This is your only warning; if you use Wikipedia for soapboxing, promotion or advertising again, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Do not mass spam urls. CHRISSY MAD  ❯❯❯  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  13:40, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for advertising or promotion. From your contributions, this seems to be your only purpose. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:.

 * Would you agree to not edit about or post links to your blog?  is there anything else you would like to see for an unblock? 331dot (talk) 19:29, 27 August 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm okay with whatever decision you decide to make about unblocking. Jauerbackdude?/dude. 19:33, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

Iholdtheline (talk) 19:45, 27 August 2018 (UTC) Wow, you're fast. I'm willing to agree with that, but can I ask whether the reason is primarily the inherent conflict of interest? For the future, if Project Upland gained enough substantial notability from discussion in appropriate sources, is the editing of a draft for a Project Upland page something I could participate in, even if I am plagued with the unremovable plague of bias? To be honest, the fact that I would want to participate sort of disqualifies me, I guess. I want to play by the rules, but also I need to do my job so my situation sort of sucks, haha. If I can in any way do some small portion of my job, which would be using a relevant citation to our blog, and also play by the rules, that would be great. TL;DR —> What would you recommend I do in my situation? Should we just leave wikipedia alone as a company, even if my supervisors are convinced we have sufficient notoriety? (Quick note: I am NOT convinced for an article, but am for citations.) If asking advice of you here is inappropriate, I can take my discussion to the teahouse and ask there. I just figure that you both saw my edits and know what I'm about from five minutes of reading my garbage.
 * I will amend my request slightly; would you agree to not directly edit about your blog, instead making edit requests on article talk pages?(I would suggest one at a time) It would be strongly advised that you not attempt to write an article about your blog per the conflict of interest policy.
 * Since you state that you work for Project Upland, you will need to review and comply with the paid editing policy(which is required by Wikipedia's Terms of Use). 331dot (talk) 19:59, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

Iholdtheline (talk) 20:01, 27 August 2018 (UTC) That sounds entirely reasonable. I agree to that. Thank you.
