Welcome

[edit]

Hello, Energytoday, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you have edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been reverted for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of deletion, you might like to draft your article before submission, then get me or any other editor to proofread it. To start creating a draft article, just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit that page as you would any other. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

The one firm rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that if more than one person is using this account to edit, then unfortunately it will be blocked from editing.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Hello Energytoday, I just wanted to let you know that there is a current thread at the conflict of interest noticeboard regarding your edits. There are concerns that you are attempting to promote the Sunrise Powerlink project in areas of Wikipedia that aren't entirely appropriate. Your input would be appreciated to help clarify matters. -- Atama 17:44, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hello, to be honest, I'm rethinking what I did at San Diego Gas & Electric. Your edits were appropriate for the article, and I've undone the removal of the information. I was going to undo your recent changes at solar power but didn't, they seem to fit the context of the article. I'm not the one who had brought this up in the first place, though, other people are looking into it so I suggest you post at WP:COIN#Users seemingly involved with Sunrise Powerlink. Thank you for getting back to me. -- Atama 18:40, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

One other thing that I wanted to caution you about. You said on my talk page, "Omitting any mention of Sunrise Powerlink does a disservice to readers who wish to know more about San Diego gas & Electric." That may be true, but know that "getting out the word", whatever your motives, can be considered promotional. We are first and foremost (and in theory at least, only) an encyclopedia, not a place to notify people about important events or projects. Updating old information is good, it's necessary for articles to be accurate, but just keep in mind that Wikipedia isn't the proper venue for alerting the public. Thanks! -- Atama 18:56, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment.
