February 2015[edit]

Please note WP:COI. It appears you are acting as a promotional editor for AutoNation and associated individuals. Please familiarize yourself with these policies. NativeForeigner ^Talk 23:20, 24 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about beliefs, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. NativeForeigner ^Talk 23:27, 24 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed you removed my notice, that is perfectly fine. However, it is very disruptive for you to mark all of your edits, whether major [1] , or minor [2], as minor, as it is a means to evade scrutiny for your edits, many of which appear to be promotional in nature. So your edit summary No evidence of Edit abuse , is not exactly correct. NativeForeigner ^Talk 13:56, 26 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If substance of individual points within an article remain the same, then the edit is minor in nature. Major edits would be a removal specific attribute or fact or addition of attribute or fact. All edits you highlighted above did not change the nature of any fact or attribute contained within any article. Hence they are considered minor in nature. There was word re-ordering to prove a smoothing and softness to address possibly a concern for "puffery" and we agree on this. But, to put forward that this characterization of major vs. and minor edits is used to be "deceitful" is "outlandish" an a misrepresentation of the nature of edits. Additionally, Wikipedia is a real time encyclopedia and facts are added in real time. This might seem promotional, but that is the nature of a "Real Time" encyclopedia. For example in 1899, if we were writing about "Albert Einstein", to keep current with his unproven theories may look promotional would it not? Tramel33166 (talk) 14:49, 26 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for your pattern of advertising AutoNation related entities. I have attempted to inform you of relevant policies. Your latest response indicates to me that your main purpose here is not to build an encyclopedia, but to game the system and promote AutoNation and related entities.. 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. NativeForeigner ^Talk 23:50, 26 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
