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 ~~~~}}.  -- Dlohcierekim (talk) 21:56, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

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:

I am a thought leader in advocacy and stakeholder involvement and I recently published a book that covers the topic of influencing decision maker discourse. It is the first book that covers solely this topic in detail, providing strategies and the tactics needed to implement them. I am not iinterested in selling copies of the book, just making the content available to those who are interested. In fact, in one of the edits, I provided a page where readers can get a free download of the book if they don't want to buy it. In addition, I linked to articles that offer new approaches for those seeking to influence decision makers.

Decline reason:

I am declining your unblock request because it does not address the reason for your block, or because it is inadequate for other reasons. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that

• the block is not necessary to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia, or
• the block is no longer necessary because you
  1. understand what you have been blocked for,
  2. will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
  3. will make useful contributions instead.

Please read the guide to appealing blocks for more information. [stwalkerster|talk] 22:24, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

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.

We call that spamming. Hell, the content of your unblock request is promotional.-- Dlohcierekim (talk) 22:23, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
