User talk:EH Group Engineering

May 2020

There have been two problems with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group or a web site, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing. Additionally, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

If you intend to make useful contributions other than promoting your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In that reason, you must:

Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block. To do so, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page, replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason for thinking that the block was an error, and publish the page. 331dot (talk) 08:49, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

the list of companies producing fuel cells is small. EH Group Engineering, based near Lausanne, Switzerland is a bona fide manufacturer of fuel cells, hence the intention was to add it for completeness sake. Please refer to www.ehgroup.ch and links to partners such as Solar Impulse Foundation, European Space Agency, EU Horizon 2020. Not meant for promotion, nor getting paid for it. Genuine contribution to a sector which is fast developing and likely to gather further interest globally due to ongoing decarbonisation.

Decline reason:

As per below. Yamla (talk) 13:22, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Someone else will review your request, but are you employed by this company? 331dot (talk) 09:01, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I am a co-founder of the company, and of several other companies in wholly unrelated sectors (finance, etc). No intention of promotion as can be evidenced by my first and only post.

If you founded the company, you have a conflict of interest and are a paid editor. Please review those policies, you will need to make some formal declarations once unblocked. 331dot (talk) 12:49, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
