Welcome!

Hello, SkyBlueMgt, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for helping us build a great free encyclopedia. We have five basic principles, but other than that, we advise that you be bold and edit. If you ever have any questions or need help, feel free to leave a message at the help desk, and other Wikipedia editors will be happy to assist you.

Thanks again and congratulations on becoming a Wikipedian!

P.S. New discussion threads for you will appear at the bottom of this page.

Robin Bethancourth

Hello, SkyBlueMgt, and thank you for your contributions!

I wanted to let you know it seems an article you worked on, Robin Bethancourth, is copied from another Wikipedia page, Robin Osvaldo Betancourth Cue. It's fine to do this as long as you provide the following information in the edit summary:

a link to the article you copied from
the date you copied it

You can do this now by editing the page, making any minor edit to the article, and adding the above information into the edit summary.

If you're still not sure how to fix the problem, please leave a message at the help desk. It's possible that I made a mistake, so feel free to remove the tag I placed on the article.

August 2013

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended for publicity and/or promotional purposes. If you intend to edit constructively in other topic areas, you may be granted the right to continue under a change of username. Please read the following carefully.

Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, website or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but such groups are generally discouraged from using Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.

Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?

Probably not, although if you can demonstrate a pattern of future editing in strict accordance with our neutral point of view policy, you may be granted this right. See Wikipedia's FAQ for Organizations for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, organization, or clients. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again.

What can I do now?

If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you may consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.

If you do intend to make useful contributions here about some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:

Add the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} on your user talk page.
Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers 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 this reason, you must:
- Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the edits for which you were blocked.
- Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Dloh cierekim 04:00, 28 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Hello. I was blocked because it was deemed that I was posting for promotion. However, I was merely creating pages for obscure professional soccer players that are competing in the CONCACAF champions' league. Today, the San Jose Earthquakes of MLS (the U.S. soccer league) will be playing Heredia of Guatemala yet none of the players of Heredia have a wiki page. I was merely trying to contribute to the regional soccer community who is very interested in the background of the up and coming Central American players. My further contributions would be focused on highlighting obscure yet up and coming Central American players who play in regional tournaments but are relatively unknown. In addition, the page I created for Robin Betancourth was completely factual with links and contained no opinion whatsoever.

Decline reason:

Procedural decline; user has realized that they need to use unblock-un. — Daniel Case (talk) 02:55, 31 August 2013 (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.

Request reason:

My old username was deemed to be associated with a promotional endeaveor

Decline reason:

Procedural decline - no response to follow-up questions below after several days. Please post a new request should you still wish to pursue an unblock. Jezebel'sPonyo ^{bons mots} 16:53, 5 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Here are a few key questions:

Do you understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a business directory?
Do you understand conflict of interest?
Do you understand that to be considered for an encyclopedia article, the subject must be notable?

You are currently blocked because your username appears directly related to a company, group or product that you have been promoting, contrary to the username policy. Changing the username will not allow you to violate the 3 important principles above. Daniel Case (talk) 02:55, 31 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
