Welcome!

[edit]

Hello, Yourstorysmith, 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:

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 request an unblock by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  caknuck ° needs to be running more often 05:05, 24 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I request to be unblocked as an editor, as I now understand how my role as Wikipedia editor works. I was blocked for advertising or promotion, as I sent messages to previous editors of Wikipedia pages instead of making the changes on my own. I've read the various instruction pages and understand why I was blocked. Please kindly unblock me and I will not do it again, and will make productive contributions instead.

Decline reason:

No, that you messaged random people is not the reason for the block. That you're single-mindedly pushing links to a single website is a problem, namely linkspam. That wouldn't be any better if you added linkspam yourself. I rather don't think we'd have any scruples about adding "The Wall Street Journal's sister publication" to the spam blacklist if necessary. Probably WP:PAID also applies to you. Huon (talk) 10:44, 9 July 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.
