If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam); and,
avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for businesses. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 02:14, 10 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Thank you. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 02:18, 10 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

I was fine until today when I just tried to edit then I was blocked and my page deleted...please tell me what's going on? I shouldn't have been blocked, User: Dave Shelton 1

Decline reason:

See #7 under What may I not have on my userpage: "Extensive self-promotional material that is unrelated to your activities as a Wikipedian". Tell me how prose like "Dave’s writing has been compared to the likes of Ray Bradbury (an admitted fan of Dave’s work), David Lynch and Stephen King and his cartoon work to that of Charles Schulz, one of Dave’s idols." doesn't meet that standard. You made many edits to that page and no other ones, demonstrating your only intent here was to promote yourself. That's why you got blocked. — Daniel Case (talk) 03:34, 10 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

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.
