Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page La Sentinelle (Mauritius) has been reverted.
Your edit here to La Sentinelle (Mauritius) was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://www.facebook.com/lexpress.mu) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 12:12, 24 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, LSLediting. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

  • avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
  • instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
  • exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. 2601:188:1:AEA0:65B8:F59A:5E97:E329 (talk) 13:36, 24 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm 2601:188:1:AEA0:65B8:F59A:5E97:E329. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. 2601:188:1:AEA0:65B8:F59A:5E97:E329 (talk) 13:36, 24 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. 2601:188:1:AEA0:65B8:F59A:5E97:E329 (talk) 13:51, 24 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add soapboxing, promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. 2601:188:1:AEA0:65B8:F59A:5E97:E329 (talk) 13:54, 24 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia. 2601:188:1:AEA0:65B8:F59A:5E97:E329 (talk) 13:54, 24 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

 
You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for editing only for the purpose of using Wikipedia for promotion, continuing despite all the messages above, which made it perfectly clear to you that doing so was unacceptable. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may request an unblock by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 14:34, 24 October 2016 (UTC)Reply
 
This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

Many apologies for not complying to Wikipedia policy once again. This is the first time I'm editing a page on Wiki and thought I'd do my best to avoid erroneous information. I would be grateful if you could reconsider your decision and reactivate my account. Kind regards, Catherine

Decline reason:

You were blocked because of WP:Promotion, not becaouse of erroneous information. You have to address that issue in the unblock request. See WP:GAPB and try again. Vanjagenije (talk) 13:08, 1 November 2016 (UTC)Reply


If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. 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.

I would suggest that a change of username might be in order, as the current name appears to represent a 'position' at La Sentinelle Ltd, and this is not allowed under WP:USERNAME. Coupled with this, I would strongly recommend reading WP:PCD (our policy on editing for pay) as disclosure of such editing MUST be made (but not by using a company name as username...).
