Hello, {{subst:PAGENAME}}, and welcome to Bharatpedia! Thank you for [[Special:Contributions/{{subst:PAGENAME}}|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 my talk page, or ask a question on your talk page. Oh, and please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your username and the date. Again, welcome!

Hello Lucasraven12. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Bharatpedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Bharatpedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Bharatpedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; Bharatpedia regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.
Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.
Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Lucasraven12. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Lucasraven12|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. WikiDwarf (talk) 15:01, 2 June 2021 (IST)
As previously advised, your edits give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at User:Lucasraven12, and the template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Lucasraven12|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. WikiDwarf (talk) 17:33, 6 June 2021 (IST)
