Requested username:

Request reason:

Hello! I'm really sorry about advertising I didn't know, I thought adding a example wasn't advertising, anyhow! I'm really sorry Wikipedia! Thanks, Craig Hay

Decline reason:

If your assessment of adding a promotional link and that now deleted spammy article were that they were valid and neutral 'examples', then I'm concerned about your judgement and understanding of this project. At any rate, I've left some questions below that may help you formulate a unblock request which can assure us that the behavior will not be repeated. Kuru (talk) 15:01, 2 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Here are a few key questions:

Do you understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a business directory?
Do you understand conflict of interest?
Do you understand that to be considered for an encyclopedia article, the subject must be notable?

You are currently blocked because your username appears directly related to a company, group or product that you have been promoting, contrary to the username policy. Changing the username will not allow you to violate the 3 important principles above.Kuru (talk) 15:01, 2 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
