For some reason I have been blocked without being told. All my minor edits do not advertise my blog Transblawg, but I will change my username to Zirbelholz Transblawg (talk) 22:45, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

I was reading about partridges and surprised that there were so many additions of "pear tree" in that article! But i am not allowed to edit it. Transblawg (talk) 22:46, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

I have been wondering why I am said to have self-promoted. A few years ago my blog was quoted on the subject of how to translate the German "Impressum" on websites. I suggested "legal notice" or something like that. Recently, someone quoted the Wikipedia article again and I saw that my blog reference was outdated, so I updated the link from transblawg.eu to transblawg.co.uk - i am not allowed to use .eu since Brexit, I was in Germany but am now in the UK. I do not think that updating someone else's link to my blog if self-promotion. I see that to use my blog name as a username is not permitted, but i have never known that. All the few edits I have made over the years have been about spelling or translation. They make the articles easier to read. Is this not acceptable? Transblawg (talk) 22:59, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

CoI
"as well as any other topics you might edit about." I do not think there would be a conflict of interest if I correct some spelling or language. Transblawg (talk) 14:01, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

What I plan to edit
What I plan to edit instead? I don't understand. Instead of what? The complaint related to me updating an outdated link that someone else put in a few years ago. I will not do that again. i will not update any weblinks. I will continue to correct wrong spellings and language errors if I see them when I am reading Wikipedia. Latest example is on the topic Partridge: "A partridge is a medium-sized galliform bird in any of several genera, with a wide native distribution throughout **pear trees**." In this case I would put a note on the Talk page of Partridge. There is a Christmas carol about "a partridge in a pear tree" - someone has put "pear trees" into the article as a joke.
