Welcome! edit

Hello, Travelerinmaking, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions, such as your edit to the page Guwahati, seem to be advertising or for promotional purposes. Wikipedia does not allow advertising. For more information on this, please see:

If you still have questions, there is a new contributors' help page, or you can click here to ask a question on your talk page. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia:

I hope you enjoy editing Wikipedia! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. Feel free to write a note on the bottom of my talk page if you want to get in touch with me. Again, welcome! - Arjayay (talk) 12:17, 14 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 12:22, 14 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

January 2019 edit

 
You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for adding spam links. Persistent spammers will have their websites blacklisted from Wikipedia and potentially penalized by search engines.
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 ~~~~}}.  — JJMC89(T·C) 07:13, 17 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

I was just adding links of my city's local media to pages i thought were relevant. I am sorry if I did something that was considered as a spam

Decline reason:

Now that you know that will not be permitted, please tell what it is you intend to edit about if unblocked. You may want to read WP:SPAM, WP:EXTLINK, and WP:CITE. If you are connected to that media outlet in any way, you will need to disclose that and review WP:COI and WP:PAID. I am declining your request at this time. 331dot (talk) 08:45, 17 January 2019 (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:

Sadly, I'm not related to the media outlet, I wish I was. I'm just a student. I was adding the links because i thought people should know about the events in the city from a local media centre and their's was the best I found. Now, that i know this could be flagged as spamming, i won't go on adding links. I'll edit when and where i feel i can contribute complying to the rules and will refrain from adding too many links.

Decline reason:

Procedural decline only. This unblock request has been open for more than two weeks but has not proven sufficiently convincing for any reviewing administrator to take action. You are welcome to request a new block review if you substantially reword your request. Yamla (talk) 12:24, 6 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
