User talk:HoneyMalt

November 2019
Hello HoneyMalt. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to Goldie Chan, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat SEO.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:HoneyMalt. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. creffett (talk) 00:04, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for advertising or promotion. From your contributions, this seems to be your only purpose.

Unblock request
Personally, I don't buy your explanation. Your edits were not the actions of a new account. Do you have another account? Have you previously edited Wikipedia? What edits would you intend to make if you were unblocked? &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 21:06, 29 November 2019 (UTC)

Hi Martin, thanks for taking the time to respond to this. I am a long time lurker and do not have another account and haven't previously made edits to Wikipedia prior to this account. I although I guess I should be kind of flattered, I am kind of at a loss for words on how else to explain/prove to you that this is really my first time dipping my toes into Wikipedia. I spent a long time researching and looking over the Wiki guidelines on how to construct a page thoughtfully and took inspiration from viewing the sources for existing pages of similar people - I spent more than 6 consecutive hours in creating that article and days of research beforehand, so (correct me if I'm wrong) I'm guessing that's why it doesn't "present as a new account." I tried to be as meticulous as possible and it backfired. When I was blocked, it was a shock to me. I wrote such a lengthy appeal because I looked into the appeal guidelines for that too and just want to do it in the best way I possibly can. As I mentioned above, if given the chance, I would love to contribute edits in the realm of modern entrepreneurship, apparel brands, and marketing in general. If unblocked, I have no desire to put myself in a situation to be blocked again. Please let me know if you have any other questions. I truly am here to try to make a difference in my edits and have definitely learned a lot from this situation. Thank you again for your time. HoneyMalt (talk) 03:19, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

Sorry, wasn't sure if I am supposed to ping you above, so I am editing to add this:. I hope that's okay. Thank you! HoneyMalt (talk) 03:23, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

Hi, I saw the procedural decline. Do you mind helping to direct me on how to get another admin to review my request and consider my appeal? I would really appreciate it. Thank you! HoneyMalt (talk) 18:39, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
 * WP:GAB is the official answer to this. You are free to make a new unblock request if you wish. --Yamla (talk) 18:49, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
