This kind of activity is considered spamming and is forbidden by Wikipedia policies. In addition, the use of a username like yours violates our username policy.
You may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below or emailing the administrator who blocked you.
Your reason should include your response to this issue and a new username you wish to adopt that does not violate our username policy (specifically, understand that accounts are for individuals, not companies or groups, and that your username should reflect this). Usernames that have already been taken are listed here.Please do not add advertising or inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that exist to attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policies for further explanations of links that are considered appropriate. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.
From your screen name, it's obvious you have some preference or even some possible involvement with the magazine. I would recommend against adding external reviews solely from one source - Wikipedia shouldn't be used as a way of generating hits for a website. If a website or magazine is notable, then it would naturally been added to articles by many random editors; not simply from one source. --Madchester (talk) 13:03, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Request reason:
The External Links Guide states in the section "What should be linked" that "4. Sites with other meaningful, relevant content that is not suitable for inclusion in an article, such as reviews and interviews.". All of my links were to reviews and therefore justified.
Decline reason:
Since you have an obvious conflict of interest, your account can be seen as a single-purpose account. The unblock is declined because there are other valid reasons to maintain the block. — - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 14:57, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
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.

Request reason:
Fair point. Could be seen as a single purpose account, but I only registered a week ago and you've blocked me indefinitely ? You're hardly giving me a chance are you ?
Decline reason:
I think we've given you enough of a chance to spam links to your magazine. Nothing you've said gives me any indication you would stop. (And also, your username is inappropriate. If you want to edit here you will have to have an account for yourself, not on behalf of your company.) Mangojuicetalk 15:11, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

This is the only warning you will receive for your disruptive edits.
The next time you insert a spam link, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Spammers may have their websites blacklisted as well, preventing their websites from appearing on Wikipedia. --Dirk Beetstra T C 14:03, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
