 * How is adding relevant published work a cause for blocking? Shocking decision. Punkspider1 (talk) 13:53, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
 * You are not here to help write an encyclopedia. Your every edit has clearly been motivated by creating exposure for this book and its author. Sergecross73   msg me  14:00, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes it also gave exposure to the publication and its author, but it also helps the reader to navigate towards relevant further information if they so wish. On certain Wikipedia articles there is a lack of information regarding places to find reliable published work around the topic. Punkspider1 (talk) 14:02, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Also I would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused and hope the block could be removed. I'll restrain from adding "further reading" sections to articles in the future. Punkspider1 (talk) 14:28, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
 * The problem is that you're only adding one particular work. You gave yourself away when you spammed it on the heavy metal article. Killing Joke isn't even mentioned once in that article, but you thought it made sense to create a "further reading" section specifically for it and it alone? Come on. You need to find a new venue to promote this book/author. Wikipedia isn't a promotional tool.  Sergecross73   msg me  15:28, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
 * You're absolutely right regarding that article. Adding the reference to that article wasn't all that relevant. I hadn't read it through properly and just assumed the band would be discussed there as well. Don't understand how the reference got removed from "post-punk" genre article as the band has been recognised as one of the originators of the genre. Punkspider1 (talk) 20:19, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
 * It was removed for violating WP:SPAM. It doesn't particularly belong anywhere except for maybe the Killing Joke article. Anyways, you're free to request a second opinion through an WP:UNBLOCK request, but you're going to need a pretty creative explanation as to how this wasn't textbook spamming on Wikipedia.

Do you have a WP:RS unconnected to the book you've been peddling? -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 07:54, 27 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Not connected to the book. Punkspider1 (talk) 13:33, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
 * This is still not enough to consider unblocking. Please describe what other constructive edits you would make. Thanks -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 01:40, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Well that would be the first edit. No point of considering other edits if my account is blocked. Punkspider1 (talk) 06:18, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
 * No point in unblocking for one edit. &#45;- Deepfriedokra (talk) 00:33, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
 * There are actually two pages ("Total Chaos" and "Nasty Suicide") that I'm waiting to edit at the moment. Punkspider1 (talk) 05:23, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Unenthusiastic question-- OK to unblock? &#45;- Deepfriedokra (talk) 18:38, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I'd support it if he commits to stop adding that book link to articles. If you read his comments closely, he technically has not actually done that yet. Sergecross73   msg me  19:24, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I can commit to not adding new links to the book in question. The mentioned planned updates are in no way related to Killing Joke. Punkspider1 (talk) 13:57, 29 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Thanks. Punkspider1 (talk) 05:34, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
