Conflict of interest
Hello, Dtwinlauser. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the COI guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. – Athaenara ✉  09:14, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

Blocked
You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for advertising or promotion. From your contributions, this seems to be your only purpose. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:. – Athaenara ✉  09:14, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

I believe there has been a misunderstanding, perhaps entirely on my part, but I would like to explain none-the-less.

I had noticed that other lead characters in two projects that Joseph Lee was credited in, had their own WIKI pages. When I created my WIKI account I understood the WIKI policy of COI and therefore I did disclose that I am a talent manager and the subject of my first attempt at an article was a client.

I wrote the WIKI article to simply report what Joseph had performed in as an actor and accomplished as a painter/fine artist. I never mentioned our company name or Joseph's representatives; I never linked to any company or representative websites. My assumption was that as long as I could provide accurate source footnotes without commentary or opinion, the article would be considered. And in December it was considered, but the editor had determined that the “subject was not sufficiently notable for inclusion.” I was disappointed, but understood. And I also understood that unless I had anything significant to add, the article would be remove in six months.

Today I signed on to start taking some of the WIKI tutorials so that I could investigate how to contribute on subjects that are of interest to me, only to see that in June an editor tagged the article to be removed as "spam" and then had my account "blocked indefinitely."

I am asking for the block of my account to be reconsidered. I thought I had followed the COI rules when creating my account and creating the first and only article I submitted. I accepted that the article was rejected and that I should learn more before jumping into another subject. But I do not understand why, having been rejected in December, the article was tagged as "spam" in June and how this was cause to block my account.

Thank you for your time and consideration. Respectfully Dtwinlauser (talk) 21:34, 3 September 2019 (UTC)

Which is why I do not understand how the article was tagged as "spam" six months later in June and how this was cause to block my account.

Today I signed on to see if there was a response to my previous unblock request with explanation (from September 3) and again take some of the WIKI tutorials so that I could make contributions to other topics in the future. Since there has been no response to that request, I am again asking for the block of my account to be reconsidered.

I do apologize but I thought I had followed the COI rules when creating my account and creating the first and only article I submitted. I accepted that the article was rejected and that I should learn more about WIKI article creation and editing before jumping into any other subject. I do hope I will be given that opportunity.

It seems to me that Dtwinlauser's assurances about future editing completely address the reasons for the block, so that unblocking is reasonable. Do you wish to express any opinion? JBW (talk) Formerly JamesBWatson 12:44, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
