There have been two problems 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 or a web site, 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. Additionally, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

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 that 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. To do so, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the text at the bottom of your talk page, replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason for thinking that the block was an error, and publish the page.

 * Just to clarify, I will grant that the one edit you did make wasn't horrible spam, but since you are using the name of an SEO/PR company it seems a safe assumption that your goal was related to image management for a client. Beeblebrox (talk) 20:40, 1 October 2019 (UTC)

I have renamed your account from Saltboxsolutions. 331dot (talk) 07:40, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Emily7829852, are you refusing to answer the questions I've asked of you? Note also that "providing only unbiased information" is not sufficient to comply with WP:COI. --Yamla (talk) 10:45, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Per Beeblebrox, I'm concerned about whether or not you are an undeclared paid editor|undeclared paid editor. Please read and heed WP:COI and WP:PAID. Ah, researching for work and gaps. Interesting. What are the companies you are researching for work? Have you some relationship, even indirectly, to any of them? As you have a Masters in English, (something I coveted and know what it takes to earn) you see what I'm driving at. Oh, and all PAID editors are here to post factual information.--  Deep fried  okra    11:02, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

I do not plan to contribute to information about myself, family, friends, clients, employers, or your financial and other relationships. I am not getting paid for this. Gaps I have encountered, for example, would be a needed Lexical Categories page.
 * As you are refusing to answer the questions I have posed, I strongly oppose your unblock. Other admins are free to ignore my opinion, of course. --Yamla (talk) 13:03, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi Yamala, I am sorry for the confusion, but I thought I did answer your questions. Is "I do not plan to contribute to information about myself, family, friends, clients, employers, or your financial and other relationships. I am not getting paid for this" not sufficient to comply with WP:COI?
 * You have not specifically answered the questions: Do you work for Saltbox Solutions? Is Alan Larkin a client?(you having no association with him does not preclude the possibility) How specifically will you abide by WP:COI going forward? Also, please sign your posts with ~ . 331dot (talk) 13:21, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi there, This account is not affiliated with Saltbox Solutions. Andrew Larken is not a client. I have absolutely no professional or personal association with Alan Larken. As noted above, the page just came up in the "random" selection of pages on the lefthand panel. I plan to abide by the WP:COI not contributing to pages about myself, family, friends, clients, employers, or my financial and other relationships. Also, I am not getting paid for this.
 * I didn't ask about the account, I asked about you. --Yamla (talk) 13:44, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

I had no clue this was such an aggressive platform. The original account name I chose was a play on words for my work email, but it is not a work account. I had no clue that there were personal workplace requirements to write here. I will gladly delete my account if this is the sort of encounters that I should expect regularly. Yamala, I hope that you find happiness in your endeavors and kindness in your future encounters. Best, Emily
 * Accounts cannot be deleted; if you no longer wish to edit, simply abandon the account. If you later change your mind, you will still need to make an unblock request. 331dot (talk) 15:58, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
