August 2017 edit

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you insert a spam link. 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.

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 why you should be unblocked, you may request an unblock by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  GoldenRing (talk) 08:36, 17 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

I tried to add link to relevant content that I found in that pages, the content I added improved the answer by adding useful visuals that were missed in the other links

Decline reason:

You were spamming links to the same blog across multiple articles, and you did not stop despite multiple warnings. What is your personal connection to the site? Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 12:24, 23 October 2017 (UTC)Reply


If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Request reason:

that is right, i did not see the warnings till it was too late, it is my site and we are trying to create the best content we can to educate traders

Decline reason:

You may not link to your site from Wikipedia. As long as we believe this is your intention (which I certainly still do, based on your appeal), you will not be unblocked. Yunshui  13:21, 23 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

  • Well, you can't use Wikipedia to promote it, and you will not be unblocked unless you agree to stop linking to it and you explain what else you will do instead if unblocked. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 12:56, 23 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

I am not trying to pass the lines and it is not clear what ok and what no...I saw many companies profile in Wikipedia, and links to commercials websites too? how would you explain this?

See WP:NOTPROMO and WP:LINKSPAM - you are not allowed to use Wikipedia to promote your own site. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 13:29, 23 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

is this a promo? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saxo_Bank can we create https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BetterTrader?

As there is no evidence that Saxo Bank was written by representatives of Saxo Bank, and as the style of writing does not appear to be promotional, it's acceptable. As for BetterTrader, no, you could not create it yourself as that would be a violation of the terms and conditions you agreed to when you created your account and of English Wikipedia policy. Please see Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure. You would also be expected to not write about the company directly but instead use the Articles for Creation process described at WP:AFC. But even then, for an article to be accepted, the company would need to satisfy Wikipedia's minimum notability requirements described at WP:NCORP and be supported by multiple independent reliable sources as described at WP:RS. If writing about your company is the only thing you want to do, I suggest you provide us with the sources you would need to support it here in advance, otherwise unblocking you would most likely only cause you to waste your time. Finally, you keep saying "we", but Wikipedia does not allow joint user accounts here. In addition to the other requirements already mentioned, you would need to convince us that only one person has access to and would use this account.

OK - understood. I will not pass the rules - would be happy if you can open my account

You need to make a new unblock request using the same template as the previous one, and in that request make it clear what you intend to do if unblocked. State clearly whether you do or do not intend to write about BetterTrader. (If you do, provide the evidence that it satisfies WP:NCORP). Do you intend to continue linking to BetterTrader blog pages? (The answer we require is "No".) How many people have access to and will use this account? Be explicit. (The required answer is "One".) Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 14:44, 23 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
