Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. El_C 06:46, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you insert a spam link. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted, preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites as well as potentially being penalized by search engines.

All of the links i was trying to add are not spam and are all related to the subject at hand. The links are appropriate and they are not being used in order to promote or advertise. These articles have been written by professionals in the field all under the company Information International. A research and consultancy firm with its head office located in Beirut, Information International conducts major feasibility studies.
- It looks like you're promoting one website. And, anyway, we already have the information available in the Statistics section. El_C 14:26, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
There have been two problems with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing.
If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth 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 that reason, you must:
- Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
- Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.
{{unblock|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Yunshui 雲水 13:00, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

Request reason:
Hello , i request further explanation As i have mentioned before all links i am adding are related to the articles. The intention is not to promote or advertise anything, the sole purpose is to contribute with additional and accurate information attained through research. I intend to make useful contributions to topics by adding new information to pages backed up with reliable sources.
Decline reason:
Firstly, our username is the name of an organization (to which I presume you have some connection?), and usernames appearing to represent organizations are not allowed. Secondly, your edits are all adding links to magazine articles published by the organization, and that is considered promotion here. So, if you want to be unblocked, please follow the instructions in the block message. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 09:20, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
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.
