User talk:Black Salve Helps

November 2016
There have been two problems identified with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Widr (talk) 08:22, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

OK, look, you don't seem to be listening to what you are being told, so I'll try one more time - and if you don't listen and change your approach, you are going to lose the ability to edit this talk page. Now, if you wish to be unblocked, you will have to propose a new username by following the instructions in the block message, and agree to stop trying to push the alleged benefits of black salve. If you don't do both of those, your block will be extended to prevent you editing this talk page too. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 09:11, 23 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I have already told you that whether you are one person or a company is not relevant, it is your user name and your user page content that are the problems.
 * You say you are not "advertising", but promotion is not limited to direct advertising. Promotion, in Wikipedia terms, encompasses advocacy for a product or position of some sort - including using Wikipedia to push your own personal opinion of something. You were blatantly using your user page to tell us what you believe are the benefits of black salve. Your Wikipedia user page is for you to tell us a little about yourself in relation to your work here on the project, and not for you to present your own personal opinions in opposition to the content of Wikipedia articles.
 * Your username is also presenting an advocacy/promotional viewpoint, and that is not allowed.
 * If there was any evidence for the efficacy of black salve (as a cancer cure among whatever other benefits its proponents claim), then the article Black salve would be the place for it - but you would need reliable sources that are compliant with WP:MEDRS, and there is none as far as I can see. As it stands, the article presents the balance of reliable medical sources (and not "someone else here on wiki that shows all of Black Salves down sides"). And that is the appropriate way for Wikipedia medical articles to be written, as decided by community consensus.
 * If you think there are any WP:MEDRS-compliant sources that support the claims made for black salve, you should present them at the article's talk page, Talk:Black salve, for discussion and review. And if there is a consensus in agreement with you, the article can be updated accordingly. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 09:19, 23 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is very careful when it comes to making claims for alternative medical products, especially things like alleged cancer cures, as innocent people die when they are gulled into believing bogus claims and pursue them instead of seeking proper medical treatment.
