User talk:Hcampbell928

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.

 * I have formatted your unblock request so that another administrator will review it. Please review the disclosure requirements for paid editors.
 * , I'm not sure I see how updating an already-present link is promotional. Would you agree to an unblock if the username issue is resolved and the editor agrees to comply with the disclosure requirements? Huon (talk) 21:28, 17 April 2019 (UTC)


 * I have globally renamed TROY-marketing to Hcampbell928. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 22:00, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
 * A company named account (TROY-Marketing) posting about their company is advertising/spamming. Account blocked. Now that they have been renamed, and the user has admitted being paid, user must declare s/he is paid to edit articles. User must read Wikipedia's mandatory and non-negotiable policy on paid editing. User must also read about conflicts of interest and understand that Wikipedia is not a place for advertising or promotion of your organization or services, so after complying with these requirements, they must tread lightly in this area. To be clear, I oppose a lifting of the block until user unequivocally states they have read and understood the linked pages, and what they plan to do in the future in this area. -- Alexf(talk) 01:47, 18 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Of course they need to comply with the disclosure requirement, and that they named the account after the company indicates that they're not trying to fly under the radar, though it violates the username policy. I disagree with the "is advertising/spamming" part: As they said, they were updating an already-present link that had gotten broken after they re-organized the company website. Would the article have been less spammy with a broken link to their site than with a functional one? Hardly. WP:BITE applies to good-faith paid editors, too, and this seems rather bitey to me.

 * Endorse unblock conditional on WP:PAID compliance, which looks largely met.  Dloh Cier  ekim  14:29, 18 April 2019 (UTC)
