  Hello, I'm Edwardx. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Abi Sampa have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. Edwardx (talk) 10:39, 16 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello Edwardx,
Thank you for your feedback. I understand the concern regarding promotional content, and I apologize if my contribution seemed to violate Wikipedia’s policies. My intent was to add verifiable information regarding Abi Sampa’s recognition in the 2024 Asian Achievers Awards.
I would appreciate any guidance on how I could present this information more neutrally and objectively, in line with Wikipedia’s standards. I’ve reviewed the guidelines and would like to rephrase it as follows:
“Abi Sampa and Rushil Ranjan were listed as finalists in the Arts and Culture category of the 2024 Asian Achievers Awards held in London.”
I will ensure the information is well-sourced and neutral. Please let me know your thoughts.
Best regards,

Adding nominations for a non-notable award, and with only a primary source, appears promotional. Do you have any connection to LaasyaGadi, who has added similar content to those articles? 10:51, 17 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hello,
Thank you for your message. I would like to clarify that LaasyaGadi is a team member, and we both work together on contributing content. Initially, Laasya added the information about the Asian Achievers Awards nomination using our company account, but she was unsure if it was appropriate to do so from a company-affiliated account. Based on the advice to use the Talk page, she left a comment but did not receive a response.
I later tried to add the information from my personal account, believing that it might be the correct way to proceed. I now understand the need for neutral, verifiable sources and clarity in how contributions should be made.
Since then, we have gathered additional independent sources, so the information is no longer reliant on just a primary source. If you're open to it, I would like to present these new references and ensure that any updates meet Wikipedia's neutrality and verifiability standards.
Thank you for your time, and I appreciate any guidance you can provide to improve this contribution.
Best regards,

You obviously have a conflcit of interest. Please propose any changes on article talk pages, such as Talk:Abi Sampa. But it will have to be something significant, with reliable secondary sources. Edwardx (talk) 12:09, 17 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hello Edwardx,
Thank you for the clarification. I understand the importance of Wikipedia’s conflict of interest policy and will make sure to adhere to it moving forward. I’m happy to propose any future changes on the Talk page, including the updated information with reliable secondary sources that we have gathered.
Would it be more appropriate for Laasya to handle the contributions directly, or would you recommend that we both continue using the Talk page to suggest edits and let uninvolved editors review them?
I appreciate your guidance and will follow whichever approach is best for ensuring neutrality and compliance with Wikipedia’s standards.
Best regards,
