User talk:UNDEERC


 * Please hold on while I speak to the blocking administrator about this. east718 //  talk  //  email  // 22:43, 5 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Not wanting to jump in ahead of you east718 - however I will comment that this user has not been warned for adding spam links (that I can see anywhere) - and in relation to multiple accounts - it appears that whilst they were editing under Energy & Environmental Research Center they were blocked correctly for username violation and then attempted a new account name as per the current one. Whilst that current name is also problematic (it is only so because of his edits rather than its actual construction) - and the editor needs to learn about Conflict of Interest guidelines as well as rules about SPAM - I am very inclined towards unblocking, putting the welcome template back up (which was deleted rather unhelpfully) - and giving this editor another chance. However as I trust your edits and admin skill completely I will await your return before venturing any further.  Best wishes.-- VS  talk 09:35, 6 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Regardless of the multiple users situation, creating a username and then adding links to your organization/program (of the same name) is spam at worst and poor taste at best. Linking to a domain with the same address as your username is pretty obvious and is discouraged (or not allowed). In picking a new username, choose one which is for you personally and not for your group or organization. Check out WP:U for more info on usernames. -- Terrillja talk  22:54, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
 * UNDEERC, your username was created and will be seen as a problem if you violate the username policy. From the username policy:
 * Use of Wikipedia for promotion of a company or group is not permitted, and accounts that do this will be blocked. Use of a company or group name as a username is not explicitly prohibited, but it is not recommended, and depending on the circumstances may be seen as a problem. Similarly, editing with a possible conflict of interest, such as editing an article about your employer, is not disallowed, but anyone wishing to do so is advised to read the Business' FAQ.
 * Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you for your time,  Matthew  Yeager  23:29, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
