User talk:LiveProud

June 2019
There have been two problems with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group or a web site, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing. Additionally, If you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In that reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block. To do so, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the text at the bottom of your talk page, replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason for thinking that the block was an error, and publish the page.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   23:51, 1 June 2019 (UTC)

 * I've fixed your request and removed a duplicate one; your request didn't have the closing brackets on it so it did not display properly. 331dot (talk) 11:20, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Someone else will review your request, but are you saying that you get no money from being an owner of the company? Why own the company, then? 331dot (talk) 11:22, 3 June 2019 (UTC)

As the owner of a startup, I invested in the brand; however, we are contributing to invest in our brand but receiving no money until the time in the future where I will receive dividends once we turn a profit. LiveProud (talk) 12:02, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Okay, but WP:PAID states "If you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you to edit"(my emphasis). You still must declare as a paid editor(once unblocked). 331dot (talk) 12:04, 3 June 2019 (UTC)

Thank you. I think the best route to get the product added to the list of vodka will be to request a change and wait for an editor to review its validity. LiveProud (talk) 13:02, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
 * I think it would be best to not use Wikipedia to promote a product.Dlohcierekim (talk) 22:42, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
