You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you insert a spam link, as you did at Shark. 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.--Mr Fink (talk) 15:12, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

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:.

Hello, I write fish books to protect fish and fisheries, and I am the foremost authority on gar fish, but I have been blocked from listing my scholarship on Wikipedia which contains valuable information for people all over the world, particularly in fishery management. I have been accused of spamming, but these books are published my nonprofit publishers and I do not make any notable royalties. Seems to me that the world should know what research is out there for fishery management and conservation, but Wikipedia is censoring extremely useful information. Can you please let me know how I can honestly post information regarding scholarly work without getting blocked? Thank you, Mark Spitzer
