User talk:TangoMaps

January 2018[edit]

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.

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 by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. NeilN ^{talk to me} 17:44, 20 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Requested username:

MarTa180217 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

1) To be honest with you, the first username that came up to my mind was TangoMaps. I do understand now that this was not a good choice. 2) Regarding the external links on the wikisite about "Tango": there is another website "TangoMango" that is a similar community for tango dancers but just in the USA, whereas Tango Maps is also a list of tango events worldwide. How come tango-maps.com cannot be an external link but tangomango is an external link? Thanks for clarifying this point!

Decline reason:

Pretty clear you still need to read WP:COI, WP:PAID, WP:PROMO, WP:EL, and WP:SPAM. Yamla (talk) 20:57, 20 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

When you are unblocked, you can remove other links you think are spam or don't meet our external links guideline. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 18:07, 20 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
