Good day, please take a read through the guidelines on how to cite reliable sources when adding material to articles. Thanks! DP 76764 (Talk) 18:50, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for using Wikipedia for promotion, attempting to suppress well-sourced information which you do not wish to see publicised, and evading a block on one or more other accounts. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. JamesBWatson (talk) 08:20, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

Are you telling me that Wikipedia violates the United States Constitution? I will keep that in mind......
 * No. I'm telling you the 'right of free speech' does not apply in places like Wikipedia. It applies to government imposed restrictions. See Freedom of speech in the United States. Peridon (talk) 19:24, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

I cant seem to find anywhere in this "Freedom of speech in the United States" page (which happens to be on wikipedia, which i don't trust at all anymore) that 'right of free speech' does not apply in places like Wikipedia. If you could maybe describe to me where this is made clear, I would appreciate it. Thank you.
 * Please sign talk page posts with ~ . It's not in that article. That tells you what the freedom of speech is in the US Constitution and the other legislation affecting speech and publication. In other words, the US rules for what you can and can't do - in general. You can say fairly much what you think of Wikipedia on a talk page - but it won't address the reason for you being blocked and won't help your case. You may well not have intended to advertise. It came over as promotional, and was removed for that reason - the appearance being the reason, not any possible intention. The fact that it was referenced to a press release didn't help. The info might well be of value if written in a neutral way WP:NPOV and referenced to a reliable source WP:RS. But please remember that just as any publisher can decide whether to publish something or not, so can the Wikipedia community that has created the rules that Wikipedia operates under. Barring the use of uncalled for profanity or attack, or making legal threats, you are enjoying a freedom to comment here. (Making legal threats brings an instant block until the matter is resolved.) I declined to unblock you because you didn't seem to understand why JamesBWatson took the action he did. I gave you some reading material to help to explain the situation. Have you read those policies? If not, I suggest you do, and then make another appeal based on that reading. I won't decline it - I'd leave that to the decision of another admin. I might well accept it, though, if you convince me that you do understand. I can't speak for JamesBWatson, but in the time I've known him here I've found him to be fair minded - and he might beat me to accepting a well worded appeal.
