Your account has been blocked indefinitely for advertising or promotion and violating the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use. This is because you have been making promotional edits to topics in which you have an undisclosed financial stake, yet you have failed to adhere to the mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a form of conflict of interest (COI) editing which involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is strictly prohibited. Using this site for advertising or promotion is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, please read our guide to appealing blocks to understand more about unblock requests, and then add the text at the end of your user talk page. For that request to be considered, you must:
 * Confirm that you have read and understand the Terms of Use and paid editing disclosure requirements.
 * State clearly how you are being compensated for your edits, and describe any affiliation or conflict of interest you might have with the subjects you have written about.
 * Describe how you intend to edit such topics in the future. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 17:07, 1 June 2020 (UTC)

Interns, on-loan staff, and unpaid workers, including volunteers, are deemed to be employees. Your appeal reason proves that you currently need to remain blocked to prevent further disruption caused by your conflict of interest. Please stop using Wikipedia for promotion, and find different websites that accept your spam. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 17:19, 1 June 2020 (UTC)

&#91;Second unblock created at 17:16, 1 June 2020 (UTC), removed after the first one was declined&#93;

Note to the reviewing administrator: Sockpuppet investigations/Sherrena might be interesting. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 18:33, 1 June 2020 (UTC)

&#91;First unblock request declined by Deepfriedokra, 19:23, 1 June 2020 (UTC)&#93;

I understand, thank you. If I am able in the future, I would make suggestions regarding the awards and recognitions that the company is presented with, with citations and links to the websites that sponsor these award programs. Any promotional language or connotation was unintentional, and I apologize for any wording or citations that were promotional in nature. The suggestions will demonstrate works and campaigns produced by the company that people can refer to in their research. I now understand why I cannot make edits directly to the page and apologize for not researching the rules. Thank you for your time! Miadevans11 (talk) 19:40, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
 * , you seem to have coordinated edit warring with at least one colleague (see WP:MEAT). The addition has already been proposed, through direct editing, and it has been rejected multiple times. Gaining consensus for the inclusion of already-rejected promotional content in accordance with WP:ONUS seems to be impossible. Please consider the proposal to have failed before having been made. If I understand correctly, your primary or only interest when editing Wikipedia is to continue pushing the same rejected promotion into the article. Whether by direct editing or talk page proposals, this would be disruptive (failure or refusal to "get the point"). I am afraid that you are interpreting the paid editing policy and the conflict of interest guideline as a kind of "instructions for policy-abidant promotion", while the actual point of the guideline is to prevent promotion altogether, as Wikipedia is not for promotion. The encyclopedia must not be used as a highly visible marketing alternative to the company's website.
 * If you are ever interested in contributing to the encyclopedia as a volunteer, about topics you have no conflict of interest about, you're always welcome to create a new appeal with specific examples for such edits, and in my opinion, ideally a promise not to edit about your conflicts of interest again – not in articles, and not by making talk page requests either. There is no deadline for making an appeal; you can do so even months or years later, if your intention behind editing Wikipedia ever changes.
 * As I am the blocking administrator and unblock requests are meant for independent review, this assessment does not prevent you from creating a new appeal that ignores my concerns. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 18:08, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
