User talk:OscarOnsite

December 2020
Hello, I'm Pahunkat. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Cavity wall insulation have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. Pahunkat (talk) 21:52, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you use Wikipedia for promotion or advertising, as you did at Cavity wall insulation. Pahunkat (talk) 21:59, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi Pahunkat This is the first time I have used this as a publisher. I am a Director at Oscar Onsite and we are the UK's Leading Authority in Cavity Wall Insulation Extraction. We train the companies across the UK on the extraction process and all that is involved and have a formal NVQ Qualification to train those involved. I am not sure what policy we have violated as that is what we are called and the work we do is very relevant to this page.

I also posted a link from UK Parliament where MP's discussed the Cavity Wall Scandal in an Early Day Motion. This is a link from UK Parliament. Not sure why this was removed also?

Any help or advice is appreciated.


 * Hello, thanks for getting back to me. If you reply please use the template so I can respond to you quickly. There are a few rules I think you should know about:
 * WP:UN - This states that "Usernames that unambiguously represent the name of a company, group, institution or product (e.g. TownvilleWidgets, MyWidgetsUSA.com, TrammelMuseumofArt)." In this case, your username represents a company, OscarOnsite.
 * WP:PROMO - "Wikipedia is not a soapbox, a battleground, or a vehicle for propaganda, advertising and showcasing". Information about companies must also be written in an unbiased way to keep to WP:NPOV. Your description of OscarOnsite seemed to be promotional so I reverted the changes. We recommend that you:
 * Avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
 * Propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the template);
 * Avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam).
 * It is mostly because of these issues that you have been blocked by an administrator. You may be able to request an unblock if you take time to understand Wikipedia's policies and guidlines by following the instructions on the block message.

Hi Pahunkat. I got another message from Callum saying I am indefinitely blocked, which contradicts your message with a warning. Ironically I was not marketing nor promoting, I was listing Oscar Onsite for its true purpose which I stated previously as Oscar Onsite being the Leading Authority in Cavity Wall Insulation Extraction. I also listed one other link for Parliament which is extremely relevant to this page as MP's discussed the huge problem with retro-fit CWI in November 2016 and nothing has happened since. That link has nothing whatsoever to do with Oscar Onsite, but was removed. It is the first time I have ever posted on here and it seems a minefield of rules and regulations, something which I don't care much to get involved and cause issuesss.
