our legitimate interest, and/or to comply with our legal obligations.
}}
{{Privacypolicy/Right|content=
We, or particular users with certain administrative rights as described below, need to use and share your Personal Information if it is reasonably believed to be necessary to enforce or investigate potential violations of our [[wmf:Terms of Use|Terms of Use]], this Privacy Policy, or any Bharatmedia Foundation or user community-based policies. We may also need to access and share Personal Information to investigate and defend ourselves against legal threats or actions.

Bharatmedia Sites are collaborative, with users writing most of the policies and selecting from amongst themselves people to hold certain administrative rights. These rights may include access to limited amounts of otherwise nonpublic information about recent contributions and activity by other users. They use this access to help protect against vandalism and abuse, fight harassment of other users, and generally try to minimize disruptive behavior on the Bharatmedia Sites. These various user-selected administrative groups have their own privacy and confidentiality guidelines, but all such groups are supposed to agree to follow our [[Access to nonpublic information policy|Access to Nonpublic Information Policy]]. These user-selected administrative groups are accountable to other users through checks and balances: users are selected through a community-driven process and overseen by their peers through a logged history of their actions. However, the legal names of these users are not known to the Bharatmedia Foundation.

We hope that this never comes up, but we may disclose your Personal Information if we believe that it's reasonably necessary to prevent imminent and serious bodily harm or death to a person, or to protect our organization, employees, contractors, users, or the public. We may also disclose your Personal Information if we reasonably believe it necessary to detect, prevent, or otherwise assess and address potential spam, malware, fraud, abuse, unlawful activity, and security or technical concerns.

For further information, please see our [[:Privacy policy/FAQ#thirdpartyshareexamplesFAQ|FAQ]].

If you are visiting Bharatmedia Sites with your mobile device, we use your IP address to provide anonymized or aggregated information to service providers regarding the volume of usage in certain areas.

The open-source software that powers the Bharatmedia Sites depends on the contributions of volunteer software developers, who spend time writing and testing code to help it improve and evolve with our users' needs. To facilitate their work, we give some developers limited access to systems that contain your Personal Information, but only as reasonably necessary for them to develop and contribute to the Bharatmedia Sites.

Similarly, we share non-Personal Information or aggregated information with researchers, scholars, academics, and other interested third parties who wish to study the Bharatmedia Sites. Sharing this Personal Information helps them understand usage, viewing, and demographics statistics and patterns. They then can share their findings with us and our users so that we can all better understand and improve the Bharatmedia Sites.

When we give access to Personal Information to third-party developers or researchers, we put requirements, such as reasonable technical and contractual protections, in place to help ensure that these service providers treat your Personal Information consistently with the principles of this Policy and in accordance with our instructions. If these developers or researchers later publish their work or findings, we ask that they not disclose your Personal Information. Please note that, despite the obligations we impose on developers and researchers, we cannot guarantee that they will abide by our agreement, nor do we guarantee that we will regularly screen or audit their projects.

Bharatpedia:Request an account

2026-07-11T05:32:17Z

Bot: clean up

{{short description|How to request a Bharatpedia account}}
__NOTOC__

{{redirect|BP:ACC|arbitration clerks|the account creator user right|Bharatpedia:Account creator}}
{{Redirect|BP:RAC|the Bharatpedia essay about redirects|Bharatpedia:Redirects are cheap|the related essay|Bharatpedia:Redirects are costly|requesting article creation|BP:RA}}
{{Bharatpedia:Request an account/WelcomeHeader}}

To prevent the automated creation of Bharatpedia accounts using [[Intelligent agent|bots]] or [[Scripting language|scripts]], Bharatpedia uses an image verification method (called a [[CAPTCHA]]) to assure that new accounts are being created by a real person. To further combat account creation abuse, Bharatpedia also prevents the creation of new accounts with usernames that are too similar to other existing Bharatpedia accounts.

If you have attempted to [[Special:UserLogin|create an account]] but are having trouble with the [[CAPTCHA]] image verification step (perhaps because you are using a [[screen reader]] or a browser that does not support images), or if you have chosen a username that is too similar to an existing username, you can '''request an account''' be created for you.
{{UsernamePolicy}}

===Instructions===
''To request an account using the 'Request an Account' process, please read and follow '''all''' of the instructions below:''

====Before you begin====

*'''Review and understand Bharatpedia's [[Bharatpedia:Username policy|Username Policy]]''', as any account request for a username that is in violation of this policy will not be approved.
*'''Remember that you should generally [[Bharatpedia:Sockpuppetry|only use one Bharatpedia account]]'''.<ref>Minus the exceptions that allow for the [[BP:VALIDALT|legitimate]] creation and use of alternative accounts. See Bharatpedia's [[Bharatpedia:Sock puppetry|sock puppetry]] policy for more information.</ref> <span style="color:red;font-weight:bold;">You are required to disclose ''all'' of your alternative and previously used accounts in your request using the 'Comments' field.</span> Any account requests that show evidence or the indication that you have ownership of an undisclosed account will not be approved. Any requests made with the intention of using the account as an [[BP:ILLEGIT|illegitimate]] alternative (such as to hide edits or conduct, evade or circumvent [[Bharatpedia:Blocking policy|blocks]] or [[Bharatpedia:General sanctions|sanctions]], or cause [[Bharatpedia:Disruptive editing|disruption]]) will not be approved. Additionally, your attempt(s) may be reported, and may result in additional sanctions.
*Understand that '''this is ''not'' the place to request assistance with the deletion or recovery of any existing accounts'''. If you have forgotten your password, and you did not register your account with an e-mail address, then it cannot be recovered. Your only option is to create a new account and request a [[BP:Changing username/Usurpations|usurpation]] of your old username.
*'''Register an email address''' if you do not have one. You must verify your email address in order to complete your account request. Your account must also have your email address in order for it to be recovered in the event that you lose the ability to access it.

====When you are ready to begin====

{{#switch: {{User:SQL/ACC/on}} | yes = # Click the "''Request an account''" link below, and a [[wizard (software)|wizard]] will help with assisting you. If you're directed to complete a form in order to request an account, '''fill out ''all'' fields'''. | no = '''E-mail''' accounts-enwiki-l[[Image:Nospam at.svg]]lists.wikimedia.org with the username of your choice. Be sure that your desired username is not already in use by checking [[Special:CentralAuth|here]]. }}
# Check your e-mail inbox for updates and further instructions regarding your account request.
#* If your request is approved and your account has been created successfully, you will receive an automated e-mail from '''{{NonSpamEmail|info|bharatpedia.org}}''' with your username and a randomly generated password to your new account. You can use these credentials to [[Special:UserLogin|log in]], where you will then be prompted to create a new password.
#* If there are problems with your request, you will receive an email with an explanation and the reason your account request could not be approved. You are welcome to submit a new account request using a different username.

===Didn't receive your account update email?===

We hope to process an account request the same day of its submission. However, it is not uncommon for requests to take 2-3 days depending on the work load and volume of requests currently pending review. In rare cases (such as server downtime or the sudden submission of an extremely high amount of legitimate account requests), requests may take longer. Please be patient; your request will be processed as soon as possible.

'''Before submitting a new request or inquiring about the progress of your current request:'''

* '''Check your email's "spam" folder.''' Most often, the email was mistakenly flagged as spam.
* '''Verify that the account update email wasn't accidentally moved or otherwise triggered by any email filters or rules that you have set up for your inbox.''' Check all of your directories and sub-directories, and search for ''{{NonSpamEmail|info|bharatpedia.org}}'' to see if it arrived.
* '''Did you request an account using an email address from [[Gmail]]?''' Your ACC request update may have been automatically filtered into one of the five default Category tabs that are enabled by default (usually the "Social" or "Promotions" category). Check each category and verify that the email wasn't automatically routed from your inbox and into one of them.
* '''Try [[Special:PasswordReset|recovering the account]] that you requested.''' If your request was approved and you just didn't receive the email containing your temporary password, you can have a new password generated and emailed to you by filling out Bharatpedia's password reset form.

Hi Kamal Guha, I just wanted to let you know that I have <span class="plainlinks">[//en.bharatpedia.org.in/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights&page=User%3AKamal_Guha added]</span> the "{{mono|autopatrolled}}" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the autopatrolled right, see [[Bharatpedia:Autopatrolled]]. However, you should consider adding stub-tags and categories to new articles that you create if you aren't already in the habit of doing so, since your articles will no longer be systematically checked by other editors.

Welcome to Bharatpedia!

Bharatpedia is written almost exclusively by volunteers — people from across the world, just like you. This means that sometimes it contains incorrect information, either accidentally or deliberately.

If you find some incorrect information, there are a few things you can do.
# First, you can fix it yourself! Anyone can edit Bharatpedia. Just hit the "edit" button on the top right of the page, make the correction, and hit "Publish changes". If you want to learn more about editing, try [[Help:Contents/Editing Bharatpedia|our help pages]].
# If you can't or don't want to fix an error, your best approach is to leave a note at the [[Help:Talk page|talk page]] of the article explaining the problem.
# For vandalism, it is best just to [[Help:Simple guide to vandalism cleanup|fix it directly yourself]]; however, if you cannot fix it, you can email {{tt|{{nospam|info|bharatpedia.org}}}} and include the address or title of the article and a description of the vandalism. If you do email, please include the address or title of the article and a description of the issue. Note that this volunteer team ''cannot'' assist you in writing entirely new articles, answering questions about things not found on Bharatpedia, or resolving disputes about content.

If we don't have an article on what you're looking for, you can [[Bharatpedia:Requested articles|add it to the list of requested articles]]. This unfortunately doesn't ''necessarily'' mean that it will be written immediately, or ever. If we do have an article but it doesn't include what you were looking for, or you just want the answer to a specific question, you can [[Bharatpedia:Reference desk|ask at the reference desk]]: our volunteers are always happy to help!

<center>[[Bharatpedia:Plus#How to subscribe|{{Clickable button|Subscribe now|color=blue}}]]</center>

Bharatpedia+ is an opt-in paid subscription plan that lets everyone have an article published on Bharatpedia on any topic, bypassing the notability policies. This means that individuals or organizations can pay to have their articles published on the site under some conditions, regardless of whether their subject matter meets the traditional standards of notability.

It was introduced in April 2023, with an aim to raise funds for the platform and expand its offerings to its users. At the same time, the paid subscription plan will not compromise the core principles Bharatpedia stands for. The platform will continue to prioritize accuracy, neutrality, and verifiability, and will ensure that all articles meet these standards, regardless of whether they are paid for or not.

==Availability==
The paid subscription service is globally accessible, allowing individuals and organizations to submit their articles by providing genuine and verifiable information.

Bharatpedia is highly respected by search engines like Google for SEO purposes, offering the opportunity for higher search rankings and boosted traffic to websites and social media channels. It's important to keep in mind that the creation of a Google knowledge panel is not guaranteed and is subject to factors such as article demand and Google's internal processes.

Finally, by contributing to Bharatpedia through the paid subscription plan, individuals and organizations are also supporting the platform's mission to provide accurate and verifiable information to the public. This can help promote transparency and accountability, as well as contribute to the overall knowledge base on a variety of topics.
