Your account has been blocked indefinitely for advertising or promotion and violating the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use. This is because you have been making promotional edits to topics in which you have an undisclosed financial stake, yet you have failed to adhere to the mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a form of conflict of interest (COI) editing which involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is strictly prohibited. Using this site for advertising or promotion is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, please read our guide to appealing blocks to understand more about unblock requests, and then add the text at the end of your user talk page. For that request to be considered, you must:
 * Confirm that you have read and understand the Terms of Use and paid editing disclosure requirements.
 * State clearly how you are being compensated for your edits, and describe any affiliation or conflict of interest you might have with the subjects you have written about.
 * Describe how you intend to edit such topics in the future. MER-C 19:41, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
 * To answer your email: you are blocked for both reasons, and more. Wikipedia is a volunteer curated encyclopedia. We decide what gets included. Paid-for spam is not welcome here. MER-C 16:34, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
 * You will not be unblocked to write about Mr. Arieli. Also, stop emailing me. You can edit this page. And yes, this is spam. MER-C 16:44, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
 * I see. I can only say I was not paid for that edit and didn't realize it would be considered spam by an admin. Sorry for the emails. Can I ask then that you remove the entry for Arieli entirely? It would be greatly appreciated.
 * Done. MER-C 17:06, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
