Talk:Welspun Energy

Content dispute
(note apparent conflict of interest) has rewritten this article to be largely an advertisement rather than an encyclopedia article. I have already reverted this attempt three times and have thus hit the WP:3RR limit. So now I bring the matter to the community for consensus. Should Savwelspun's edits be allowed to remain? Comments please. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 14:30, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

Request for comments
Regarding the issue listed above, I have tried to engage in a discussion about his changes, both here and at his talk page. This user has chosen not to engage in the discussion, but to simply reinstate the offending promotional material. I seek consensus from other users regarding this issue.

 * Merge the two versions. While adherence to the Manual of Style is superficially important, at present I prefer the version which points out that Welspun is more heavily invested in wind than solar. EllenCT (talk) 01:42, 5 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Comment. I added some information concerning wind and solar projects, so I hope that concerns of EllenCT are resolved. It certainly needs additional references. At the same time, copy-paste from the corporate website is not acceptable. Beagel (talk) 17:27, 12 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Comment Thank you both Beagel and EllenCT for your input. Beagel, I like your approach.  WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 21:52, 12 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Greetings, I was randomly selected to review the RFC and this conflict should be a no-brainer.
 * Problem 1: Reading the article itself it is obvious that we are looking at advertising, not an encyclopedia entry. The article needs to be re-written to eliminate the obvious advertising and make it encyclopedic. After all, Wikipedia strives to live up to the quality standards of historic, written encyclopedias, and the article in question fails to meet even minimal encyclopedic standards.
 * Problem 2: The user name Savwelspun violates Wikipedia policy U which is a second reason to ban the user/company advertiser. The fact that the user is specifically a Single Purpose Account als qualifies for the user to be banned.
 * Problem 3: The article is employing fortune telling which is also against Wikipedia policy. The article talks about what the company plans to do, it does not cover the history of the company, no biographics, nothing that makes the article encyclopedic.
 * Proposed solution: Ban user Savwelspun for policy violations and when the company creates more WP:SPA user accounts, IP-block the company. Also editor WikiDan61 needs to restore the edits that WikiDan61 has proposed and a Third Party needs to review the changes so that the RFC can be closed.

 * Comment If Beagel had not intervened and provided a usable neutral article that incorporates reliable sources to verify Welspun's future plans for expanding in Wind Energy, I would have agreed with Damotclese's proposal. As it is, I believe the current version of the article to be a fair representation and in keeping with Wikipedia's policies.  I propose that this discussion be closed without further action.

 * Comment - RFCBot selected me randomly to participate here. However, the RFC is very poorly formed, the question is not neutral, and I cannot tell if we are being asked to comment on the dispute between two editors (which is inappropriate for a talk page) or to address the issue they are disputing. I suggest abandoning this effort, reading up on RFCs and restating the question in a new RFC which is neutral and avoids mention of a dispute.  Joja  lozzo  20:24, 22 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Comment - Personally, I don't see anything particularly noxious or advertisement-like about this article. It states the projects the company is undertaking, their size, and projected dates of competition. Unless we are supposed to add criticisms at every juncture, I don't see a problem. The only problems I see are the use of "biggest" to describe the projects, which I would substitute for "largest", which I find more encyclopedic, and the description of Rajasthan and Gujarat as " high radiation sites". I would assume that refers to solar radiation, so I would clear that up. Otherwise I really don't see the problem with the article. --Simfan34 (talk) 22:35, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
