October 2019; SEO reference spamming

https://spam.scorpioncoatings.com

This is your only warning; if you use Wikipedia for soapboxing, promotion or advertising again, as you did at Truck bedliner, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Praxidicae (talk) 14:35, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

We're all quite familiar with this easily detectable tactic. You've added a few good references, but several either (1) did not contain information about the text they supposedly supported or (2) were not reliable sources. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 16:30, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

O, understood AlchemistsLead (talk) 20:40, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

COI declaration

Please read WP:PAID. To avoid being blocked, I suggest you follow the instructions there. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 19:39, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

I am an avid customer of Scorpion Protective Coatings and use their products on my F150 religiously. AlchemistsLead (talk) 20:33, 16 October 2019 (UTC)Al

It took about 2 minutes of research to figure out that you're a marketing professional, and that you've posted on behalf of Scorpion (on now archived pages), but you're telling us that they are not a client of yours? OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 21:04, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

Yes, I am a marketing professional and own a marketing firm, alchemyleads -- but Scorpion Coatings isn't one of my current clients. We haven't worked together on a paid basis in several years -- I am a car/truck enthusiast and have been using their products for years and obviously know their ceo/employees to be good people. This is a passion project for me, I am not presently being paid nor expect to be paid for any of this, but I can say all of this on the COI if that's needed. Just let me know. Thanks.

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Scorpion Coatings Inc.

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Draft:Scorpion Coatings Inc., requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for advertising or promotion. From your contributions, this seems to be your only purpose.

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: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  – bradv🍁 16:02, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

I've been a wiki member for years and have made contributions completely unrelated to any of this, all in good faith. Whenever a reason was given as to why something was deleted or didn't work as a citation, I tried to remedy the situation in good faith and with open communication. This block was unnecessary even after my coi declaration -- I literally tried to re-write the article from a more neutral perspective citing g11 and removed things that couldve been seen as copyright infringement (g12). If I was a spam only account would I be doing all of this and trying to educate myself on each code type (like g11 / g12)?

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

Block was unnecessary, no damages being done, and I am working to adhere to all standards in good faith with open communication. AlchemistsLead (talk) 16:12, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

Decline reason:

The block is absolutely necessary to prevent you damaging the encyclopedia by inserting promotional content. If you are indeed working towards meeting Wikipedia's standards, the deleted text at Draft:Scorpion Coatings Inc. shows that you have a very long way to go...
