Tips 
 * Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
 * It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
 * If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
 * When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
 * If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
 * Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers,  Comr Melody Idoghor  (talk)  08:07, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I'm CorbieVreccan. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Land Back have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. ''If any of the content you want to add is not commercial or promotional, it still needs to cited and formatted properly. See WP:RS and WP:CITE for how to do this.'' - CorbieVreccan  ☊ ☼ 21:39, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did at Land Back, you may be blocked from editing. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. ''The Land Back article is about the movement. It is a name and hashtag used by anyone involved in the social and political effort. You, or someone you are promoting, appears to be using the name for commercial purposes and now spamming for commercial purposes. Stop adding these links or you will be blocked.'' - CorbieVreccan  ☊ ☼ 21:16, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

 * We filed a TM infringement for LANDBACK wiki. awaiting the resolve for dispute. alot of this information is not updated LANDBACK org and Movement is owned by someone. thanks for the help. Smudgeoff (talk) 22:46, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
 * What was your date of incorporation? It's my understanding that the Landback movement has been going on for a while now. Trying to trademark these things doesn't usually go very well. Not unless you can show many years of substantial, common usage that precedes the Indigenous movement on social media and other platforms. It's now been used in mainstream media, as well. - CorbieVreccan  ☊ ☼ 23:15, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
 * LANDBACK was started as a #Hashtag from a pipeline protest. the word was used freely to some extent but isn't owned by anyone or any movements until The Arkeketa Project filed for TM in the US & Canada Territories. The Arkeketa Project - ip attorneys in united states and canada handling the filing and are listed on the USPTO and CANADA trade mark offices. LandBack inc and LandBack LLC were incorporated this year in florida, The Arkeketa Project was incorporated in 2020 during the Covid Pandemic in New Jersey and has since relocated to South Florida. its all listed in filings on the government websites. all of the filings also include website, entertainment, and media along with the clothing marks. sunbiz has state LANDBACK filings for florida as non-profit and LLC all at same address.

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Smudgeoff. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the pages Land Back, Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes, Otoe, Otoe–Missouria Tribe of Indians, and Benjamin Levi West, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. This is why editors are reverting you. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. - CorbieVreccan  ☊ ☼ 21:17, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

Looking over your edits, I can't seem to find any that are not spam/promotional. - CorbieVreccan  ☊ ☼ 21:32, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

September 2022
 You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for advertising or self-promoting in violation of the conflict of interest and notability guidelines. You were warned, and yet you ignored these warnings and continued to do promotional edits after being informed that you were violating Wikipedia policies (see deleted contribs for recreation of COI article rejected at AfC). Every edit you made was promotional. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:. - CorbieVreccan  ☊ ☼ 21:09, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
