You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you use Wikipedia for promotion or advertising. VViking_TalkEdits 16:08, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because your account is being used only for advertising or promotion.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  ⇌ Jake Wartenberg 16:30, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

Hi,

I signed up for the first time as an editor on Wikipedia. I was blocked for advertising. I tried to add our company to the list of "Headlight Restoration" kit manufacturers since others are listed. Sylvania is listed which we are the private label manufacturer for. We are a legitimate manufacturer so I did not think this would be against the rules.

Even though this was the reason I signed up can you unblock my account? I will not post this again and will get more familiar with the rules before ever posting again.

Thank you

Ben Smith

I have moved your last postings to the bottom of this page. All new postings should be made at the bottom so that the discussions appear in the correct chronological order. An administrator will review your unblock request when time allows; in the meantime, please review Wikipedia's guide on conflict of interest and policy on disclosure of paid editing. Thanks. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 22:07, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again.
