Tristan.sbry

Hi everyone,

I hope this message finds you well.

I am writing to you because I work closely with KRUG and am currently involved in a project concerning Wikipedia.

The House of Krug is very enthusiastic about the different Wikipedia pages you have written and moderated and I would like to form stronger relations with all experienced contributors who have worked on articles about Krug on Wikipedia, as well as with Champagne and wine enthusiasts in general. My wish is to be part of the collaborative process you have established and, with your help, to create an article that is neutral, informative and thorough. Ultimately I would like to use the content of this collaborative work as the basis for Wikipedia articles in other languages in order to maintain consistency and to further share knowledge about the House of Krug.

I would like to work with your guidance and share additional information about Krug with you – information which would be a great contribution to Wikipedia’s continuous improvement. If you are interested by this project, please do not hesitate to contact me. I would be delighted to discuss it with you further.

Kind regards, --Tristan.sbry (talk) 14:55, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

Writing on Krug

Hello, thanks for your message on my talk page. Yes, I've been one of the most active within WP:Wine over time, although I've been less active during the last couple of months. Two of the images in the Champagne Krug article were indeed added by me; I passed by the street outside when I was visiting some other producers in Reims last year, and thought the stack of barrels was worth a photo. When you, as an employee of Krug, wish to add or edit information in the article on Krug, there is one basic policy you need to be aware of: Wikipedia:Conflict of interest (COI). Although the document is long and perhaps somewhat daunting, I recommend that you read it. The next step should be to write a very short presentation on the user page, to clearly indicate who you represent, just as you did on my talk page - note that the COI policy recommends users in your situation "to declare their interests", which you seem to be fully willing to do.

When it comes to the article itself, do you have anything special in mind that you are interested in adding? Or do you just wish to get rid of the (slightly ugly) {{morefootnotes}} template at the top of the article to make it look better? Since Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, a text similar in style to what is written in Jancis Robinson's Oxford Companion to Wine is generally OK, but a profile similar to what can be found in e.g. Richard Juhlin's Champagne Guide is usually not (since it usually contains to much personal opinion and is somewhat promotional in tone). Much of this is encapsulated in the essay (=much less binding than a policy, but still good advice) Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a wine guide. Please be aware that compared to most of the texts produced by corporate communications people - not just related to wine but to any business are - Wikipedia texts tend to be quite "dry" and factual.

Champagne Krug Page

Hi Tomas,

Many thanks for your answer and your user guide, it's very helpful.

I just received a first version of the plan we would like to work on with Wikipedia's contributors.

As you can see, we are thinking about creating new section and complete some existing sections to be as complete as possible. It also contains some possible modifications we'd like to propose to Wikipedia, if you are ok with that. What do you think about this plan? Is that coherent for you? Do you think it respects Wikipedia's rules?

Once the structure of the page has been validated by the community, in a second way, we will share with you and other interested people, content we are thinking to add in these sections.

I think we will particularly need your help to adapt this content to be sure to respect Wikipedia's rules. We are trying to be as neutral as possible, but being professionals, we use to have bad language habits :)

Again, many thanks for your help. In addition, we are absolutely open to discussion, so do not hesitate to ask us any information you consider relevant for this page, we will do our possible to give you this information.

Best regards. Champagne Krug (talk) 09:57, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

KRUG / WIKIPEDIA / PROPOSED PLAN

Images: replace the current logo with the new one, and perhaps add images of Joseph Krug, the cellars, bottles of Krug, old advertising images, etc.

Contents: Modify both the order of the contents (with a view to making the page more accessible) and the terminology (to make it more in keeping with the Krug history).

♦ Champagnes Update the names of the champagnes and give a brief description of the particularities of each cuvee and incorporate some quotes from wine critics (if allowed?)

• Krug Grande Cuvée: blending, reserve wines, recreation of the same taste every year, its bouquet, its taste.
• Krug Rosé: same spirit of recreation as with KGC, "a Krug before it is a Rosé", its bouquet, its taste.

• Krug Collection
• Krug Clos du Mesnil: a single vineyard, a single grape variety, a single year

Relationship with Krug lovers (?)

Mention the House's collaboration with artists who share the same values (Scarlett Hooft Graafland).

♦ Quotes Quotes concerning Krug said by historical characters.

Procedural block

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 if you wish, but if you would prefer to be unblocked for the purpose of changing your username to a username which complies with our username policy, so that your contributions with this username are recorded as contributions of your new username you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice instead. Thank you. ~Amatulić (talk) 23:31, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

Requested username:

tristan.sbry (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

Champagne Krug has been blocked because of its brand Name. I would like to become the only user for this account, and so rename it : tristan.sbry --Champagne Krug (talk) 15:18, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

Accept reason:

Before you do anything else, go over to WP:CHU/Simple and request a change of username.

I must say I am happy to see that this account has been conducting itself in a manner consistent with Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines, using talk pages to suggest changes rather than making edits with a conflict of interest. Please continue this practice. Thanks. ~Amatulić (talk) 17:31, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

Question: Your userpage identifies you as "Margareth Henriquez President & CEO of the House of Krug". Is this still the case? Or is that not you, and you just posted the letter from the President?

I note your username is different. Please note also that only one person is allowed access to an individual Wikipedia account. ~Amatulić (talk) 21:22, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I am Tristan, and I am the author of the article I proposed for this page : [[1]].

I work closely with KRUG. In fact they contacted me to write the copy for this article and I had meetings with Margareth Henriquez (President & CEO of the House of Krug)to do so. The aim of the message of the CEO was to be transparent.

I will precise all that on my user page as I did with Agne27. (BTW: This is my personal account)--Tristan.sbry (talk) 14:40, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

Potential unblock

I am willing to unblock this account as long as you promise to refrain from editing articles related to House of Krug directly, and to provide full disclosure of the connection on your user page, prominently. You must also disclose that you are working in conjunction with users named at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Tristan.sbry. You may use the article talk pages to suggest changes, or the {{request edit}} template to request edits. Requested edits are subject to the same editorial standards as any other, and may not be acted upon. Failure to comply with these guidelines will result in you being reblocked. Please use {{unblock | reason=your reason here ~~~~}}, and in your reason explain that you understand these guidelines, and how you intend to follow through with them.

Request reason:

Because I haven't introduce myself on my personal page, but only on the talk page here [[2]] I will rectify this here. I work for a digital agency servicing Chopard, and share my IP with users here [[3]]. Aware of my Conflict of Interest I assure you that I will follow all your recommendations. I have already proposed a french translation of the Chopard article only on the talk page. Thanks a lot Native, if you need anything more just tell me --Claire.mell12 (talk) 15:16, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

Accept reason:

Thank you for accepting those conditions. NativeForeigner ^Talk 03:33, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

So, some important key things:

1. You and your colleagues may not edit articles with which you have conflict of interest, such as that brand
2. You and your colleagues should never be editing the same articles to avoid conflict and the apearance of false wp:Consensus

(✉→BWilkins←✎) 23:20, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

Hi Bwilkins. Well noted for those two points. Thanks, --Tristan.sbry (talk) 16:35, 25 July 2013 (UTC)

@GoingBatty Thank you very much for your help and the information you sent to me:) Have a good day.

Request reason:

Requesting an IP address block exemption, because ( I have just one IP which is the only way I have to access to Wikipedia. So it would be great if anyone could help me with this and unblock my IP ). Tristan.sbry (talk) 10:21, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Decline reason:

I can find no sign of any block affecting this account now. There is no direct block on the account, no autoblock affecting it, and no block on the IP address that you gave in an earlier unblock request. You actually ask for two things: IP block exemption, and an unblock of your IP address. IP block exemption is not likely to be given unless you can provide persuasive reasons why you need it, and it is impossible to unblock an IP address unless you tell us what address it is. (The IP address you gave before has never been blocked directly. There may have previously been a block which has now expired, either an autoblock or a block on a range of IP addresses including yours, but once an autoblock expires it disappears from view, and once an IP range block has gone, it is totally impractical to find it among the thousands of entries in the block logs without knowing the IP range that was blocked.)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
