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 an undisclosed 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. MER-C 17:56, 8 July 2020 (UTC)

Request reason:

I confirm reading and understanding of terms and paid editing. I use SharpSpring and RFP360 as business tools. The affiliation is, I pay them for their software that helps support my business. SharpSpring is one of the top 5 marketing automation platforms and seemed like a no brainier to me with all their growth, PR, and place on the stock exchange. . It was live for a week or so, so don't punish them based on my actions because they are unaware of my efforts. Also, the old "KEVPKE" account that made edits on RFP360. I was having trouble logging in on my old account. I thought I was operating under one login, but it looks like my login did work and I was operating under both at times. I can see how that looks like sock puppetry, but it's just me with an old account I thought I could no longer access. Last but not least, I will try to write less promotional. I based my outlines off of other Fortune 100 companies as I feel that is the format Wikipedia likes. Thanks, KevinKevinpike (talk) 19:30, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Procedural decline only. This unblock request has been open for more than two weeks but has not proven sufficient for any reviewing administrator to take action. You are welcome to request a new block review if you substantially reword your request. Yamla (talk) 11:18, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

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.
