Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to GTAP. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.

I'm not sure what you are referring to. I was simply updating the page to match our website. I would appreciate the changes I posted be published. I have now posted them twice, and both times they have have reverted to the outdated content. Contactgtap (talk) 17:24, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As previously advised, your edits give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at User:Contactgtap, and the template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Contactgtap|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. •Cyberwolf•talk? 17:38, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I work at the Center for Global Trade Analysis, which is the Center at Purdue University that runs the Global Trade Analysis Project. I am just trying to update the information on the GTAP listing as some of it is out of date. This is quite a hassle, though. Contactgtap (talk) 17:40, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because your account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. Also, your username gives the impression that the account represents a business, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

If you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization, you may request unblock and a username change. In your reasons, you must:

Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement; and
Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked; and
Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked; and
Provide a new username.

To do this, post the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken and in use by another account. You can go here to search and see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns that no global account with that username exists, that means it is available to be taken.

Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks, you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 17:41, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is absurd. I am simply trying to update the information about GTAP to match what we have listed on our website https://www.gtap.agecon.purdue.edu/default.asp.

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

This is absurd. I am simply trying to update the information about GTAP to match what we have listed on our website https://www.gtap.agecon.purdue.edu/default.asp. Contactgtap (talk) 17:43, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

It's unfortunate that you find observing our polices to be "absurd". You have not proposed a new username as instructed. Wikipedia articles primarily summarize what independent reliable sources say about a topic, not what it says about itself. The article should not match the content of your website. Please see WP:COI and WP:PAID, and tell us how your editing will change, as well as any other topics unrelated to your conflict of interest you might edit about. I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 17:53, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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.
