Under the conflict of interest guidelines, we all agree to avoid writing about ourselves or our own businesses. If your company is truly notable, it is inevitable that someone outside the company will write a neutral article about it. Knowing that you won't be writing about this company, do you still want an account, so you can volunteer to help write the encyclopedia in other areas? What other areas do you think you'd like to write about? -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 12:03, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

So I wonder, if articles like Kyocera or Ceradyne were not initiated by the companys themselves, only that they didn't made the mistake to use the company name as account name. Nethertheless, I would like to keep the account with a new account name. Possible areas to contribute would be e.g. the use of bioceramics in hip- or knee-joint replacements, material data of various technical ceramics, new applications with these materials in electronics, LED technology or the food industry. We do a lot of R&D in this fields here and I think, some of this could be very useful for wiki - in a neutral form. And I would still like to know, which parts of the CeramTec article are noticed as promotion? The history part? The stated key products and materials? CeramTec (talk) 14:22, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

What new account name would you like to use? Daniel Case (talk) 15:44, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Above I asked for adopting it to "Steve_611873" already. CeramTec (talk) 07:05, 22 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Let me chime in as an uninvolved editor and state that the only thing that exposes the COI is the username. The article is absolutely neutral.  References would be nice, though, all entries must be verifiable. Drawn Some (talk) 22:26, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
