Information icon Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Mortise lock. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. 🇺🇲JayCubby✡ plz edit my user pg! Talk 14:18, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Warning icon Please stop. If you continue to add promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at Mortise lock, you may be blocked from editing. 🇺🇲JayCubby✡ plz edit my user pg! Talk 14:21, 5 March 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. Courcelles (talk) 14:33, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I had no idea i couldn't add my co. name, was trying to help. LockMonster-1 (talk) 16:01, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@LockMonster-1 You can still be unblocked, just go over the COI guidelines. Although the addition of "The hardest part is the main body that you have to cut out with a spade bit, be very careful not to drill off centre." to the article on Mortise lock wasn't promotional or block-worthy, you were adding a link to your own website, which violates several rules of WP:ELNO. Basically, you were inserting links designed to promote your company. 🇺🇲JayCubby✡ plz edit my user pg! Talk 16:09, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
ok, sorry, i won't do that again, didn't know. LockMonster-1 (talk) 16:52, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I am not an administrator, but if you'd like you can fill out an unblock request. Be sure to read the conflict of interest guidelines and the guide to appealing blocks. Just saying "I'm sorry, it will not happen again" will not get you an unblock, you have to show you understand the rules around COI and advertising. 🇺🇲JayCubby✡ plz edit my user pg!
