Hello, Karenboman. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * 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 must 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 WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. 2601:188:180:1481:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 19:50, 20 March 2019 (UTC)


 * You appear to be using the company's press releases as sources; these are not considered neutral or WP:RELIABLE. And you seem to be lifting passages verbatim from these sources, which is a copyright violation. I'll request administrative assistance. 2601:188:180:1481:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 19:55, 20 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Karenboman, please see WP:COIPAYDISCLOSE and act accordingly, or I will have no choice but to block your account and, perhaps, take other measures pertaining to the article to prevent further undisclosed COI editing. Drmies (talk) 21:59, 20 March 2019 (UTC)

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did on Oceaneering International. This violates Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Chris Troutman ( talk ) 20:05, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Karen Boman, please don't see I didn't warn you. Drmies (talk) 01:01, 23 March 2019 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because it appears that you are not here to build an encyclopedia. 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 have fixed your request so it is properly visible; someone else will review it. However, while blocked the only legitimate use of this page is to request to be unblocked, you cannot use it to request that others make edits on your behalf. Have you changed your mind about participating here? 331dot (talk) 21:01, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
