Hello, and welcome! Although everyone is welcome to contribute, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Pannus with this edit, did not appear to be constructive, and has been reverted or removed. Thank you! Geoff Who, me?  22:41, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Stories We Tell. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

COI
Hello, 204.19.162.2. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may need to consider our guidance on conflicts of interest.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. ~Amatulić (talk) 22:34, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

Blocked
I am blocking this IP address because it is being used only for spamming links to your own site. If you are also (edits from that account are substantially identical), you have evidently failed to understand how to edit here when you have a conflict of interest. ~Amatulić (talk) 22:34, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

 * If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk.
 * If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider.

Over a period of several years, this IP address has been persistently used for the purpose of publicity or promotion, which is contrary to Wikipedia policy. As can be seen above, it has been explained in the past that Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion, and editors using this IP address have also had attention called to Wikipedia's guidelines on conflict of interest, but that has not led to a change in editing practices. It is possible that over the course of years more than one editor has used this IP address to edit on behalf of the same organisation, in which case recent edits may have been made by one or more people who were unaware of the messages above. That sort of possibility is one of the advantages of using an individual account to edit, rather than editing anonymously. In any case, since this IP address has persistently been used over a long period for editing in ways that are contrary to Wikipedia policies and guidelines, and since a short block of the IP address in the past failed to produce any change, editing from this IP address has been disabled again, for a much longer period. If you believe there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.
