Your account has been blocked indefinitely for advertising or promotion and violating the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use. This is because you have been making promotional edits to topics in which you have a financial stake, yet you have failed to adhere to the mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a form of conflict of interest (COI) editing which involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is strictly prohibited. Using this site for advertising or promotion is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia.
If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, please read our guide to appealing blocks to understand more about unblock requests, and then add the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the end of your user talk page. For that request to be considered, you must:
- Confirm that you have read and understand the Terms of Use and paid editing disclosure requirements.
- State clearly how you are being compensated for your edits, and describe any affiliation or conflict of interest you might have with the subjects you have written about.
- Describe how you intend to edit such topics in the future.
- Dear Wikimedia Foundation,
- I am writing to address the recent block on my account and to clarify the nature of my edits. I understand the block was due to concerns about undisclosed paid advocacy. I appreciate the opportunity to explain my actions and seek resolution.
- As a Digital Marketing Manager at King Koil India, my intention was solely to correct inaccuracies and fill in missing information on Wikipedia, not to engage in promotion or advertising. I understand the importance of adhering to Wikipedia’s guidelines and am committed to ensuring that all my contributions align with its standards.
- Addressing the Concerns:
- Understanding of Terms of Use and Disclosure Requirements: I have reviewed Wikipedia’s Terms of Use and paid editing disclosure requirements. I understand the importance of transparency and acknowledge that I should have disclosed my affiliation when making edits related to my employer.
- Compensation and Affiliation: Although I am employed by King Koil India, my edits were focused on correcting factual inaccuracies and providing missing information, rather than promoting our products or services. For example, the page at [insert URL] contained several inaccuracies and omissions that needed to be addressed to present a more accurate representation.
- Specific Page Issues: The page at [insert URL] had incorrect and outdated information that did not accurately reflect the current status and details about our company. I aimed to correct these errors to ensure the page was up-to-date and factually correct. I now understand that even such corrections must be accompanied by proper disclosure.
- Future Editing Approach: Moving forward, I will ensure that any edits related to King Koil India are properly disclosed in accordance with Wikipedia’s guidelines. I will focus on providing verifiable, neutral, and well-sourced information and will be careful to avoid any appearance of promotional content.
- I respectfully request a review of my account block considering this explanation. I am dedicated to following Wikipedia’s standards and ensuring that all future contributions are in compliance with its guidelines.
- Thank you for your time and consideration.
- Sincerely,
- Somen Halder
- Digital Marketing Manager

- Somen,
- As the admin that blocked you I will not be the admin considering your appeal.
- You are dealing with volunteers, not with the Wikimedia Foundation.
- You need to follow the instructions in the block notice above in order to successfully file an appeal. An AI generated appeal full of [insert URL] reeks of insincerity on your part. Cabayi (talk) 10:55, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
You are suspected of sockpuppetry, which means that someone suspects you of using multiple Wikipedia accounts for prohibited purposes. Please make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, then, if you wish to do so, respond to the evidence at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Hellokingkoil. Thank you.
