User talk:MapTrove

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.

I wish to provide information about maps. Many articles about countries and cities already feature a map but things like maps coverage area are not explained. Since I have experience in this field, I can contribute this information which would be helpful to the readers who are viewing the images. MapTrove (talk) 10:19, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
 * It's going to be difficult for you to directly edit about maps since that is your field and what your blog is about. Are there any other subjects you want to edit about? You will also need to specifically agree to not edit about or link to your blog. 331dot (talk) 10:27, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

Other than maps, I can provide updated information about geology and geography of a particular location. And yes, I do agree to not edit about or link to my blog. MapTrove (talk) 11:00, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
 * What would you like to see for an unblock? 331dot (talk) 11:10, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I’ve went ahead and unblocked. The user has been made aware of the policies on conflicts of interest and is advised that if they edit in any way contrary to WP:PAID they may be blocked without further warning. All the best, N.J.A.  &#124; talk  23:39, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
