Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page In Our Water has been reverted. Your edit here to In Our Water was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://vimeo.com/263985461) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as other parts of our external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original. If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 02:57, 8 July 2018 (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.

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 by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Drmies (talk) 03:04, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

I understand the need for and agree to the above rules. Any violation was unintentional. I have no paid relationship with Foresight Films or the documentary IN OUR WATER. My additions were made as a friend and fan of clean drinking water. My original user name was chosen years ago before there were as many rules as there are now. I will only make suggestions and edits in areas where I have specific knowledge and expertise, and will strive to maintain the line between information and promotion. Please let me know if you need additional information or clarification. Thank you for the service you perform. ThomasbrownIII (talk) 22:38, 13 July 2018 (UTC)
 * You state that you have no "paid" relationship with Foresight Films, do you have any relationship with them? 331dot (talk) 22:40, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

 * You are free to make another unblock request, which will be reviewed by another administrator. Please also understand that Wikipedia is not interested in personal knowledge or expertise, but in what independent reliable sources state, for verifiability reasons. If your knowledge or expertise helps you find independent sources, OK. It would also help to know exactly what topic areas those are(that you intend to contribute in). 331dot (talk) 08:05, 14 July 2018 (UTC)
