Just tagged http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prathap_Suthan - apparently CCO at iYogi for possible COI, been edited by users by the name of "Writerpatsuthan" and "Manish-iyogi", the second of which seems to be a company employee from the name.

Of course that won't deter him, I suppose "IP range of parent organization" is the IP address or the username he chose to edit with. IP bans by local admins usually don't last longer than 24 hours, unless he's lucky enough to be caught in range block from a steward, which is unlikely. The simplest solution is creating an account, and then editing with it, not using IP address to edit. The IYogi page is here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IYogi , I'm not sure what he means by reviving it, he can edit it as much as he wants. This sounds like a common marketing query, tell him to read the help section or ask in the help channel on IRC. #wikipedia-en-help Regards Theo On Mon, Feb 6, 2012 at 3:06 PM, Noopur <noopur.ra...@gmail.com> wrote: Dear all,Can someone help me out with this?

I run an online technology magazine for a leading tech support firm called iYogi, the magazine is called wwwireframe (which is also currently undergoing a rebranding and redesign to offer a much better responsive UI to readers). In the eight months since the project has been in existence -- we've done over 500 pages of original content spread across topics such as technology, business, social media, science, startups, green technology and nonprofits. What are the benchmarks for eligibility? I wouldn't like to face a situation where I create a page only to see it deleted by an editor. As I found out, the IP range of the parent organization, iYogi, has been banned by a Wikipedia editor. I don't know why that is, maybe the page they created was badly done or perhaps it was a total sales pitch with no value. Now that I've shared some history with you. (1) My first priority is to create a page for my magazine (wwwireframe), how do I do it? (2) If possible, I'd like to look into the possibility of reviving the iYogi page -- do it well this time. It's actually quite a trusted company with its investors (Sequoia being one of them) and customers (majority from US) with global competitors like Geek Squad. Sorry for the long-ish email, tried to keep it short. Would really appreciate your opinion on this.
