Speedy deletion nomination of ManagEnergy initiative

A tag has been placed on ManagEnergy initiative, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect to an article talk page, file description page, file talk page, MediaWiki page, MediaWiki talk page, category talk page, portal talk page, template talk page, help talk, user page, user talk or special page from the main/article space.

If you can fix the redirect to point to a mainspace page, please do so and remove the speedy deletion tag. However, please do not remove the speedy deletion tag unless you are fixing the redirect. If you think the redirect should be retained as is for some reason, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate).

You can also visit the the article's talk page directly to give your reasons. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because your username, ManagEnergy, 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 {{unblock-un|your new username here}} 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 Wikipedia:Changing username.

If you feel that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|Your reason here}}, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:42, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This user's request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without a good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Requested username:

Elena ME (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

I understand that it was a mistake to use the initiative's name as username. Thank you!

Decline reason:

Chosen username includes the organizational initials, and is therefore just as bad. Any future unblock requests must address the 3 questions below (read carefully: you CANNOT create the article; period) (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 11:17, 11 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Questions regarding your unblock request

Here are a few key questions:

Do you understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a business directory?
Do you understand conflict of interest?
Do you understand that to be considered for an encyclopedia article, the subject must be notable?

You are currently blocked because your username appears directly related to a company, group or product that you have been promoting, contrary to the username policy. Changing the username will not allow you to violate the 3 important principles above. Favonian (talk) 10:40, 11 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Your responses below do not assure me that your purpose here is to help build a neutral encyclopedia. From what I can see, you are still intent on making an article about your company despite being told otherwise. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 18:39, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Answers to "Questions regarding your unblock request"

Dear Favonian and Wikipedia administrators,

Thank you for taking the time to review the article, and for helping me getting started. I have gone through all the links you suggested (and more) - please find hereunder the answers to the three questions you asked; followed by the reason I worked on this article in the first place.

QUESTION 1: Do you understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a business directory?

ManagEnergy is not a business, nor a resource for conducting business; it does not sell or promote any products.

ManagEnergy is a 100% public, non-for-profit initiative. It is a technical support initiative that belongs to the flagship Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP) of the European Commission. ManagEnergy aims to assist (mostly European) actors from the public sector and their advisers working on energy efficiency and renewable energy at the local and regional level.

It is an initiative of the European Commission’s Directorate General for Energy; managed by the Executive Agency for Competitiveness and Innovation, which is also a public body.

This initiative is of similar scope as U4energy , the Covenant of Mayors, Civitas, Energy Cities and ELTIS.

QUESTION 2: Do you understand that to be considered for an encyclopedia article, the subject must be notable?

ManagEnergy is a well-known initiative from the European Commission; the executive body of the European Union. There is a link to ManagEnergy on the following Wikipedia pages:

QUESTION 3: Do you understand conflict of interest?

(A Wikipedia conflict of interest (COI) is an incompatibility between the aim of Wikipedia, which is to produce a neutral, reliably sourced encyclopedia, and the aims of an individual editor.)

Concerning “published by a reliable source”:

There are links to ManagEnergy.net from the following reliable sources:

Concerning a neutral point of view:

The initiative is 100% public, there is no product or service to promote and therefore neutrality is ensured.

Reason for writing this article in the first place

My intention was to enrich Wikipedia, as I came across this page, apparently dating from Oct 2007: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=ManagEnergy&redirect=no (I found it via a link from the Covenant of Mayors page).

I understood from browsing the tutorials that any new article on Wikipedia has the option of being re-read and re-written or approved by a (voluntary) Wikipedia author – is this not the case?

What other steps do you suggest I take?

Thank you for your help, Elena

Did you miss the part where I said "read carefully: you CANNOT create the article; period"? Your unblock request makes it abundantly clear that it is your intent to continue doing so. (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 11:37, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Addressing the issues raised in your message & the blocking of the ManagEnergy username

Dear Hersfold and Wikipedia administrators,

Thank you once again for responding to my message. In response to your email, I now recognise why the ManagEnergy and subsequent usernames were blocked.

In the interests of clarity, I should confirm that you're correct in your assertion that the ManagEnergy username represented more than one person.

I'm not the author of the content of the ManagEnergy page, but was merely overseeing the uploading on his behalf.

Since receiving your message, the original author - Stefanos_Kar - has agreed to take on the responsibility for being the sole user/author.

As stated above, I request that you change the username to Stefanos_Kar, thereby transferring responsibility to the author.

Stefanos_Kar will also ensure that the content of the page is presented from a neutral point of view and is in keeping with the core pillars of Wikipedia's beliefs.

Thank you for your help, Elena

I explained in my email to you that we need assurances that only one person has access to this account. By leaving this message on behalf of the person you claim owns this account, you are not providing this assurance. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 19:48, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

One person managing the account means One person writing, One person's creation, One person's views, One person's research, One person's work. I at least am not at all convinced that this is your intention. One named person presenting a corporate view is not acceptable. --Anthony Bradbury^"talk" 20:11, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

And I'm not sure that you - either or both of you - understand that 'promotion' doesn't apply only to commercial ventures. On the contrary, it applies to charities, governments, evangelists and environmentalists too. And even to ideas and doctrines. Peridon (talk) 14:53, 29 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

{unblock-un|Stefanos_Kar}}

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

ManagEnergy (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

See full explanation hereunder.

Decline reason:

You don't seem to understand. We do not get to write about ourselves or our organizations on Wikipedia. --jpgordon^{::==( o )} 17:14, 29 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Response from Stefanos_Kar

Dear Wikipedia administrators,

I'm the original author of the ManagEnergy article and I can assure you that I drafted the text.

As I have no experience with the complicated system for publishing a page on Wikipedia, I asked Elena for help.

I regret that the involvement of more than one persons has caused so many difficulties.

As the author, I would like the username changed to Stefanos_Kar.

If it is not possible to make this change, please indicate what else I can do.

Regards,

Stefanos_Kar

We can consider an unblock when you indicate unequivocally here that you understand that you cannot, and will not attempt to write about your organisation in any way, shape or form. Either your old or a new username.--Anthony Bradbury^"talk" 19:36, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of User:ManagEnergy/ManagEnergy

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on User:ManagEnergy/ManagEnergy, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.
