Unblock I apologize for what seems to be considered spamming. I have to be honest and say that I had hired an SEO firm to help me with link building for my web site Swags Galore. Turns out they were not able to do a very good job. They attempted to get my web site (a number of times) added as a link to wikipedia which I was unaware of.

Shortly their after I decided to apply as an editor on Wikipedia and write content about window treatments since that is my expertise. If you evaluate the content that I wrote for the window valance page I'm sure you will agree. I believe I can offer much content to Wikipedia, I have 25 years experience in the window treatments industry and I own many web sites, so I understand the web.

I was hoping based on my contribution to Wikipedia that I would be able to insert my web site as a reference for valances. I'm sorry I did that now but I'm hoping you will understand.

I will say that Swags Galore has been in existence since 1999 and is America's Online Curtain Superstore. It has much to offer anyone wanting to know about curtains, valances, installation, fabrics, design ETC...

Please reconsider unblocking me I will try my best to do better. Curtainguru (talk) 22:33, 30 September 2013 (UTC) Thanks Gene West
 * No. Furthermore, your site has been blacklisted for blatant spamming. Wikipedia is not an advertising forum. OhNo itsJamie  Talk 15:11, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

Unblock I wasn’t trying to advertise on Wikipedia, I was attempting to add a link that would be helpful to someone doing research about window valances since that is what we do. I researched other pages on Wikipedia and there were links to other sites that are similar to mine. For example on the Curtain page there is a link to Country Curtains, http://www.countrycurtains.com/category/100+curtains/108+lined+curtains.do On the Blinds page there is a link to Select Blinds, http://www.selectblinds.com/ and Blinds.com, http://www.blinds.com/control/infopage?page=article_choosing-by-window.html/ So again I apologize for my ignorance I was just using the template of other categories as the example. It’s confusing to me when you say inserting a link is unacceptable when it appears in other categories/listings. I would be willing to make generous monetary contribution to help support the Wikipedia. If you would please reconsider unblocking Swags Galore. I don’t think the users of Wikipedia should be penalized from accessing information that America’s Online Curtain Superstore, Swags Galore has to offer. I made an error in judgment, please except my apologies. Gene WestCurtainguru (talk) 16:29, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
