This is your only warning; if you insert a spam link to Wikipedia again, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted, preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites as well as potentially being penalized by search engines.

Hello Prax, I spent 3 hours looking for that information and finally found it. This is pertinent information that should be included. Why is it spam?
 * Please see our policy at WP:CITESPAM and WP:EXTERNALLINKS. We generally do not allow adding citations or links to purely commercial/advertisement websites if the content can be found from a more reliable, WP:NPOV and academic source. Sasquatch t&#0124;c 20:16, 21 June 2019 (UTC)

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 or a web site, 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. Additionally, If you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

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 that 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. To do so, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the text at the bottom of your talk page, replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason for thinking that the block was an error, and publish the page.

 * As a further note, I have found that your website "easywebsiteonline.com" claims to have made the page for Gale Law Group. This is unacceptable WP:COI/WP:PAID editing. Sasquatch t&#0124;c 20:19, 21 June 2019 (UTC)

Hello Yamla, I made 1 edit and used undo 1 time when no reason was given for the revert. I don't believe 'repeatedly forced links' is an accurate representation. I asked for clarification and none was given and then I was banned. I spent 3 hours trying to find a place I could make a legit contribution and thought that I did that. I made that username many years ago and don't really want to represent that anymore, the rules have changed significantly since then. I made some legit edits that stayed up for years back then. Easywebsiteonline.com is not my workplace, I'm just a freelance developer. I will not cite any blog I have control over again as I agree it violates the conflict of interest, it seems like there are 100 pages to read and understand now before posting. I thought the information I provided was unbiased, useful, and verifiable and would be accepted as an improvement. I hope you can understand my position and confusion of the matter. Please reconsider. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Easywebsiteonline (talk • contribs)
 * Edit 1, edit 2, edit 3, edit 4. It's also not hard to find evidence that easywebsiteonline is your site. It is clear you are now actively trying to mislead us. Given that, I will strongly oppose any attempt to lift your block. We need to be able to trust our editors, and it's clear we cannot trust any statement you make. --Yamla (talk) 23:37, 21 June 2019 (UTC)

I'm not trying to hide, easywebsiteonline is my website and username, I clearly say that I have control over their blog. I am not a company though, just 1 person and no one pays me to edit wikipedia. I have not made edits in maybe 8 years and things were not nearly as strict as they are now. I believe there was another section back then called external resources and I posted a website in there and it was accepted. I thought finding a way to contribute like that was OK, after reading the link you posted, I was wrong, as I do have a relationship with them. I should have more thoroughly read that all that stuff, but there is page after page of it. I will be transparent with Wikipedia, please forgive my mistake.


 * I have a problem with everything you have claimed so far. You claimed it took you "3 hours" to find the information that you wanted to cite in the article despite being the very person who controls the website you cited from. You did not disclose that you worked on the blog until after you were blocked from editing. If you truly wish to contribute to Wikipedia, I would start with an unblock requests that clearly states that you understand that what you did was a clear WP:COI violation, that you will not edit areas related to websites you work on and that you will never insert links from websites you have worked on or are affiliated without without asking for another user to do it per WP:COIRESPONSE. I think if you show that kind of understanding, another admin may be more sympathetic to your request. Sasquatch t&#0124;c 00:23, 22 June 2019 (UTC)

I spent 3 hours reading Wikipedia, trying to find a legit place to make a contribution, sorry I wasn't clear at first. I was frustrated to get rejected without explanation from the initial person that reverted it and wanted to ask them why. I still think the actual content I put was a positive contribution, what do you think? I read to not put in requests over and over, so I'll have to convince Yalma somehow :/ Thank you for the coiresponse link, I will explore this avenue. Also, I understand that what I did was a clear WP:COI violation, and I will not edit areas related to websites I work on and I will never insert links from websites I have worked on or are affiliated with, without asking for another user to do it per WP:COIRESPONSE
 * I think we're getting somewhere now. I would put in another unblock/username change request with the key points that you just said. I would consent to an admin with user rename rights to change your username and allow you to continue editing. Sasquatch t&#0124;c 11:08, 22 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Globally renamed 'Easywebsiteonline' to 'Tearible'. Another admin will review your unblock request. Just Chilling (talk) 16:12, 29 June 2019 (UTC)

Thank you Just Chilling.
