Hello, Infowws. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Wicked Witch Software, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted.   aeschylus (talk) 00:36, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

 You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because your account is being used only for advertising or promotion. 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:.

I didn't realize to be a member of Wiki a user must look to comment on more than one topic? How is it that members are expected to be passionate about more than one topic? I just think it's unfair how there is no warnings for newbies, at least I wasn't given one to make amends. Harsh considering all information was actually correct and factual. Yes some areas weren't cited (which I learnt from BUT some areas removed actually were and were just facts. I could completely understand if it was complete gibberish or offensive, but my edits contained none of that. Thanks Infowws (talk) 22:55, 27 May 2021 (UTC)}} Users aren't required to be interested in multiple topics- but you are blocked for promotional editing, and in order to be unblocked you will need to demonstrate that you understand the relevant policies (hint, we aren't looking for mere factual edits) and how to contribute by contributing in other areas. Once you develop a good edit history by editing in other areas, you may later be permitted to indirectly contribute in areas related to your COI, but we won't unblock you to only make COI related edits because that does not demonstrate your understanding of policies. 331dot (talk) 23:05, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

I will add that warnings are not required to be given in egregious cases such as clear promotional editing. 331dot (talk) 23:07, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your explanation. So originally I thought I was blocked for promotional COI but then revisited what I wrote and none of it was seeking cta's and so from my investigation I ask, what the areas were of promotional editing that I have done? I'm actually getting confused now and pose no threat to anyone but just want to be able to add information to this page (that's not COI of wiki which I have quickly learnt about but am unable to use any of these learnings now due to being blocked and most likely (from what I keep getting back) won't ever be unlocked. Thanks Infowws (talk) 04:14, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
 * You only need one open unblock request at a time, subsequent comments should be standard, unformatted comments like this. 331dot (talk) 08:08, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
 * You don't have to be soliciting customers or selling something to be editing promotionally on Wikipedia. It's promotional to tell us the company's version of its own history; we are interested in what others say about it, not what it says about itself. 331dot (talk) 08:13, 28 May 2021 (UTC)

Someone else will review your request, but you will need to tell us what topics you want to edit about. 331dot (talk) 07:47, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
