Hi!
This is Vipul Naik. I completed my B.Sc. (Hons) in Mathematics at the [Chennai Mathematical Institute](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chennai_Mathematical_Institute "Chennai Mathematical Institute") in [Siruseri](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siruseri "Siruseri") which is just off [Chennai](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chennai "Chennai"), [India](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India "India") and my Ph.D. in Mathematics at the [University of Chicago](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Chicago "University of Chicago"). I currently work at the nexus of data science and software engineering at [The Arena Group](https://thearenagroup.net/). My website is [vipulnaik.com](http://vipulnaik.com/). All edits I make are in my personal capacity and not on behalf of any of the aforementioned organizations.
For more on my Wikipedia editing, see [my site page about Wikipedia](http://vipulnaik.com/wikipedia/), [my site page about sponsored Wikipedia editing](http://vipulnaik.com/sponsored-wikipedia-editing/), and [the list of all pages I have created, with pageviews across the years](http://wikipediaviews.org/displayviewsformultipleyears.php?tag=Pages%20created%20by%20Vipul%20Naik).
## Other account with about two dozen edits
\[ [edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Vipul&action=edit§ion=1 "Edit section: Other account with about two dozen edits")\]
I recently noticed that I have another account [Vipulnaik](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Vipulnaik "User:Vipulnaik") with about two dozen edits, mostly before 2014, and since then, all on mobile devices. After looking into it a bit more, I discovered that this account got created as part of my global Wikimedia account (the global account with username Vipul wasn't available). I didn't intend to use this account for editing the English Wikipedia, but a few times (probably after I uploaded pictures to Commons) I accidentally made edits through this account.
I also appear to have logged in using this account on my phone a few times, so some mobile edits show up as being from this account.
## Sponsored Wikipedia editing
\[ [edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Vipul&action=edit§ion=2 "Edit section: Sponsored Wikipedia editing")\]
I had been running an experiment with sponsored Wikipedia editing since April 2015. On March 8, 2017, I terminated this operation, due to negative feedback from [COIN](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard "Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard") and [ANI](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_Noticeboard/Incidents "Wikipedia:Administrators' Noticeboard/Incidents"). I will update this page if and when the status changes.
For the list of people I have paid to create Wikipedia content, and links to the specific pieces of work I have sponsored, see [this reposito
