Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Steamroller Assault (talk) 00:16, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

Heather, I see that this appears to be you. Can I ask if anyone else from your company is using this account to edit Wikipedia, and if you have read and understood this policy? ( talk→  BWilkins   ←track ) 10:42, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Hi. Yes I've now read both pages and understand their aim/content. I don't think anyone else is using my account. My request is to have http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Negarmottahedeh unblocked as that user and I aren't associated, and it would be unfair for someone to be blocked without sufficient grounds.

 * I apologise if this isn't a case of sockpuppetry, but your edits and User:Negarmotahedeh's raised a red flag since you were both posting links to the exact same site, and your edits were reverted not only by me, but by other users as well. That, and the fact you both posted in quick succession to an unrelated article, made you fail the duck test, which is why I submitted a sockpuppet investigation report, which is what got you blocked in the end. IP checking is only done in special cases (usually long-term abuse and persistent vandalism) by administrators with checkuser permissions. I'm not an admin so I can't unblock you, but if you do get unblocked I suggest you read WP:EL and WP:RS and familiarise yourself with Wikipedia's policies regarding external links and sources. X X X antiuser eh? 23:36, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Heather, as you have knowledge of the industry because you are in the industry, are obviously some WP:COI concerns. At the same time, you have some unique knowledge to add. As such, I would be willing to unblock your account based on the following: You cannot request unblock for someone else - indeed, based on what occurred, any unblock handling for the other account should include a technical verification of IP address used to edit (known as a checkuser). If they wish to be unblocked, they can ask. The concern is of course WP:SOCK and WP:MEAT - false consensus is a no-no. Do you understand and agree?

 * your company website or related websites cannot be used as external links, references, or for images
 * you continue to ensure that this is not a shared role account
 * all aspects of WP:COI are adhered to

Bwilkins: I understand and accept. Thanks. Heather Smith 15:15, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
