Hello, I'm MichaelMaggs. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Bollard have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. MichaelMaggs (talk) 13:12, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Fender (boating). While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.

 Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because of the following problems: 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, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

You may request a change of username and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization. To do this, first search Special:CentralAuth for available usernames that comply with the username policy. Once you have found an acceptable username, post the text  at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked. In your reasons, you must: Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks, you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text  at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 13:36, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the Paid-contribution disclosure requirement.
 * 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.


 * I have moved your unblock request, as new talk page postings should be placed at the bottom. This is so that discussions appear in their correct chronological order. An administrator will review your block request when time permits. Thank you. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 14:37, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi Castle Hills AS, to avoid all concerns about promotional issues you should apply to change your username to something unassociated with the company for whom you work. Uploading of hard-to-acquire images of maritime-related products is fine, and very welcome, but before doing so you should use Photoshop or similar software to blur-out the company name and logo. As required by the COI guidelines, you must avoid writing about your company's business (which includes not mentioning them by name, either in text or in image captions). I'm not an admin here, so I can't directly deal with your unblock request, but if you agree and confirm that your intent is to add neutral information about maritime products, recycling or whatever, then you'll have a good chance of being unblocked. Specialist editors such as you are very welcome, and I'm sure there won't be any issues once you've reviewed the various guidelines mentioned. MichaelMaggs (talk) 15:12, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
