Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that will automatically produce your username and the date. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! HiLo48 (talk) 04:16, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
Conflict of interest - heads up
editJust wanted to draw your attention to Wikipedia's guideline on editing in an area where you my be personally involved - WP:COI. I know you didn't create the original article you wrote about, and this is simply a guideline, not a set of strictures. Just felt it would be good for you to know about.

editIf you intend to make useful contributions other than promoting your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}}
at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In that reason, you must:
- Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
- Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.
{{unblock|Your reason here}}
at the bottom of your talk page, replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason for thinking that the block was an error, and publish the page. Orange Mike | Talk 18:38, 8 April 2020 (UTC)Blocked User
editThank you for your advice. I do apologise, as I was not intending to break any rules.|Please delete my user account, as I don't think we can help each other, at this time. Thank you, David Jacobson --JacobsonFlare (talk) 07:08, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
