Questions regarding your unblock request
Here are a few key questions:
 * Do you understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a business directory?
 * Do you understand conflict of interest?
 * Do you understand that to be considered for an encyclopedia article, the subject must be notable?

You are currently blocked because your username appears directly related to a company, group or product that you have been promoting, contrary to the username policy. Changing the username will not allow you to violate the 3 important principles above. Favonian (talk) 10:40, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Answers to "Questions regarding your unblock request"
Dear Favonian and Wikipedia administrators,

Thank you for taking the time to review the article, and for helping me getting started. I have gone through all the links you suggested (and more) - please find hereunder the answers to the three questions you asked; followed by the reason I worked on this article in the first place.

QUESTION 1: Do you understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a business directory?
ManagEnergy is not a business, nor a resource for conducting business; it does not sell or promote any products.

ManagEnergy is a 100% public, non-for-profit initiative. It is a technical support initiative that belongs to the flagship Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP)   of the European Commission. ManagEnergy aims to assist (mostly European) actors from the public sector and their advisers working on energy efficiency and renewable energy at the local and regional level.

It is an initiative of the European Commission’s Directorate General for Energy; managed by the  Executive Agency for Competitiveness and Innovation, which is also a public body.

This initiative is of similar scope as U4energy, the  Covenant of Mayors,  Civitas,  Energy Cities and  ELTIS.

QUESTION 2: Do you understand that to be considered for an encyclopedia article, the subject must be notable?
ManagEnergy is a well-known initiative from the European Commission; the executive body of the  European Union. There is a link to ManagEnergy on the following Wikipedia pages:
 * Renewable_energy_in_the_European_Union
 * Covenant of Mayors

QUESTION 3: Do you understand conflict of interest?
(A Wikipedia conflict of interest (COI) is an incompatibility between the aim of Wikipedia, which is to produce a neutral, reliably sourced encyclopedia, and the aims of an individual editor.)

Concerning “published by a reliable source”:
There are links to ManagEnergy.net from the following reliable sources:
 * http://ec.europa.eu/energy/actions_energy_en.htm
 * http://ec.europa.eu/energy/intelligent/agencies/index_en.htm
 * http://ec.europa.eu/energy/intelligent/links/index_en.htm
 * http://europa.eu/rapid/pressReleasesAction.do?reference=IP/02/1761&format=HTML&aged=0&language=EN&guiLanguage=en

Concerning a neutral point of view:
The initiative is 100% public, there is no product or service to promote and therefore neutrality is ensured.

Reason for writing this article in the first place
My intention was to enrich Wikipedia, as I came across this page, apparently dating from Oct 2007: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=ManagEnergy&redirect=no (I found it via a link from the Covenant of Mayors page).

I understood from browsing the tutorials that any new article on Wikipedia has the option of being re-read and re-written or approved by a (voluntary) Wikipedia author – is this not the case?

What other steps do you suggest I take?

Thank you for your help, Elena
 * Did you miss the part where I said "read carefully: you CANNOT create the article; period"? Your unblock request makes it abundantly clear that it is your intent to continue doing so. ( talk→   BWilkins   ←track ) 11:37, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

Addressing the issues raised in your message & the blocking of the ManagEnergy username
Dear Hersfold and Wikipedia administrators,

Thank you once again for responding to my message. In response to your email, I now recognise why the ManagEnergy and subsequent usernames were blocked.

In the interests of clarity, I should confirm that you're correct in your assertion that the ManagEnergy username represented more than one person.

I'm not the author of the content of the ManagEnergy page, but was merely overseeing the uploading on his behalf.

Since receiving your message, the original author - Stefanos_Kar - has agreed to take on the responsibility for being the sole user/author.

As stated above, I request that you change the username to Stefanos_Kar, thereby transferring responsibility to the author.

Stefanos_Kar will also ensure that the content of the page is presented from a neutral point of view and is in keeping with the core pillars of Wikipedia's beliefs.

Thank you for your help, Elena


 * I explained in my email to you that we need assurances that only one person has access to this account. By leaving this message on behalf of the person you claim owns this account, you are not providing this assurance. Hers fold  (t/a/c) 19:48, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
 * One person managing the account means One person writing, One person's creation, One person's views, One person's research, One person's work. I at least am not at all convinced that this is your intention. One named person presenting a corporate view is not acceptable. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 20:11, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
 * And I'm not sure that you - either or both of you - understand that 'promotion' doesn't apply only to commercial ventures. On the contrary, it applies to charities, governments, evangelists and environmentalists too. And even to ideas and doctrines. Peridon (talk) 14:53, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

Response from Stefanos_Kar
Dear Wikipedia administrators,

I'm the original author of the ManagEnergy article and I can assure you that I drafted the text.

As I have no experience with the complicated system for publishing a page on Wikipedia, I asked Elena for help.

I regret that the involvement of more than one persons has caused so many difficulties.

As the author, I would like the username changed to Stefanos_Kar.

If it is not possible to make this change, please indicate what else I can do.

Regards,

Stefanos_Kar


 * We can consider an unblock when you indicate unequivocally here that you understand that you cannot, and will not attempt to write about your organisation in any way, shape or form. Either your old or a new username.--Anthony Bradbury"talk" 19:36, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on User:ManagEnergy/ManagEnergy, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
