DCS Europe
You suggested a name change but Change name is BLOCKED - wow this system is frustrating !!

Unblock request refused ...again ...dead end.

I disagree with the comments below in that all press articles are fed from companies - so its the company who provides these references.

Here are a load of DCS Europe references - http://www.denysshortt.com/Default.aspx?id=470083

DCS stands for my name - hence they are on my website.

The important difference is that it is a reliable source that repeats what is in the press release. The reliable source is therefore vouching that what is in the press release is credible. Sourcing the claim directly to the company skips this important step. It doesn't rule out using the company's website, but secondary sources are much preferred. The problem with the DCS Europe article was that almost everything was directly sourced from either the company website or from Denys Shortt's website. These are unlikely to be neutral sources. There is no way of verifying whether any of it is 100% accurate and not (even subtle) hype. What you need is secondary sources who know about these things and are interested in covering what the PR release says.

You also need to keep on topic, the article is not about the company founder, it is about the company. If the company founder is notable he should have his own, separate, article.

Your Account
If you still wish to edit you need to do two things.

Request an unblock
Read about doing this here. Add to the bottom of this page.

Your reason should show that you understand why you were blocked and what you will do differently so that you won't get blocked again. Again, you really need to consider your conflicts of interest.

Request a name change
Make a request to change your user name so that you no longer appear to be representing a company. You can read about doing this here. It is not a question of whether you are being up front or not about who you are. Editing your company's article is a direct conflicts of interest and strongly discouraged. Wikipedia is not the company's website.

Leaving Wikipedia
If you do not wish to continue editting Wikipedia you need to nothing. This user account will remain blocked and will never get used again. You cannot delete an account.

 * That's useful and a good example of a reliable source in this case. I've added it to the article. -- Escape Orbit  (Talk) 13:10, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

'''The articles are way out of date - here is the update http://www.denysshortt.com/Default.aspx?id=470083'''

Your Message
Thank you for your message. I don't think you've set out to promote or 'hide'.


 * First of all you simply cannot have a user account named after a company. That's the rules to prevent people claiming to, or appearing to, be editing on behalf of an an organisation.  Everyone edits Wikipedia article's on the same basis, no one gets 'official representative' status.  An 'official' editor is also biased, no matter how much they may try not to be.  (See my third point below).
 * Secondly, if there is something that is uncited, incorrect, or false, then remove it if you wish. Wikipedia always prefers content to be cited from reliable sources.  Reliable sources tend not to include primary sources, that is the company's own website.  Particular when it is dealing with claims that could be considered promotional or advertising.  You need secondary sources; newspapers, trade journals, magazines etc.
 * But otherwise you really shouldn't attempt to write about yourself, or your job, or your company, because you have an unavoidable conflict of interest.

Hope this helps explain things. -- Escape Orbit (Talk) 22:31, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
