answers to the specific questions:
- Do you understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a business directory?
Yes I understand and for a encoplopedia all subjects should be listed. Wikipedia is an place where you can find answerd about what ever you are looking for. For me this includes also associations like eu.bac which are active in Europe promoting Building Automation and Services. eu.bac is not a company - it is a association. eu.bac is independant in the way that all 25 companies (and this is more then 80% of the European market) need to find a compromise about the position and what to do. The topics of eu.bac is handling and promoting a branch, not an single product or company. The offerd certification an labelling schmes are based on independant Test houses and national accredited Certification bodies. If there is any question concerning eu.bac and eu.bac Energy Efficiency certification and labelling ot he eu.bac BACS System Audit you will look first in Wikipedia. That is what I normally do and I want to offer this possibility also in the case of eu.bac. Building Automation and Controls - BACS is a very complex and hidden topic - People mostly realise BACS if it do not work - For this all kind of source is needed and for sure Wikipedia is the best known.
- Do you understand conflict of interest?
Yes I understand that in this case a conflict of interest might happens. But it is always the question if you are a specialist for a subject area what kind of interest you have. My interest is that in this case eu.bac will be detected if someone is interested for Building Automation.
- Do you understand that to be considered for an encyclopedia article, the subject must be notable?
I believe that eu.bac is a notable subject. It was one of the fist European association open for manufacturers and not for national associations. It is a real European and International organisation in the field of Energy Efficiency for Buildings. It offers with the unique Certification and Labelling scheme for products and systems the possibility to all interested parties to check the tenders of the manufactures in a independant way

Is this ok? TMeubac (talk) 12:12, 12 September 2013 (UTC) I don't see why not. But first a word from our sponsor ... 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. Daniel Case (talk) 15:59, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
Hello, Only for explanation TM stands for Thomas Müller and this is ma name. I understand the questions and understand that Wikipedia is an place where you can find answerd about what ever you are looking for. For me this includes also associations like eu.bac which are active in Europe to promote Building Automation and Services. eu.bac is not a company - it is a association. eu.bac is independant in the way that all 25 companies (and this is more then 80% of the European market) need to find a compromise about the position and what to do.

Building Automation and Controls - BACS is a very complex and hidden topic - People mostly realise BACS if it do not work - For this all kind of source is needed and for sure Wikipedia is the best known. I changed my proposal for a username again to provide any conflicts with BACS - I hope no problems about this.
Kind regards

- Still need to answer the specific 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?
- Click on the links in the questions and read those pages. You need to specifically answer these three questions before we can consider an unblock. Singularity42 (talk) 16:04, 13 September 2013 (UTC)
NOTE: After I declined the above unblock request, I recieved a message on my talk page from an IP claiming to be this user. The message was that the user did not respond to the questions. Therefore, I make a couple of points:
- All requests for unblocks or comments related to the unblock request from this user should be made on this user page or to WP:UTRS.
- If you disagree with the reason why I declined the unblock, make a new unblock request below.
- As can clearly be seen above, the questions have not been answered. At 15:59 on September 12th, Daniel Case asked some questions. At 07:05 on September 13th, the user in question responded. At 16:04 on the same day, I asked some clarification questions. There have been no replies since September 13th. On September 18th, I procedurally declined the unblock request.
If you want to be unblocked, make a new unblock request and answer the questions I asked on September 13th. Singularity42 (talk) 15:18, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

[edit] Hello, TMeubac. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Eubac, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.
All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.
If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:
- Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
- Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
- Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
- Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.
Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.
For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. TheFeds 23:51, 4 July 2013 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "TMeubac", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because of restrictions on representing groups with your username (WP:ORGNAME). If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. TheFeds 23:55, 4 July 2013 (UTC)

Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below) and continue editing.
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 and create the account yourself. 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.
- Adding
{{unblock|Your reason here}}
, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. Alexf(talk) 16:10, 9 September 2013 (UTC)File permission problem with File:Eu.bac Member list 11 2013.jpg
