This account isn't directly blocked. What was the name of your other account? 331dot (talk) 09:44, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Also, please read WP:COI. You need to declare that you are a paid editor and have not yet done so. --Yamla (talk) 09:44, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
 * The other account created was StratX Simulations. There is also another account associated with the block to the Markstrat page that was created in an attempt to edit the page called DMacAp. I don't know if that is also blocking me from updating the Markstrat page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aprilstratx (talk • contribs)
 * Quite honestly I'm not certain that the game merits an article at all, the article is only sourced to your company website. The main purpose of a Wikipedia article is to summarize what independent reliable sources choose to say about a topic. 331dot (talk) 10:12, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your reply. The article needs updating, including adding independent sources apart from the company website. I would like to be able to do this. What can I do to make this happen? Aprilstratx (talk) 10:31, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Here are some reliable external sources I would like to add to the article:
 * https://medium.com/@matthew.fernandez/markstrat-tips-introduction-how-to-win-markstrat-2018-beed406a8d05
 * https://www.insead.edu/faculty-research/simulations/markstrat
 * I would also like to update the platform format and include updated information about the simulation. Aprilstratx (talk) 13:35, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
 * No. Please reread WP:RS. These are not reliable sources. --Yamla (talk) 13:57, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Second that. I think that you misunderstand the purpose of a Wikipedia article, which is not merely documenting the existence of the game and telling about it. We need to summarize what independent reliable sources say is significant or influential about the game. 331dot (talk) 14:00, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Would this article qualify? https://www.forbes.com/sites/michellegreenwald/2014/09/15/gamification-in-everything-the-range-and-when-and-why-its-so-effective/?sh=116f65726d32 Aprilstratx (talk) 14:40, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
 * No. See WP:FORBESCON. This article is written by a "contributor", not by Forbes staff. --Yamla (talk) 15:08, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
