Hello, I'm Deb. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions because it 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.

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for advertising or promotion. From your contributions, this seems to be your only purpose. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Bbb23 (talk) 23:46, 27 June 2013 (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:

I stand, hat in hand, asking for your forgiveness and to have my account unblocked. If you review my activities over the past 36 hours, you'll see that what I was trying to do (albeit unsuccessfully) was to write an informational article on a new company, Baby Bytes. Posting this kind of information is new to me, and I tried to look at postings of other companies and products (Backflip Studios, Baby Einstein, Toca boca, Zynga, Paper Toss) as examples of what Wiki deemed acceptable. When my first article was speedily deleted, I wrote to the deleter to ask for guidance, but didn't get a reply. I tried to amend the article to remove what could be construed as promotional language. By my fifth (and final) posting, I thought I had stripped bare any appearance of being unambiguously promotional and I had tried to underscore why this story had merit. I meanwhile read everything I could find that Wiki has posted about guidelines for creating articles, and I studied Wiki articles about companies, and thought I was being a good Wiki citizen and doing the right thing. Clearly, Wiki thinks otherwise. Even if you decide not to unblock me, it would be great to know what part of the final article that I wrote was offensive, or if the entire idea of the article was offensive. I apologize for taking your time, but if I can learn something from this, that would be great. Again, I am not a spammer, I do not have bad intentions, ever... I'm an honest person, who clearly made a mistake in judgment. If you could shine a spotlight on where I went wrong, I'd be very grateful, and wouldn't do it again. Thanks for your consideration.

Decline reason:

There is nothing offensive; the thing is, in general, we don't get to write about our own companies on Wikipedia. --jpgordon^{::==( o )} 15:24, 28 June 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.
