Stop spamming
Stop spamming articles with the subscription only country-reports.org links. If you continue, you would be blocked from editing. --Ragib 19:36, 18 February 2006 (UTC)


 * [[Image:Octagon-warning.png|left|30px| ]] You have been temporarily blocked from editing Wikipedia for continuing to add spam links. If you wish to make useful contributions, you are welcome to come back after the block expires.  --Ragib 19:42, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

You emailed me about justification for the block. Well, *all* of your edits were just adding links to the countryreports.org website, to which I presume you are affiliated. The website is a commercial one, and provides only a very small amount of information for free, and asks people to buy subscriptions. Your actions, despite a warning, constitute spamming. Wikipedia's guidelines (see anti-Spamming guidelines) are against such spamming activities. Please refrain from further spamming once your 24 hour block is over. Thanks. --Ragib 20:23, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

I've read the anti-spamming rules and there is nothing in there about commercial sites or subscription sites. --Emulateme 15:47, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Last warning
This is your last warning. The next time you insert a spam link, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. --Khoikhoi 07:10, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi Emulateme. See Spam. It says in the frist paragraph that commercial websites aren't permitted. Usually, people are encouraged to add actual text to articles instead of adding links to their websites. It is considered advertising, despite the fact that they relate to the topics. --Khoikhoi 01:21, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Please do not add any more spam links. You have already been warned several times. Wmahan. 19:16, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended or used for publicity and/or promotional purposes. Please read the following carefully.

Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, celebrity or other well-known individual, or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements, and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but it is considered inappropriate for such groups to use Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.

Probably not. See WP:FAQ/Organization for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, or organization. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.
 * Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?

You are still welcome to write about something other than your company or organization. If you do intend to make useful contributions on some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:
 * What can I do now?


 * Add the text on your user talk page.
 * Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers 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 this reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the 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, please see how to appeal a block.
