Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about beliefs, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. Mean as custard (talk) 20:29, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

Please do not use Wikipedia to promote businesses, like you did in the article Red Ventures. Wikipedia is not a trade directory. If you want to list a company for potential customers to find, please consider alternative outlets. Thank you. BigDwiki (talk) 19:23, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

This is your only warning; if you use Wikipedia for soapboxing, promotion or advertising again, as you did at Red Ventures, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. BigDwiki (talk) 19:23, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BigDwiki. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Red Ventures seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

- would you objrect to an unblock? PhilKnight (talk) 10:30, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
 * PhilKnight - If you believe that this user will improve the encyclopedia, go for it. Remember that WP:ROPE exists, too. It's not hard to re-block a user if they continue the behavior. :-)  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   02:01, 4 September 2020 (UTC)

Hi,, This unblock request has been open for several weeks; are we going to take action on this? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  14:12, 7 September 2020 (UTC)


 * I'll unblock. PhilKnight (talk) 14:52, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you, Ritchie333 for facilitating this request and for making sure that someone responded to it. I also want to thank PhilKnight; that was the right thing to do in this situation. Assuming good faith and giving them some rope is the default action to take if you're feeling "ehhhh" or "meh" with an unblock request like this. ;-) Cheers -  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   20:22, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

Thank you very much. Based on the above, would it be appropriate to request that the sockpuppet note also be removed from my user page? I am guessing my IP address displayed the same as other employees if we were on a shared network through work, but user accounts were not shared and actions were not coordinated.Mcmurtrk (talk) 13:19, 8 September 2020 (UTC)


 * Yes, I've removed the sockpuppet notice from your user page. PhilKnight (talk) 14:07, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

Please help me with... Hello, I began the Articles for creation process to request a new article about Draft: Red Ventures, but want to be sure I'm doing this correctly.
