User talk:Mexicointernetexchange

October 2016
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, 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.

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 this 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 by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Widr (talk) 07:22, 27 October 2016 (UTC)


 * I have a few questions.
 * Are you, or have you been editing on behalf of a corporation? Your edits and username give off the strong, strong impression that you are someone who works for or was otherwise hired (or asked to edit) by the company Mexico Internet Exchange. You must disclose any WP:COI and to be honest, I think it's very unlikely that you aren't someone they hired to edit Wikipedia.
 * If unblocked, what type of material will you be editing? Will you try to write about Mexico Internet Exchange? I think that one of the requirements for your unblock should be that you cannot edit about this company, partially because of the likely conflict of interest but also because I don't see where this company would pass notability guidelines per WP:NCORP, as there doesn't seem to be any coverage for this company. The company has won industry awards, but the majority of these are not seen as notable per Wikipedia's guidelines.
 * I would also recommend that you take one of the training programs at either WP:ADVENTURE or WP:TRAINING. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  08:14, 1 November 2016 (UTC)

I have a few questions. Q. Are you, or have you been editing on behalf of a corporation?

No, I am the owner of MIE, however I only edited it because I did not know the rules here. It will never happen again.

No, I was not hired to edit anything, I am simply the owner of it and thought it would be nice to have a page but did not know those rules until I did it.

You have my word that this will never occur again. I do not need to add nor edit our company name here.

Q. If unblocked, what type of material will you be editing?

I am very knowledgable of the History of the Internet and Technology and would contribute to those categories. I may also edit music related items as I have been in the music industry for many years as well and know many interesting facts.

That is fine, I have no need to edit it and I will not. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.159.172.6 (talk) 20:03, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
