July 2021[edit]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing Thomas Fellows (author) for COI editing.

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 ~~~~}}. Drmies (talk) 00:18, 3 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You may edit the talk page and post any edit requests there. I encourage you to learn what Wikipedia is, and how it works, especially for editors with a COI|conflict of interest. Speaking of which, please follow the instructions in WP:DISCLOSE. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 00:19, 3 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your account has been blocked indefinitely for advertising or promotion and violating the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use. This is because you have been making promotional edits to topics in which you have a financial stake, yet you have failed to adhere to the mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a form of conflict of interest (COI) editing which involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is strictly prohibited. Using this site for advertising or promotion is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia.

If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, please read our guide to appealing blocks to understand more about unblock requests, and then add the text {{unblock|reason=your reason here ~~~~}} at the end of your user talk page. For that request to be considered, you must:

Confirm that you have read and understand the Terms of Use and paid editing disclosure requirements.
State clearly how you are being compensated for your edits, and describe any affiliation or conflict of interest you might have with the subjects you have written about.
Describe how you intend to edit such topics in the future.

Makepease, when I wrote "please follow the instructions in WP:DISCLOSE", which part of that did you not understand? Drmies (talk) 14:51, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Hi, I am requesting to be unblocked. I admit to being Fellows' PR rep. If unblocked, when I do make edits, I will make sure they are not promotional in nature and make sure the sources that I use are reliable. Makepeace222 (talk) 12:52, 5 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

This request does not convince me that you understand how to contribute with a conflict of interest, and/or that you want to edit in areas unrelated to your conflict of interest. 331dot (talk) 13:12, 5 August 2021 (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.

Understood. I will put in the

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined.
