User talk:Solutia Inc

August 2010
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the username you have chosen seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group, company or website.

There are two issues with this :
 * 1) You may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, you must exercise great caution when editing on topics related to your organization.
 * 2) Your account cannot represent a group of people. You may wish to create a new account with a username that represents only you. Alternatively, you may consider changing your username to avoid giving the impression that your personal account is being used for promotional purposes.

Regardless of whether you change your name or create a new account, you are not exempted from the guideline to avoid editing where you have a conflict of interest. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations.The article in question is Solutia. Thank you. P.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a few moments to create a new account with a username that represents only you. If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may ask for a review of this username block by adding below this notice the text. Thank you. - Dank (push to talk) 02:37, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

-->Wikipedia:Appealing a block|ask for a review of this username block. Actually, Daniel Case I am doing my best to be completely open and transparent about the edits I have made and intend to make in the future. If you were to please review these edits you would see that I followed the stated parameters and am not in anyway intending or attempting to "promote" the company, merely to update the information included on the page with factual, relevant and sourced data. As I have clearly stated, I have no interest in removing any information previously added or in anyway attempting to misuse the page. I cannot understand why simply being a company employee "confirms" your "conflict of interest" suspicions. In my opinion creating a user account without including such information, which I could have done, creates far more conflict, requires an intention to mislead and may, in fact, encourage abuse of the policy. It would appear that the comment and decline:request does not lead to compliance with the conflicts of interest policy but rather encourages those who wish to promote or push content to be less than transparent when creating an account. Thank you for reconsidering my request.
