Welcome!

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

Please do not use Wikipedia to promote businesses, like you did in the article MedMen. Wikipedia is not a trade directory. If you want to list a company for potential customers to find, please consider alternative outlets. Thank you. Please also refrain from introducing copyright violations, in this case from investors.medmen.com. Thank you! — MusikAnimal ^talk 20:57, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm L293D. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —specifically this edit to MedMen—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help desk. Thanks. L293D (☎ • ✎) 19:03, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your addition to MedMen has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information. -- LuK3 (Talk) 19:24, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

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 ~~~~}}. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 20:27, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You may not use promotional material on Wikipedia, even if you have copyright clearance to do so. Generally speaking, any material from an organization's own site will be promotional. Also, if you were editing as a duty of employment, you were violating our requirements for paid editing disclosure. If you intend to keep adding promotional material to MedMen, you won't be unblocked to do so. Do you intend to do anything different? Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 21:30, 25 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

hi there, I would like to please be unblocked, as I did not fully understand the promotional and advertising guidelines. Also, as a member of the organization whose page i am trying to update, I have a right to use copyrighted material. if there is a way to cite this material, I am happy to do so. if not, i am happy to revise the wording. Thank you for your consideration. Jlabagh (talk) 21:25, 25 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

It is not enough to merely state that you are authorized to use copyrighted material, the materials must be properly donated to Wikipedia(your organization will want to understand what doing so means). Please review conflict of interest and paid editing. You won't be unblocked to directly edit about your organization. If you are interested in being a general contributor, there are indirect ways of doing so once you demonstrate understanding of Wikipedia guidelines by building up an edit history of edits to other subjects unrelated to your COI. If you wish to do that, please tell what other subjects you will edit about. If you are only here to tell about your business, this is the end of the road for your Wikipedia career. I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 23:08, 25 February 2020 (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.
