Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Fusion For Energy. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Fusion for Energy, you may have a conflict of interest. People with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, see the conflict of interest guideline and frequently asked questions for organizations. In particular, please:

avoid editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, its competitors, or projects and products you or they are involved with;
instead, propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

Last but not least: All contributors must not contribute content that violates conflict of interest laws (just as all contributors must respect copyright). The Unfair Commercial Practices Directive is valid throughout the European Union. In a German court decision in 2012 (that also relied on the directive) regarding Wikipedia: "The court held that when a company edits a Wikipedia article, the resulting text falsely creates the impression that the edit has no business-related purpose. By implication, the judges found that the average reader of Wikipedia articles expects to find objective and neutral information." That is a very very important condition, comparable to the FTC Guide" that consumers are likely to believe reflects the opinions, beliefs, findings, or experience of a party other than the sponsoring advertiser”. This expectation by consumers of neutral information on Wikipedia, requires that companies not write "their" WP articles for PR/marketing purposes.

Editors who are compensated for their contributions should make the disclosure by placing the {{connected contributor (paid)}} template at the top of the talk page of affected articles and filling in the parameters. They should also supply this information as part of a list on their user page of all their paid contributions.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing, and autobiographies. Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 09:49, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your User name and account

Can you please clarify the nature of your user name and account. In a recent post on another's talk page, you wrote "Please feel free to contact us for any reservations or concerns you may have." - who is this "us" ? Velella ^{Velella Talk} 10:14, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

We are the Communications unit of Fusion for Energy and represent the organisation. Fusion for Energy 12:45, 16 October 2015

I am sorry but shared Usernames are not permitted on Wikipedia. Please see WP:ISU for more guidance. You can apply to change the Username (see WP:RENAME) but it is usually simpler just to adopt an new user name as an individual. Regards Velella ^{Velella Talk} 11:16, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose.

If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice.

You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice. Thank you. -- Ed (Edgar181) 16:35, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Reti08 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Change of username, no longer associated with an organisation

Decline reason:

You should use the other template (the unblock-un one), and suggest your choice of new name. Peridon (talk) 15:25, 20 October 2015 (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.

I've just discovered that you have had a name change from Fusion for Energy. That change was made at 'meta', but the name you chose is not acceptable here on the English Wikipedia. We don't allow usernames that appear to represent company or organisation names, and your 'Fusion' suggests the 'Fusion for Energy' you were editing about. If you make the request for name change here, we can advise you on the suitability of the name chosen. Sorry for any confusion this new procedure is causing.

Sorry for the bothering, I changed my name to one that was no affiliation to any company or organisation. I hope the request can be accepted now. 84.88.56.250 (talk) 15:05, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
