Energy companies

I don't think that this page should be put under Energy companies. The company is just holdings of other companies although all of it's holdings are Electricity or Natural Gas related. Zerofire0 (talk) 20:23, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There is a merger proposal tag on the The United Illuminating Company article and this UIL Holdings Corporation, e.g. placed by editor Zerofire in this edit. --do ncr am 17:53, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unique articles have been created for all UIL Holdings Corporation companies. They should not be merged. Please note conflict of interest: I am an employee of UIL Holdings Corporation.Edwardjcrowder (talk) 19:25, 9 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Against - I don't see any value in merging the articles. If anything, that's how details are lost. Best, Markvs88 (talk) 17:12, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Against. I think the The United Illuminating Company is good as a separate article. It may naturally be developed to include more about the company's long history and other detail. The UIL Holdings Corporation article is naturally about a different topic, corresponding to the publicly traded security, of interest to investors. --do ncr am 17:53, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Disclosure of conflict-of-interest editing

Please note that editor Edwardjcrowder is an employee of UIL Holdings Corporation, the subject of this article. I am adding this information with authorization of my company, in the interest of creating a more complete and factually accurate article. I am attempting to abide by the Wikipedia Terms of Use, and to remain neutral in tone; however, we expect that the Wikipedia community will help to ensure that this page remains up-to-date, balanced and complete. Edwardjcrowder (talk) 20:44, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for disclosing that. As Edwardjcrowder is apparently aware, involved parties are indeed allowed to contribute on articles, but are encouraged to disclose their connection and to defer to other editors in some situations. The wikipedia policy about conflict of interest is at wp:COI. --do ncr am 17:53, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
