User talk:SonoraEnergyGroup

June 2012
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that the username you have chosen (SonoraEnergyGroup) seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group, company or website.

There are two issues with this :
 * 1) It is possible that you 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 or adding links to its website.
 * 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 guidelines concerning 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 Sonora energy group.

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from Sonora energy group. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

Speedy deletion nomination of Sonora energy group


A tag has been placed on Sonora energy group requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. TheGeneralUser (talk) 21:17, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

Your Username is against Policy
Hello, as you might not know that these types of username's (your username in this case User:SonoraEnergyGroup) are specifically not allowed on Wikipedia. Please consider reading and understanding Username policy which will explain you everything about usernames. I had also posted a similar notice on your user talk page before also. Choosing these types of usernames and editing in areas where you clearly have a conflict of interest will really end you up getting blocked. I suggest that you request for a username change if you wish to edit and positively contribute to Wikipedia in other areas just like every Wikipedian. Thank you. TheGeneralUser (talk) 21:45, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because your username, SonoraEnergyGroup, does not meet our username policy. '''Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below).''' A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive, or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account. You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:
 * Adding on your user talk page. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "E-mail this user" on their talk page.
 * At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
 * Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Changing username.

If you feel that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. Daniel Case (talk) 04:00, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

.... Oh! I am slow! Okay. I am trying to write about the project and the NEWS that that the project is first of its kind to receive a production permit. What if we changed the name to SEGH-CFE 1, the name of the project? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.165.9.12 (talk) 16:53, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

ANI
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. TheGeneralUser (talk) 18:01, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

CHANGE
I have rewritten the submission from the news perspective and have created a new wiki name titled SEGH CFE 1. This is the registered name in which the permit was granted.

A simple question
I need to ask you a simple question though, were you the one who created these user accounts SEGH CFE 1 (talk) and Sonora Energy (talk) and edited from 201.165.9.12 (talk) IP address ? TheGeneralUser (talk) 19:11, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

Question
Our project is like, for example, Solar One. Solar One has a wiki page that is tagged as a Disambiguation. Can we follow that format?
 * You are missing something important. At Wikipedia, we all agree to avoid writing about ourselves or our own projects.  If your project is truly notable, it's inevitable that someone outside the project will read about it in reliable sources and write about it, but it isn't appropriate for you to do it.  Knowing that you won't be writing about your own project, do you still want a Wikipedia account?  Are you interested in volunteering to help write an encyclopedia?  It's a fun hobby, but it won't do anything for your project.  What else do you think you'd like to work on here? -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 20:02, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

I very much appreciate your time and response. It is very frustrating to know that other projects (such as BioFields), have successful wiki posts and do not even have a real project. They, like others must have had some one "outside" the project make the posting. This project is currently in the news. BNAmericas posted a reference this past Friday. So someone outside our project can write about the project? A local reporter or elected official?

Further -- after this news was first posted (as evidenced above), we recevied notice that: ''Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below).'' And later, we were told that the post needed to be about a person -- not a company. Again, see the thread above. To comply with the above, we changed the account name to reflect a project -- not a company -- and were blocked again. We believe that news about this project and business model will make an important contribution to Wiki's encyclopedia.


 * Firstly, article X is not an excuse for article Y - please consider reading this page. Secondly, I think you are getting confused. Your username needs to reflect an individual editor and one editor alone, as account sharing is not permitted, and usernames which suggest they edit on behalf of an organisation/group/project - basically, any form of collaboration known as a role account - are not permitted at all. You seemingly ignored this and created SEGH CFE 1, which I have now blocked. Also, another administrator requested assurance that you will avoid writing about what is most probably your employer, which you have yet to provide. WilliamH (talk) 22:25, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

It's not strictly true you can't write about your project -- but it's very close to true and it's very hard to do successfully. I'd suggest taking a look at WikiProject Cooperation for ideas on how to suggest an article for your project get created. As noted each member of your organization who is going to edit must create their own account; just make up a name that doesn't reflect the name of the organization or project.
