Request reason:

I wasn't engaged in spamming when I edited the citations. I was simply citing a useful source of business insurance knowledge that I had found. There isn't a significant resource for detailed business insurance information (as compared to other industries like finance, or personal insurance). If you would like me to diversify the sources of citations, I will. I signed up with Wikipedia to contribute to the encyclopedia, not to further some ulterior motive. I hope you understand and will allow me to contribute. Thank you.DLwiki4567 (talk) 21:26, 7 March 2020 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Funny how that "useful source" belongs not to a newspaper, magazine or peer-reviewed scholarly journal but to an insurance broker. And yes, there are plenty of trade journals that cover the insurance sector. We're well aware of this method of driving traffic to a commercial website. Huon (talk) 21:36, 7 March 2020 (UTC)
