Welcome!

Hello, FiftyToOne, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions seem to be advertising or for promotional purposes. Wikipedia does not allow advertising. For more information on this, please see:

June 2017

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Virgin Media. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. — kashmiri ^TALK 14:01, 3 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

October 2017

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you insert a spam link, as you did at TR-069. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted, preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites as well as potentially being penalized by search engines.

December 2017

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add soapboxing, promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at Red Sea, you may be blocked from editing. NewYorkActuary (talk) 18:48, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for advertising or promotion. From your contributions, this seems to be your only purpose.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. -- ferret (talk) 22:58, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

We felt like the references we added to the red sea page were perfectly relevant based on the other references currently visible on that same page. Others seemed way more promotional and we offered a genuine reference to further back up the information that we had added the reference to. For example, with reference [29], which is a link to http://www.dive-the-world.com/diving-sites-egypt.php. Our link was to diving sites that had been directly mentioned on the page. In looking on reference 29, the locations mentioned on the page aren't mentioned on the page it links to. So based on this, we didn't feel that our reference was purely promotional and more relevant than the 29 reference. If that's on there, we would have assumed that our genuinely more helpful reference wouldn't have gotten removed. FiftyToOne (talk) 12:42, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

The edits however were promotional in nature. Also, of a larger concern now is the use of "we" in your unblock request. This request appears to show this is a shared account, which is explicitly not allowed. RickinBaltimore (talk) 13:34, 7 December 2017 (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.
