May 2014[edit]

Warning icon Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add soapboxing, promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing.  —SMALLJIM  19:10, 22 May 2014 (UTC) (For the complete picture, see User talk:RADodge Services.  —SMALLJIM )[reply]


im not promoting anything, all im doing is giving a bio of the company, all the info about the company. nothing on my post has anything to do with trying to get more people to buy my services nore am i adding sales or anything

"Is still going strong today"?? This is why we don't like people to write about themselves and their businesses on Wikipedia. Don't do it again. NawlinWiki (talk) 19:28, 22 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

And if you want to read the actual guideline that prohibits what you are doing, it's at Wikipedia:User pages.  —SMALLJIM  19:30, 22 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

nothing in the guideline says anything about not saying "and still going strong". and what do you mean write about themselves??? everyone on wiki talks about themselves.

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 why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.   —SMALLJIM  22:23, 22 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

i took out the part you noted. i have no idea why else i would be blocked. this is unfair and you abuse your power

Note that there are comments from two of us above: User:NawlinWiki added the comment about people writing about themselves and their businesses, and a couple of minutes later I added the link to the user page guideline that clearly explains what our user pages are for, and why what you have added is not appropriate here.
As the block notice says, you can appeal the decision – but you will have to convince an uninvolved administrator that you intend to contribute something of value to our articles. If all you want to do is write about yourself, you're in the wrong place and should instead use Facebook, LinkedIn or something along those lines. You won't be allowed to include details of your company here because that's not what Wikipedia is for. The only proviso to that is if you could show, with evidence, that the company meets our stringent conditions of Notability. I hope this explains the situation to you.  —SMALLJIM  22:54, 22 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]


its not all about myself. its about a business, and just like every other business that iv looked at on here, everyone has the same type of info about their business. who started it, how it got started, where it got started, what its doing now, how it got there, who took over what and more. how was my post any different??? if you guys would help me and tell what what the heck it is im doing wrong and not ban me every time we wouldn't have this problem.
