Welcome!
Hello, Hgb46, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your recent edits to the page Energy storage have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and has been removed. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or in other media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles. Additionally, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.

Energy storage / possible conflict of interest
Hello, please stop adding unsourced promotional content into Wikipedia as you did at Energy storage. The added content also seems to plagiarize previously-published internet articles such as https://ammoniaindustry.com/yara-solar-ammonia-pilot-plant-for-start-up-in-2019/. Content must be based on independent secondary expert sources (not on promotional announcements in random personal websites), and it must be phrased in your own words in a neutral non-promotional tone. Additionally, information about future events need to meet the criteria at WP:CRYSTALBALL before it can be added. If you have any questions please feel free to ask me or start a thread at Talk:Energy storage, but do not re-insert unsourced disputed content,

One last important point: if you have a professional connection to the topic as employee, paid editor or lobbyist, you have to disclose this "conflict of interest" - see WP:COI and WP:PAID for more information. Thank you for your consideration. GermanJoe (talk) 18:03, 6 August 2018 (UTC)


 * Please see WP:RS for Wikipedia's definition of reliable sources (especially WP:SCHOLARSHIP about master theses). It would be better to discuss this on the article's talkpage Talk:Energy storage instead of re-adding such promotional content without consensus. See also WP:BRD for a recommended approach in situations of disputed edits. GermanJoe (talk) 13:42, 8 August 2018 (UTC)


 * My apologies if the above sounds a bit defensive, but in the past Energy storage has been the target of recurring promotional editing and advocacy for new technologies and their providers (from previous editors). I appreciate your clarification that you have no affiliation to the ammonia industry or other form of conflict of interest. And I certainly don't want to discourage any editing about this aspect: if you can provide a reliable unbiased source from an acknowledged expert in this topic area, a short mention would be possible. Anyway, it would be better to continue this discussion at article talk, if you find a better source for such a mention. Hope this helps a bit to clarify my concerns and to move forward towards a consensus. Best regards. GermanJoe (talk) 13:54, 8 August 2018 (UTC)
