Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

• adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
• comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
• follow editorial and behavioural best practices;
• comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
• refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures, you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Declined speedy deletion: O Positiv

Hi there, and thank you for all your help making Wikipedia better! I wanted to let you know that I have declined your G4 speedy deletion nomination of O Positiv. In this case, the AfD was in May 2023, and the article has multiple sources published since then. As such, it does not qualify for G4. If you have any follow-up questions, please let me know.

Content Removal

Hi there, I want to ask about the removal of the content on Sumant Sinha. The content stated facts which has been removed. For instance, Sumant is the Founder as well as Chairman of ReNew Energy Global, Awards and Recognition section had awards that had been internationally recognized. Secondly, on ReNew Energy Global, the close connection(COI) tag was removed because over time multiple editors worked on the page and resolved the issues. Andrewjenner75 (talk) 22:21, 14 March 2025 (UTC)

I have explained the removals in the edit summaries. For example, you simply cannot write in a promotional tone, as seen in: The company has funded initiatives that have impacted over a million people including climate education, school electrification, women in energy, and water conservation. The awards section contained an indiscriminate list of self-serving recognitions that only the individual or his company would find significant. Only notable awards should be mentioned, preferably in the body itself. Read WP:SOAPBOX.

Additionally, there were content-source mismatches; for instance, this source does not support the claim that Sinha is a regular speaker at the WEF. That entire paragraph had a strong whiff of WP:NOTCV and was therefore removed. Furthermore, Wikipedia discourages the word WP:SOLUTION, and does not address people by their first name (Sumant) instead of surname (Sinha) per MOS:SURNAME.

All these actions are commonly associated with people having WP:COI or engaged in WP:UPE. I advise you make the required disclosures and refrain from editing these two pages until you have provided a clarification. Could you also confirm if you are connected to Platinumarrow (talk · contribs), who added most of the promotional content I removed–on the very same day that your account was created? Since you raised the topic of content removal, could you explain why you removed the fact that Sumant Sinha is the son of Yashwant Sinha?

There are too many red flags in the edit histories of these two pages for me to not restore the COI tag, regardless of your COI status. Yuvaank (talk) 15:54, 15 March 2025 (UTC)

The awards section contained internationally recognized awards. The awards: the Outstanding Start-up Award by Forbes, Distinguished Alumni Awards from top global institutes (IIT Delhi, IIM Calcutta, Columbia University), Chief Trailblazer of the Year by S&P Global Platts (whose parent company is S&P Global), and Global Climate Leader in the Time100 Climate List are not self-serving recognitions but well-established international accolades. Dismissing them as insignificant is inaccurate.

Regarding the removal of the line about Sumant Sinha being Yashwant Sinha’s son—this information is already clearly stated in the infobox, making its repetition in the body unnecessary. There's no need for redundancy.

I have no WP:COI and am not engaged in WP:UPE . Making such assumptions without evidence is baseless. Secondly, I have no connection to Platinumarrow. My edits were made in accordance with Wikipedia’s guidelines, ensuring that only relevant, verifiable and properly sourced content remains.

I do not need to make any disclosures because there is nothing to disclose. Accusing editors without solid proof only discourages constructive contributions. I will continue editing in line with Wikipedia’s policies, and I expect discussions to be based on facts, not assumptions.Andrewjenner75 (talk) 17:12, 15 March 2025 (UTC)

I did not make any assumption. I simply asked you to make the requisite disclosure if you have a COI, which is a reasonable ask given the nature of your edits. You say you don't have a COI, yet you are defending promotional additions, including those made by an obvious WP:SPA, who is not connected to you.

Almost all of those awards were either bog standard industry/trade awards (Platts Global Energy Awards, Solar Week Leadership Awards, Renewable Energy India Awards, etc) or pay-for-play/vanity recognitions (Stevie Awards, National Awards for Excellence in Renewable Energy, "Champion Of Tomorrow" by CEO Awards, etc). You need to be able to tell the difference between a notable and non-notable award. Just because something is verifiable does not make it fit for inclusion on Wikipedia, see WP:NOT and below:

• Sinha did not win the EY Entrepreneur of the Year for 2017, not even the overall Indian version of it. He won in one of the ten categories (Energy, Real Estate and Infrastructure) within the Indian version of the awards .
• Similarly, the Forbes India Leadership Awards names a bunch of winners each year with the most random labels like "Conscious Capitalist", "Ecosystem Enabler", "Institution Builder" and whatnot. Notability aside, that Outstanding Startup Award was was actually awarded to ReNew, as the name suggests .
• Alumnus awards are almost never noteworthy because they are given out by the institution from which that person graduated.
• Sinha is one of the 100 people named on the Time100 Climate 2024. Time produces multiple such lists in various categories every year. Do you think we go around mentioning Time100 <Random Category> <Year> on thousands of articles?
• Only the Economic Times Entrepreneur of the Year might have some encyclopedic value and it is already mentioned in the body of the article.

MOS:INFOBOXPURPOSE clearly states that The purpose of an infobox is to summarize, but not supplant, the key facts that appear in an article. The infobox summarizes what's already in the body of the article, not the other way around. Please do not remove the key fact that he is the son of Yashwant Sinha again.

Coforge

Hi Yuvaank, With due respect, I am writing to you regarding an edit on Coforge page, i noticed you are continuously reverting my edits on this page. I removed the COI tag which is added by a sock series and also removed the promotional and PR version and added factual information. Can you please clarify what is promotional in my edits here. Nathoor (talk) 03:40, 17 September 2025 (UTC)

Everything you have added is promotional. Since you are a WP:SPA, you need to disclose any COI you might have with this company and request changes via Template:Edit COI. Yuvaank (talk) 03:54, 17 September 2025 (UTC)

Articles to review

Hi there, can I ask how you've come up with the list at User:Yuvaank/sandbox? Are these just articles you're blundering into while reading or doing normal editing and you want to get back to them, or? If it's too WP:BEANS, feel free to email. -- asilvering (talk) 22:24, 4 October 2025 (UTC)

It's a combination of several things. The primary starting point is the dozens of categories I have watchlisted for the purpose of reviewing recent edits or new article creations. For instance, the two newest entries on the list—Paytm Travel and HCLSoftware—were ones I happened to stumble upon here and here, respectively.

I've also come across a lot of these articles over the course of normal editing. Say when an editor adds promotional content to an article in one of my watchlisted categories or defends a spammy article at an AfD, I look over their contributions to see what other articles they've edited or created, and then add any suspicious ones to the list so I can revisit them later for a closer WP:BEFORE check or to perform a cleanup when I have more time. On some occasions, I noticed a chain of accounts with overlapping editing patterns; I reported the most egregious of such connections to SPI and, for the rest, I simply added the related articles to my list.

I'm aware that the list is now being viewed by multiple editors daily, and some of them have draftified or nominated these articles for AfD. Although that wasn't my original intention, I later figured there's no harm if others want to chip in with the cleanup, especially since the list had grown too long for one editor to handle alone. If maintaining such a list publicly is considered inappropriate, I'd be happy to take it down and keep it privately on my computer instead. Yuvaank (talk) 01:30, 5 October 2025 (UTC)

No harm in the list at all, so don't worry about that. I was intrigued that you often only add a single company at a time, which suggested a different entry point than I would usually be coming from (maint templates or user contributions). -- asilvering (talk) 02:01, 5 October 2025 (UTC)

The solo additions would be articles from different categories or different accounts being checked. Lately, I've been adding more than one article at once even if I find them in different places, like I did earlier with Libas (which I found in this category which was linked above) and GlobalPay (from this category). These articles are are usually unrelated to each other, unless there's an obvious connection like this. Yuvaank (talk) 03:53, 5 October 2025 (UTC)

Reverted my edits

Hello Yuvaank! You reverted my edits at Jio and Jio Platforms citing MOS:GEOLINK. Perhaps you haven't noticed what MOS:GEOLINK actually suggests, let me tell you how it goes –

It suggests to avoid:

• N Sydney, Australia ([[Sydney]], [[Australia]])
• N Quothquan, South Lanarkshire, Scotland ([[Quothquan]], [[South Lanarkshire]], [[Scotland]])
• N Buffalo, New York, United States ([[Buffalo, New York|Buffalo]], [[New York (state)|New York]], [[United States]])

Instead, use:

• Y Sydney, Australia ([[Sydney]], Australia)
• Y Quothquan, South Lanarkshire, Scotland ([[Quothquan]], South Lanarkshire, Scotland)
• Y Buffalo, New York, United States ([[Buffalo, New York]], United States)

As you can see, it suggests not to link a Country, Province or Prefecture.

So as the result, you should have removed the wikilinks, not the entire word. I hope you will keep that in mind from now on while you go to revert someone's edit.

Thanks and regards! – 𝙰𝚔𝚜𝚑𝚊𝚍𝚎𝚟™ ^🗿 06:25, 10 October 2025 (UTC)

There's only one city named Mumbai in India and it's a well known city, so it is unnecessary to specify the state in the MOS:LEADSENTENCE of every single article where Mumbai is mentioned, unless the article itself is about a geographic feature or physical structure (see MOS:FIRSTLOCATION). We also don't follow the American city naming format of Buffalo, New York, or Austin, Texas, for Indian cities, unless it is a necessary disambiguator to differentiate cities like Aurangabad, Maharashtra and Aurangabad, Bihar. Yuvaank (talk) 06:46, 10 October 2025 (UTC)

Regarding company valuation.

I have noticed that you kept on repeatedly removing company valuation from multiple articles. Could you please clarify why you kept on doing it. It's usually an acceptable practice to include the company valuation for larger private companies. You could check the articles of OpenAI, Anthropic, Stripe, xAI and a lot of other private firms article includes their valuation. It seems like you personally don't like including valuation to a company article and trying to remove it multiple times. Kenzamalaown (talk) 15:58, 26 October 2025 (UTC)

Because, the valuations mentioned on OpenAI, Anthropic, Stripe and xAI articles are based on actual investment transactions. Those valuation figures are hard facts, not some imaginary numbers dreamed up by desk analysts. In case of Jio Infocomm, different analysts have provided different valuation estimates ranging from $111 billion to $154 billion. For Reliance Retail, some analysts have pegged the valuation as low as $50 billion whereas JP Morgan has estimated it much higher at $143 billion. All these numbers are pure speculation and mentioning $143 billion would be WP:UNDUE promotion.

For Reliance Retail, you could mention the $100 billion valuation at which the last transaction happened, back in 2023 . It seems Jio Platforms last had a transaction in 2020 at $58 billion valuation, so you are free to add that fact. Yuvaank (talk) 17:05, 26 October 2025 (UTC)

All stationery company articles have a product section. Kindly revert. -Polytope4D (talk) 18:00, 2 December 2025 (UTC)

It looks like you are not clarifying your activities, and you have done the same thing again. Let me make it very clear that I am not any person hired by Kokuyo Camlin who is promoting their products; there is no paid promotion. Why are the product sections allowed on other stationery company article pages? Why are you not doing the same to other stationery brand pages?

Complete misuse of Power of Wikipedia Editing For 'SBI Card'

Hi @Yuvaank, we have not added any promotional materials on the Wikipedia Page. We have only added information on the page along with proper citation Links. Reverting the entire edit is a wrong thing you are doing. You are misusing your Wikipedia Editing power. Not a single Promotional or advertisement tone was used while updating information on the page. News sources were used as citations. Citations were also non promotional. You are blindly removing the entire information. This is ethically wrong. I am requesting @Ekabhishek, @Swdandap, @Drmies to kindly help on this matter.

Natco Pharma page edits – discussion

Hi, @Yuvaank

I noticed that my recent edits to the Natco Pharma page were reverted, so I wanted to reach out and discuss.

The updates I made were focused on improving the History section by adding verifiable, year-wise milestones with citations from reliable sources such as Moneycontrol, Economic Times, and Business Standard. I also ensured the content follows Wikipedia’s neutrality and formatting guidelines.

If there are specific concerns regarding sourcing, tone, or formatting, I would really appreciate your guidance so I can align the edits accordingly.

Happy to revise the content based on your suggestions.

Thank you for your time and help. MarkContributor (talk) 07:17, 9 April 2026 (UTC)

The sourcing in your edits is either weak or non-existent altogether. Since you have an apparent COI, you must not edit this page directly. I can see that you've already submitted a COI edit request on the talk page, so please wait for someone to respond. Yuvaank (talk) 07:28, 9 April 2026 (UTC)

Hi,

I understand the concerns regarding conflict of interest and will not be editing the page directly.

I would like to propose a few sourced updates to the History section based on reliable secondary sources such as Moneycontrol, Economic Times, and Business Standard.

Proposed additions (selected key milestones only or below am giving you full history for your understanding if possible please add):

• 2006 – Dehradun formulation facility commencement

• 2012 – Compulsory licence for Nexavar

• 2015 – Generic Sofosbuvir launch

• 2021 – Acquisition of Dash Pharmaceuticals

• 2025 – Stake acquisition in Adcock Ingram

All of the above are supported by independent sources.

Requesting you(Yuvaank) or an independent editor to review and add if appropriate.

Thank you.

Notice regarding WP:HOUNDING and recent reverts

Hi @YuvaankYuvaank.

Writing this to address a clear pattern of WP:HOUNDING here. Ever since the community consensus went against you in the Azim Premji RFC, you've been actively tracking my edit history across completely unrelated articles just to blanket-revert my work and throw administrative templates at me.

To be absolutely clear on my workflow: if a tool is used, its strictly as a syntax formatter and for structural copy-editing. The core text, research, and manual verification of every citation is entirely my own, and I proactively back them up with web archives so reverts like this arent warranted. Your repeated use of the phrase "hallucination slop" in edit summaries—whether tracking me to Tata Consultancy Services, Financial technology in India, or doing a blind mass-revert on Sameer Gehlaut—is factually incorrect about my process and violates the spirit of WP:CIVIL.

On a content level, I'm genuinely curious why your consistently acting as a firewall against well-documented, top-tier reporting on high-profile corporate figures. That directly conflicts with WP:NPOV. Our job is to reflect independent journalism, not to protect individuals from verified and widely publicized controversies.

I know the Azim Premji RFC was a long one, and im glad the admins stepped in to help us lock in the consensus, but let's leave that in the past. Please don't take standard editorial disagreements personally or let egos get in the way. This pattern of WP:HOUNDING across my history needs to stop. Lets hit reset, assume good faith, and just focus on improving the encyclopedia.

Happy editing. Niranjan Ramamurthy (talk) 01:26, 25 April 2026 (UTC)

Yuvaank (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log) • SI)

---

Request reason:

I'm not engaged in paid editing, neither have I made promotional edits to any topic; I have been very active in UPE/spam fighting and SPI reporting. This block is the cost of publicly tracking the activities of experienced paid editing rings and filing dozens of successful SPI reports against them. I'm sure that one of the several disgruntled paid editing groups affected by my SPI reports has attempted to frame evidence against me. After their previous attempt to have me blocked failed, it's obvious they'd file the bogus evidence through a private ticket. If I were engaged in sockpuppetry, I'm sure the alleged sockpuppet accounts should be identifiable. Yuvaank (talk) 23:59, 5 May 2026 (UTC)

@331dot: Here's some context as to who might have filed the VRT ticket with the bogus evidence. Notice how, within hours of my block, an SPA–who is making their first ever mainspace edit, already knows what sockpuppetry is, and is also aware of my block–jumps in to reinsert promotional material at Coforge. A very experienced sock/meatpuppet group connected to GermanKity has been trying to add this promotional material for several months. Editing overlaps at Coforge have been key evidence in the GermanKity SPI across multiple reports over the years. Taabii, who filed the bogus SPI report against me in September, is part of the same paid editing ring but was blocked under a different SPI. I had discovered and reported the modus operandi of this paid editing ring here and more recently here. Funny how another unregistered account is also similarly not only aware of sockpuppetry but also that I'm blocked just hours after my block. Do you hear the quacks too?

With the above context in mind, I ask that you revisit the VRT ticket and consider whether the purported evidence may have been fabricated, backdated, or staged by this highly experienced paid editing ring (which included accounts that held NPP and AfC permissions), similar to the evidence in the failed SPI report they filed against me in September.

It's also worth mentioning that Konacsi, a long-term SPA on Bajaj Group articles, returned from their inactivity of 3.5 months to reinsert the promotional material that I had deleted. Of course Paytm Travel and Paytm Money were also recreated by another SPA who is WP:!HERE for promotion. It's no coincidence that the Bajaj Group articles in question, along with Paytm Travel and Paytm Money, are on my spam watchlist. Yuvaank (talk) 02:05, 6 May 2026 (UTC)

Obviously we're limited in what we can tell you about a private ticket, but the concern was that you were a sockpuppet of Maduant, as evidenced by similar language and behavior. There was also a separate ticket claiming that you treat articles related to the Adani Group more favorably than others. If there's anything you want to say about those concerns, please go ahead, although we're well aware of the ulterior motives that reporters often have in this area, so I'd discourage you from focusing too much on that aspect.
