Hello, I'm Amkgp. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to CHAdeMO 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. — Amkgp 💬  14:18, 28 November 2020 (UTC)

Hi Amkgp, thank you for reviewing the update. We have no intentions to advertise or promote any of the services referenced in the contribution, including the website chargefinder.com that I represent. We are linking to the statistical source page of the most up-to-date numbers of CHAdeMO chargers in different countries around the world. These statistics have not been updated since 2017 in an industry with a large number of changes in 3 years. After researching several sources we put together an updated column where we put what we believe is the most trusted source for each number. We do link to two other websites, goingelectric.de, which is for-profit with advertisement generating income. The other is plugshare.com which is a commercial product by company Recargo, Inc. Since these two resources are referenced before here, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CHAdeMO#cite_ref-35, and here, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CHAdeMO#cite_ref-:0_36-0, we assumed that the way they were referred to would be accepted in an updated contribution. Kind regards, Elin @ ChargeFinder (talk) 17:14, 28 November 2020 (UTC)

 Your account has been blocked indefinitely 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 or other organisation or group or a web site, which is against the username policy.

You may request a change of name and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions other than 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:
 * 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.

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. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:35, 28 November 2020 (UTC)

You will need to make the Terms of Use required paid editing disclosure as you clearly work for the company that produces this app. You should also read conflict of interest, promotion, and how to make edit requests. It is doubtful that you will be unblocked to contribute about your app right now; our experience is that allowing those in your position to dive right in to making edit related to a COI is a waste of time for everyone(including the editor) unless you have demonstrated that you understand relevant Wikipedia policies regarding article content, typically this is done by building up an edit history of edits in other areas. If your only interest here is to edit about your app, you most likely aren't going to be unblocked, but someone else will review this request. 331dot (talk) 09:15, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
