User talk:ALARMNZ
This article was informational and removing it has prevented Broadband engineers/students globally learning about ths important technology. This was totally unwanted as the article did not ignore [[WP:CSD#G11|section G11 policy and the blocking of this information only shows how Wikipedia is flawed as no discussion was entered into by the adminstrator. When (and it will) the APSU article is put back the person who removed it will understand their mistaken as this device will be a global phenomenon. You may delete here but you cannot change history.
Speedy deletion nomination of Alarm Power Supply Unit
[edit]
A tag has been placed on Alarm Power Supply Unit, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 09:40, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Why can't I edit Wikipedia?
Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, celebrity or other well-known individual, or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements, and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but it is considered inappropriate for such groups to use Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.
- Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?
Probably not. See WP:FAQ/Organization for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, or organization. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.
- What can I do now?
You are still welcome to write about something other than your company or organization. If you do intend to make useful contributions on some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:
- Add the text
{{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}}on your user talk page. - Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers 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 this reason, you must:
- Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the edits for which you were blocked.
- Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

As the operations manager of Alarm New Zealand Limited, you have, to put it mildly, a blatant COI. You should count yourself lucky that your addition to power supply appears to have stuck. I suggest you wait until a disinterested editor who thinks the issue of reliable broadband is important comes along and writes on this subject. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 04:04, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
- Disinterested editor ? not sure what that means, however there is no COI. No brand is mentioned, nor supplier, the APSU is a type of methodology...a new "class" of Power supply device... unlike anything before. This device is for communications networks and since it was birthed from the Alarm industry it is referred to as an ALARM POWER SUPPLY UNIT. If any other person in the world cannot refer this editor/reader to another device that fulfils the functions of the APSU then the assertion that is a new class of device holds. Filtering and suppression of information about such devices does not help anyone.
- I would like my user status returned to normal please. I would be happy to clarify details about this device.....what would you like to know ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by ALARMNZ (talk • contribs)
A disinterested editor would be one having no connection with your company. As operations manager of Alarm New Zealand Limited you have a COI - that is what COI means in Wikispeak. It does not matter what tone you write in, you have an undeniable COI. Did you actually read the box above? The user name ALARMNZ violates our policies. No admin will be willing to unblock it. You could create a new user name, but please don't: your sole purpose is clearly to promote your company's product. However, read this advice. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 17:50, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
- This is not an attempt to promote the product, its purely informational, there are an increasing number of suppliers and APSU manufactures not related to ALARMNZ. Unless my profile is unblocked how can I participate, I see no point creating another username. What’s wrong with ALARMNZ, what Wiki policy have I violated ? Is it a requirement to use your real name ( I get spammed a lot already). To create another user is to except fault, perhaps I have done something wrong, but I fail to see any violation of Wiki policy so far. A reasonable level of expertise in the area of machine to machine languages and associated systems is a desirable contribution to wiki user knowledge base. I would never add any item where there was blatantly self promotion. I would always act with integrity and seek to develop the truth about the real world I live in. I would like to respond to those other engineers around the world who want to join the discussion about this important technology. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ALARMNZ (talk • contribs)
Your user name is in clear breach of this policy. If you do not want to create another account then there is little more to be done. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 22:23, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
