Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Simplified Manual of Style
• Task Center – need some ideas of what kind of things need doing? Go here.

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
• Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Hello, I'm Nayyn. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Reciprocal human machine learning 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. See WP:SELFCITE Nayyn (talk) 20:45, 21 August 2025 (UTC)

Hi Nayyn. Thanks for addressing your concern. Since the page has already been developed by multiple editors and includes a broad range of references, I don’t believe the addition I made stands in conflict with the guidelines. The line I added (with the reference to the article I led) was intended only as a factual, sourced contribution.

I do understand the concern about COI, so I’d appreciate it if other editors could also review the reliability and relevance of this addition rather than removing it outright. 81.5.38.209 (talk) 17:45, 25 August 2025 (UTC)

For the future, it is better practice to suggest revisions on the article's talk page than to insert citations of self published/contributed works. You can share your academic work there and it can be discussed and inserted by an unaffiliated editor. Nayyn (talk) 18:06, 25 August 2025 (UTC)
