July 2008

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. The two articles you just created, Decentralised energy and District energy, I have redirected to the existing article, Distributed generation. In the future, you should search for existing articles on a subject before creating a new one, and do not not create articles on the same subject under different names. Instead, redirect as I have done to one article. Also, the tone of the articles you created was that of an opinion essay, which is not appropriate for Wikipedia. See, Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not for more information. Mycroft7 (talk) 16:47, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pretty blatant to add a new organisation to the top of the lists:

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Biofuel do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. --Dirk Beetstra T C 13:37, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

May I suggest you contact an appropriate wikiproject (see Wikipedia:WikiProject and discuss further linkadditions with them? Thanks. --Dirk Beetstra T C 13:41, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Biogas has been reverted. Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): rule: '\bdekb\.co\.uk\b' (link(s): http://www.dekb.co.uk/home/index.php?view=article&catid=38%3Abiomassbiofuel&id=247%3A160708-defra-ministers-give-boost-to-biogas&option=com_content&Itemid=53) .

If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks!

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Biomass. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits, such as the one you made to Biofuel. If you vandalize Wikipedia again, you will be blocked from editing. NJGW (talk) 14:18, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your question

Welcome to Wikipedia. First a minor point, when you start a new section on a discussion/talk page, be sure that you place it at the bottom of the page instead of the top. As for your question about the links, one of the first things you should be aware of is Wikipedia's conflict of interest policy. Essentially, if you have a conflict of interest (such as your company is in the field you are editing), you should expect your edits to be over scrutinized in an abundance of caution. This is to maintain the neutrality of all wikipedia articles. As far as linking to your company goes, that's pretty much not accepted in most cases (just imagine if every company in the world had a link here... this would quickly become a business directory instead of an encyclopedia. Now, if there are good third party news/journal articles which can verify the notability of your company, then those can be used to source an article about your company. Be sure to read the policies I've linked to here before you start writing anything like that, and realize that any articles not following them will be deleted by the community. Also, you can always ask in an article's discussion page about additions you would like to make but could be viewed as questionable; just be ready to politely explain your reasoning. Let me know if you have any other questions. NJGW (talk) 14:55, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
