Hello, I'm Bruce1ee. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added to Portable water purification have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links.  —Bruce1eetalk 15:22, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

 Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because your account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. Also, your username indicates that the account represents a business, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

If you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization, you may request unblock and a username change. In your reasons, you must: To do this, post the text  at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked.
 * Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement.
 * 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.
 * Provide a new username.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken and in use by another account. You can go here to search and see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns that no global account with that username exists, that means it is available to be taken.

Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks, you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text  at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page. Cabayi (talk) 15:24, 1 August 2023 (UTC)


 * @Yamla I realize that WP:COI is pertaining to getting paid for Wikipedia contributions. I do not get paid for the links I have posted. I understand that the first link about water purification contains a promotion for a product and that is against Wikipedias guidelines. This will not happen again. The second link however is purely informational and contributes to the point of the article. My future contributions will not containe any conflicts of interest by avoiding websites that contain any promotions for products or services and will be purely informational. As for contributing to natiinal parks and locations, the bulk of my information for citing will be from nps.gov. If the information is not found on that website, it will be a reputable source that is purely informational as per Wikipedia's guidelines. I would like to rectify this so I can become an active member of Wikipedia. If there is anything I need to do please let me know. Thank you. Yournpguide (talk) 18:52, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
 * No, WP:COI applies regardless of whether or not you are paid. You are free to make a new unblock request, but I'll warn you that you currently blatantly misunderstand Wikipedia's policies and guidelines and will want to clear that up before making another request. --Yamla (talk) 19:38, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
