Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Wiffle ball. Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. DVdm (talk) 16:35, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You are not citing any basis for your reasoning that trademarks are not appropriate. It is important context to the game from a historical perspective. Where in WIKI policies does it say you are correct? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.51.38.130 (talk) 16:41, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop[edit]

Trademarks don't belong in lead. TheAwesome Hwyh 16:35, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You are not citing any basis for this conclusion. It is important historical context to the game. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.51.38.130 (talk) 16:40, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

January 2020[edit]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia. TheAwesome Hwyh 16:38, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits referred to above, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so that you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

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 ~~~~}}.

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).

65.51.38.130 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I was blocked for adding a trademark that is important historical context to the game. No basis was cited for the idea that it is not appropriate to include citation to the trademark as historical context and to explain the genesis of the game — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.51.38.130 (talk) 16:45, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

This is inaccurate. You were blocked for violating WP:EW. The content of your edit is not relevant, only your edit-warring. Yamla (talk) 16:57, 17 January 2020 (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.

WP:COI[edit]

Hello 65.51.38.130. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to Wiffle ball, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat SEO.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:65.51.38.130. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=65.51.38.130|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. TheAwesome Hwyh 16:50, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Pickleball Ball[edit]

Hello, 65.51.38.130. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Pickleball Ball".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! UnitedStatesian (talk) 14:44, 17 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, 65.51.38.130. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Wiffle ball ‎, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Per your edit summary here [1] you have a clear conflict of interest and are a WP:PAID editor. You must follow the requirements. Meters (talk) 21:03, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
