Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a message letting you know that one or more of your recent edits to Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw has been undone by an automated computer program called ClueBot NG.

Photos

Hi Blacknclick: As I said at the ClueBot talk page, I have reverted the bot at Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw and attempted to report it as a false positive. Note that the message above from the bot includes information on how to do this; the bot is very sophisticated but does sometimes make mistakes. I apologise that this happened to you, and am also sorry that you were reverted on another article without a reason being given.

I've looked at your uploads on Commons and they do look very high quality. I suspect the humans - as opposed to the bots - are finding them rather too good to be true, wondering how you come to have access to so many prominent people, within only a month, and are able to take such excellent photographs of them. If you were indeed the photographer, congratulations and we're delighted to have you aboard. However, I trust you realise that by uploading them to Commons, you are relinquishing all right to direct how they are reused by anyone? And if you are merely processing pictures where someone else actually operated the camera, you should amend the statements at Commons accordingly, and make sure the copyright owner (almost always the photographer, even if they were paid for their work) has given permission for unrestricted reuse. We have many users, usually new, who do not understand the point about ownership of an image, and it's made some of our vandal patrollers suspicious of image replacements. Again, I regret that, but I hope that possible reason makes it more understandable. I've left a template at the top of this page welcoming you and giving links to policies and information pages. Again, welcome and thanks! Yngvadottir ( talk) 20:11, 19 November 2014 (UTC) reply

Thank you so much for the support and I am really happy about your comments about my photographs. Further, I am a good traveler and love to attend public functions to learn more social commitments. All the photographs I am uploading are under CC and I am well aware about the status of the photographs I am uploading. I am the owner and copyright holder and I have all the right to publish my photographs. I would love to upload more and more photographs to wiki and I will try to do as much as possible. Further, I am uploading photographs which has good EV and the other photographs will have artistic attraction are keeping with me. I understood the reason behind your question about the paid assignment, please don't bother about it, I am not clicking all these for somebody else.

Thank you so much for the support and keep supporting me to make a lot of valuable contributions to wiki.

Redundant photos

They're great photos, but you should follow WP:IMAGE RELEVANCE when deciding which articles to add them to. The Toothbrush article already had a photo of a similar-looking plain plastic brush in the lede, so did not need a second ("multiple images with very similar content is less useful" in the MOS) - since the existing photo had three different brushes in it, that seemed to be the one worth keeping. Your heavily-cropped photo of the Ear looked rather abstract, as if ears were detachable with little tabs on the side - a photo of an ear as it appears on the human head seems more useful to the reader ("images should look like what they are meant to illustrate").

Only my opinions, though, feel free to discuss both photos on the talk pages of the articles if you think there's a reason why they're appropriate. -- McGeddon ( talk) 06:59, 3 July 2015 (UTC) reply

Yes, I think it is relevant to show the human ear in context, I don't see that anything is gained from removing that context. And like I say, if the options are (1) one high-quality image of a single brush (2) one good-quality image of three different brushes and (3) both of those images together, even though the brush in the first image is similar to the brush in the second, I'd go for option 2.
Per WP:ONUS, the person wanting the image included should really be the one to start the discussion - I wouldn't want to accidentally misrepresent your reasons for wanting the pictures included. -- McGeddon ( talk) 12:00, 3 July 2015 (UTC) reply

Baselios Cleemis

Baselios Cleemis (born 15 June 1959) is the current major archbishop of the Syro-Malankara Catholic Church. He was elevated to the College of Cardinals by Pope Benedict XVI on 24 November 2012. Cleemis is the first bishop of the Syro-Malankara Church, and the fifth Keralite, to be created a cardinal. He said it was a sign of the Pope's appreciation of Indian Catholics' "unity in diversity", and cited the witness, the defence of human life, and the example of authentic prayer given by Mother Teresa.

Macrotyloma uniflorum

Macrotyloma uniflorum, commonly known as horse gram, is a legume native to tropical southern Asia. The plant grows from a rhizome, sending up annual shoots to a height of 60 cm (24 in). The flowers are cream, yellow or pale green and are followed by short pods. The seeds, pictured here, have been consumed in India for at least 4,000 years and are used both for animal feed and human consumption, including Ayurvedic cuisine. In other tropical countries in southeastern Asia, and in northern Australia, the plant is grown mainly as a fodder crop and for use as green manure. It is a drought-tolerant plant, largely cultivated in areas with low rainfall.

Hello Blacknclick. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Rocket Science (production company), gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are 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 by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Blacknclick. The template {{ Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Blacknclick|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. Hemiauchenia ( talk) 08:22, 29 July 2021 (UTC) reply
