July 2014

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that 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.

It's OK, but do consider the following query:

Here are a few key questions:

Do you understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a business directory?
Do you understand conflict of interest?
Do you understand that to be considered for an encyclopedia article, the subject must be notable?

You are currently blocked because your username appears directly related to a company, group or product that you have been promoting, contrary to the username policy. Changing the username will not allow you to violate the 3 important principles above. Daniel Case (talk) 18:54, 16 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Daniel.

Regarding your questions, I believe it is possible to answer all of them saying that I am aware of the Wikipedia's pillars. In fact, I have gone through this subject matter (NPV, notable themes, COI, etc.) in the process of editing the articles in Portuguese that are already published in the PT WP. Those that I am editing in English are only a translated version of them. The choice to use the name of the company I work for as my Username is intentional, a way of expressing my good will through transparency.

Hi, Daniel Case.

Any good news about the process of unblocking my new Username?

All the best, Sistema Firjan (talk) 13:05, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to consult with the blocking admin. Daniel Case (talk) 17:21, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

He isn't impressed. He suspects there are differences between the conflict of interest policies here and on ptwiki that you don't appreciate. Can you perhaps read the simpler version of the COI policy and tell me what effect it will have on your stated editorial intentions? Daniel Case (talk) 19:02, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Daniel Case. I will go through this text you recommended and will get back to you tomorrow with my considerations. All the best, Sistema Firjan (talk).

Hello, Daniel Case.

I have carefully read the page you suggested and believe I can say that the present account respects WP´s rules.

Regarding the disclosure obligation, which applies to me as a paid contributor, the rule says:

"Misrepresenting your affiliation with any individual or entity is a violation of the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use"
"You must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive"

As every user can read, there is a statement in my Userpage disclosuring who I am.

With regard to disruption...

"COI editors causing disruption may be blocked."

...it obviously do not apply to me, hence, should not have been blocked. My case is as follows:

"Editors with COIs who wish to edit responsibly are strongly encouraged to follow Wikipedia policies and best practices scrupulously."
"They are also encouraged to disclose their interest on their user pages(...)" - we do that - "(...)and to request the views of other editors" - we have welcomed all the suggestions from WP editors to improve our articles and we have counted on the help of OTAVIO1981 in order to adapt our articles to the strict Wikipedia's standards.

Reading the topic "Escape, disclosure or management", about the ways a person with a conflict of interest might approach it, puts my account into the 2nd case (wich I think is consistent with the democratic age in which we live):

"it can be disclosed to anyone who relies on P's judgment, so that they can decide whether to remove P, or seek a second opinion wherever P has exercised her judgment".

In fact, I have faced what you call controversial edit. Nevertheless, I have been acting as recommended by WP policies (ie, debating in a civilized manner on the talk page):

"If another editor objects for any reason, then it's a controversial edit. Such edits should be discussed on the article's talk page."

I can say the only rule I have broken here (for not being aware of it) was using the name of the organization as the account. But I hope that problem will soon be solved with my Username changing to "Luis at FIRJAN System", as recommended.

Finally, I hope that the above confirms that my "editing intentions" and WP behaviour are the same I have adopted in the PT WP: transparency, good will and reliable information on a variety of themes, with lots of references.
