Parabolic trough
I reworked the info you recently added to the Parabolic trough article to make it flow a little better. You seem to know more about this subject than I do however so if you could have a look at my revisions and make sure I didn't distort the information that would be cool. Also, I removed your signature from the article as these are intended for use on talk pages, not in articles. -AndrewBuck (talk) 18:17, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended or used for publicity and/or promotional purposes. Please read the following carefully.

Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, celebrity or other well-known individual, or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements, and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but such groups are generally discouraged from using Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.

Probably not. See WP:FAQ/Organizations for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, or organization. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.
 * Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?

You are still welcome to write about something other than your company or organization. If you do intend to make useful contributions on some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:
 * What can I do now?


 * Add the text on your user talk page.
 * Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers 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 this reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the 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, please see how to appeal a block. Daniel Case (talk) 14:13, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

I really don't understand why my edits have been blocked.

Yes, I referenced a couple of pictures on my web page http://www.redrok.com but this was content I had created. Further, if you had looked at my web site you would have seen that I have a great amount of content. I have done many projects over the years. Generally I post about my progress. These circuit diagrams and a picture were useful to the added text and in no way could be construed as advertisement.

I am well known in the field of "Solar tracking". I basically invented the use of LEDs in solar tracking applications.

Yes, I do sell solar trackers. I don't apologize for this. However, I fully publish the circuits and describe in detail how they work. Take a look at this page http://www.redrok.com/led3xassm.htm and you will see numerous projects built my many people. Many, but not all, have used my trackers.

Whats the deal, is it a requirement that only people who don't have web pages with content be able to edit pages and exclude those who are experts.

Please email me at redrok@redrok.com so we can discus this issue. Duane C. Johnson Red Rock Energy (651)426-4766
