  Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to WaterHealth International. 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.

Hi James, This isn't at all a promotional content that I'm updating instead I'm updating the latest information about WaterHealth on Wikipedia. Could you please share more details on it & highlight the portions you feel are the promotional content. I'm also providing reference for authenticity of the content. Not really sure what is this about.. It would be great if you could please give more insights on it as I'm new to Wiki.

Thanks, Nidhi

Do you have an association with WaterHealth International? If not, why are you so determined to ignore the advice of a respected administrator? If not, request the edits on the talk page anyway so that they can be discussed. If so, make the conflict of interest disclosure and the paid editing disclosure and then request any edits on the talk page. Robert McClenon (talk) 12:59, 5 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for using Wikipedia for promotion. You say your editing "isn't at all a promotional content", but it was very substantially an attempt to persuade readers that your company is doing a great job, and that it is a noble cause. If you honestly didn't see it as promotional, then you are so unable to see the nature of your own writing that it is unlikely you will be able to edit in the neutral way required for Wikipedia. The whole of your editing read as though it was written by a marketing or PR professional on behalf of the company. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block 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) 15:35, 6 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

I Cannot Assume Good Faith

edit

You wrote, using an IP address for block evasion sockpuppetry: "As clearly me intentions aren't misleading or fraudulent in nature is just that I'm new to wiki and want to understand the platform better and work out things on it which I plan to edit." I will concede that your intentions were not fraudulent, which is a legal term. I cannot assume good faith that you merely are new to wiki and want to understand the platform, since you disregarded the advice of an administrator and other editors to push your edits through. Your intent does appear to have been to mislead the public, who trust Wikipedia to present a neutral point of view, to think that the information that you tried to post was neutral when in fact you knew that it was promotional.

I recommend that any administrator who reviews a block request deny this block request, at least until there has been no block evasion for six months. Robert McClenon (talk) 01:57, 13 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
