August 2018[edit]

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 ~~~~}}. 331dot (talk) 17:15, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You were blocked at User talk:Insight Global, LLC for both your username and promotion. The nature of the block was such that you should not have created a new username on your own. You did so anyway- which would be OK except you were also blocked for promotional editing. You will need to address this in order to be unblocked. To be unblocked:

you must confirm that this account is used by one individual only
you must agree to avoid creating or directly editing articles related to your organization
you must agree to abide by the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use and disclose any paid relationship in accordance with the paid contributor policy
you must indicate what areas of Wikipedia you intend to edit in the future

If you have no interest in editing Wikipedia beyond writing about your organization, then you will not be unblocked. If this is the case, I recommend you consider alternative outlets.

So we know understanding is mutual, please state your understanding/response to each item in your own words.

I'm sorry that this message could not be more favorable. 331dot (talk) 17:17, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I would further add that Wikipedia is not a forum to merely tell about a company, or for companies to have pages about themselves. This is an encyclopedia, where article subjects must be shown with independent reliable sources to meet the relevant notability guidelines, in this case WP:ORG. Wikipedia has no interest at all in what a company wants to say about itself. 331dot (talk) 17:19, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize. Our intent is not and was not malicious. With all the companies mentioned on Wikipedia as it currently stands, the desire was to have our company represented as well. Thanks for the prompt feedback.

Request reason:

We are just trying to establish a page for our company.

Decline reason:

Right. That's why you were blocked. Now that you know this is inappropriate, you'll need to convince us you understand why, and won't try to do so again. Yamla (talk) 17:23, 6 August 2018 (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.
