'Please put new things at the end'' of this page - I'm moving your help request down there. Thanks.  Chzz  ► 14:14, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Welcome
Hello, CleanCoolingSolutions, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you have edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been reverted for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of deletion, you might like to draft your article before submission, then ask me or any other editor to proofread it. To start creating a draft article, just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit that page as you would any other. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

The one firm rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! You can also just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Gigs (talk) 14:31, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

July 2010
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the username you have chosen seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group, company or website.

There are two issues with this :
 * 1) You may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, you must exercise great caution when editing on topics related to your organization.
 * 2) Your account cannot represent a group of people. You may wish to create a new account with a username that represents only you. Alternatively, you may consider changing your username to avoid giving the impression that your personal account is being used for promotional purposes.

Regardless of whether you change your name or create a new account, you are not exempted from the guideline to avoid editing where you have a conflict of interest. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Harry the Dog WOOF  14:57, 14 July 2010 (UTC) Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended or used for publicity and/or promotional purposes. Please read the following carefully.

Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements, and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but it is considered inappropriate for such groups to use Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.

Probably not. See WP:FAQ/Organization for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, or organization. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.
 * Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?

You are still welcome to write about something other than your company or organization. If you do intend to make useful contributions on some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:
 * What can I do now?


 * Add the text on your user talk page.
 * Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy.
 * Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the edits for which you were blocked.
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, please see how to appeal a block. TN X Man 15:00, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

How does X work?
Your question. CleanCoolingSolutions (talk) 14:10, 19 July 2010 (UTC) Hi! Thanks for your messages concerning the fact that I normally shouldn't be able to write about magnetic refrigeration and the new breakthrough that Clean Colling system proposes. However, I don't quite understand why, as it is a proven addition to the magnetic refrigeration technology...I am new to Wikipedia and did not mean to transgress this neutrality clause, but how can I write about our new system that can be applied to domestic use if this is the case? Can i not submit it to another editor as proposed and maybe, he/she can help me make my article more neutral? Please let me know how I can go about this. I did read the COI article.

Thanks for your help and understanding. P.S: I do not necessarily want to change usernames...

Best regards, CleanCoolingSolutions (talk) 14:10, 19 July 2010 (UTC)


 * First, before you do anything else, you cannot use that user name, due to the WP:CORPNAME policy. You need to request an unblock with at the end of this page.


 * Next, you are advised not to write about the subject, because of your involvement. You can put a request in, and requested articles. It is possible, however, that this subject will not meet our 'notability' guidelines - see WP:VRS, WP:GNG.

Dear editor,
 * Please help us to write about other subjects instead of this one. If you wish to do that, explain your understanding in an unblock request, get a new username, and we can move on from there. Cheers,  Chzz  ► 14:19, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Many thanks for these clarifications. I will look into my options by tomorrow and get back.

Best, CleanCoolingSolutions (talk) 14:33, 19 July 2010 (UTC)


 * You have only one option if you want to continue editing Wikipedia - change your username. Even doing so, you should probably not edit (and certainly not create) any articles relating to your company and its products. Harry the Dog WOOF  15:38, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi Editors,

I just found an article saying that I do not have conflict of interest if I have professional or academic expertise on the subject and this si just the case. Please read the text: "What is a conflict of interest? See also: Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a forum for advertising or promoting yourself, or a vanity press. As such, it should contain only material that complies with its content policies, and Wikipedians must place the interests of the encyclopedia first. Any editor who gives priority to outside interests may be subject to a conflict of interest.

There are no firm criteria to determine whether a conflict of interest exists, but there are warning signs. Adding material that appears to promote the interests or visibility of an article's author, its author's family members, employer, associates, or their business or personal interests, places the author in a conflict of interest. When editors write to promote their own interests, their contributions often show a characteristic lack of connection to anything the general reader might want to consult as a reference. If you do write an article on an area in which you are personally involved, be sure to write in a neutral tone and cite reliable, third-party published sources, and beware of unintentional bias. Neutral point of view is one of Wikipedia's five pillars.

If other editors suggest that your editing violates Wikipedia's standards, take that advice seriously and consider stepping back, reassessing your edits, and discussing your intentions with the community. In particular, consider whether you are editing tendentiously.

[edit] Examples [edit] Citing oneself See also: Wikipedia:Autobiography and Wikipedia:No original research#Citing oneself '''Editing in an area in which you have professional or academic expertise is not, in itself, a conflict of interest. Using material you yourself have written or published is allowed within reason, but only if it is notable and conforms to the content policies. Excessive self-citation is strongly discouraged. When in doubt, defer to the community's opinion.'''

This last paragraph states that I am not infringing COI. So, can I or can I not submit my academic article to the editors, in view of having them check my neutrality regardint magnetic refrigeration? It seems that I have this option too??

Please be clear, as I have read contradictory things regarding this COI and I am not selling a product,just talking about a scientific breakthrough...

Thank you for your understanding...

 * Do you have any connection with the company you are writing about? If so, you have a conflict of interest. You have been blocked for this. Your only option now is to change usernames and not write about any company or technology that you are associated with. In any event the community has decided that the subject of the article you created is not notable and does not conform to the content policies. Therefore the part you quote in bold does not apply. Harry the Dog WOOF  08:03, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

Dear Editors,

Apparently, you have decided that my scientific article on the subject is biased...I am deceived to find out that I cannot write about my scientific findings regarding magnetic refrigeration on Wikipedia.Unfortunately, the article I cited from Wikipedoa does not seem to apply since the community has decided that it doesn't. Well, I guess that I have no choice but to accept your decision. Thanks anyhow. Best regards, CleanCoolingSolutions (talk) 08:40, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
