User talk:Obroker

July 2018
There have been two problems with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group or a web site, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth 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 that reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of 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, you may appeal this block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Jimfbleak - talk to me?  15:26, 20 July 2018 (UTC)

Dear jimfbleak, thanks for your very helpful comments.


 * You will need to explain your relationship, if any, to "Carbon Delta AG". Please also review WP:COI and WP:PAID. Thanks 331dot (talk) 19:50, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

I know the company, because I also live in Zurich. I know most of the sustainability companies in this area. Yes, I am a fan of Carbon Delta, but also many other startups in this area. The only swiss sustainbility/climate company I could find in Wikipedia was Southpole Group and the NGO fossil-free.ch. That's why I thought it would be good to add a few more examples. I am neither paid by them, nor have any other relationships to them - other that I know most of the people - it's hard not to, when you are active in such a field in Switzerland. I am definitely not paid to add this apge to Wikipedia by them at all. Whether a COI exists, I can't fully say - but certainly not a financial one. I am not personally or financially related to the company.

BTW: Great process here at Wikipedia! I like it!

Maybe I should start my contributions with some other pages ... I could make a page about the G20 Task Force on Climate-related financial disclosures (TCFD).
 * Thank you for your reply.  do you have any concerns that need to be addressed? 331dot (talk) 20:19, 22 July 2018 (UTC)
 * 331dot, thanks. It's a condition of the unblock that the user doesn't write about the topic that got them blocked, which this user has sort-of given, and we have to assume good faith on the COI issue, so no objection Jimfbleak - talk to me?  05:26, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

Agreed
I am happy to write about climate finance in general! Climatefinance (talk) 08:52, 28 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Please remember to make a request to change your username as soon as possible using one of the two methods at WP:CHU. 331dot (talk) 08:55, 28 July 2018 (UTC)

Rename initiated
I am on vacation, hence the delay Climatefinance (talk) 19:20, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

Somehow the rename doesn't work... Climatefinance (talk) 21:07, 15 August 2018 (UTC)
 * I assume you are trying to use the form that asks for your email; try using WP:CHUS instead. 331dot (talk) 21:14, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

I issued the rename again. Hopefully it's working now...
