This is your only warning; if you insert a spam link to Wikipedia again, as you did at Options spread, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted, preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites as well as potentially being penalized by search engines.

There have been two problems with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group or a web site, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing. Additionally, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In that reason, you must:

Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block. To do so, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page, replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason for thinking that the block was an error, and publish the page.

Requested username:

Your proposed new username (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

My apologies I thought I could replace broken links with relevant content that I have on my website. Everything I included was just intended to replace a broken link that went to no where with material that was specific to the topic. I dd not realize that was not allowed. I thought I was improving the community by replacing broken links.

Decline reason:

You forgot to pick a new username and you forgot to tell us what you'll edit instead. Yamla (talk) 19:33, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Could you change my username to kamell25 My apologies I thought I could replace broken links with relevant content that I have on my website. Everything I included was just intended to replace a broken link that went to nowhere with material that was specific to the topic. I dd not realize that was not allowed. I thought I was improving the community by replacing broken links. I would like to continue to replace broken links related to options trading and options strategy. Is there a place where I can read what is allowed. I thought to replace broken links with relevant content would be a positive thing. Thank you

Decline reason:

"I was just replacing broken links with links to my wwebsite" is a very old trick of linkspammers to drive traffic to the target website. You will not be unblocked to continue doing that. See WP:COI and, more generally, WP:Policies and guidelines. Huon (talk) 20:27, 6 October 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.
