 * What is your connection to the website you were linking to? Girth Summit  (blether)  15:54, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

Minewrecker: I am one of the bloggers of the team, sir.
 * Thanks for being honest about that. You need to read COI, and potentially PAID, if you receive compensation for your work. The blog is clearly not a reliable source, and I can think of no legitimate reason why anyone would link to it from any Wikipedia article. Bearing in mind that you may not write about the blog or link to it from any article, what is it that you would edit about if you were unblocked? Thanks Girth Summit  (blether)  16:06, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

Minewrecker: I did check out the two pages you suggested sir. I shall read them in detail now. If I were to be unblocked, I'd most probably not edit as that's how I've been using wikipedia for the past 6 or so years without an account. Even if I did edit, it will be only typographical errors as I do not want to provide false information/make incorrect changes with my knowledge expertise and influence people who visit this page. I believe that good and verified editors like you and others are more than enough to keep wikipedia in perfect form.
 * Let us know when you have read them in full, and if you have any questions about their implications for you and your editing. Do note that you can still read Wikipedia while blocked - it won't have any affect on your ability to use the site, you just can't edit it. Girth Summit  (blether)  16:25, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

Minewrecker: I read and understood the two pages sir. I will not edit anything that discloses related people or anything in the same boundary. As of now, I'm very much assured that I will only edit typographical errors to help in small parts of pages. Onto the second topic, no, I do not get paid for it. My friend owns the domain and team (he started everything from scratch) and I blog when I'm free. It's a small thing I do with self interest and I don't mean to earn money in any sort or form. I do understand that I can still read and use Wikipedia but this is the first time I've ever been banned on any platform and the guilt is unbearable. Hence, my statement which I made earlier about not editing in the future and using Wikipedia to learn.
 * OK, well based on your assurance that you won't add any more links to that blog, or write about it, I'm prepared to unblock. Please do be aware, just for your information, that we blacklist spam sites that people persistently post links to, so that it is not possible to link to them from Wikipedia. If I see any other accounts adding links to that site, I will ask that it be added to the list. Cheers Girth Summit  (blether)  17:41, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

Minewrecker: Agreed and noted. I shall inform the owner of the team and site about this.

Also, I have a question. For future reference, if we want to legally promote our blog site over here, is it possible?
 * No. See WP:NOTPROMO. Girth Summit  (blether)  06:47, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

Minewrecker: Okay. Thank you for accepting my apology. I shall prove that you're not wrong in having done it.
