Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

@Pigsonthewing: Hi Andy, thank you for reviewing the article and accepting it. I am a paid editor, so I will continue to submit all of the articles for review even after 10 edits and four days. I believe that is the policy. But, thank you for the welcome message, article review, and all of the guidance above. There are a couple of pages that I haven't read before, so I'll go ahead and do that. W-Eth-Viet (talk) 21:08, 29 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

October 2020[edit]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for editing on behalf of WikiProfessionals, Inc..

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. GeneralNotability (talk) 18:33, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

By community consensus, Wiki Professionals is banned from the English Wikipedia. Even if Wiki Ethicists is a separate entity, Wiki Professionals cannot get around their ban by paying somebody else to edit. GeneralNotability (talk) 18:35, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@GeneralNotability: Hi, I was unaware of the ban on Wiki Professionals Inc. So, first off, thanks for informing me about this. I believe this will help us in looking into companies and their situation on Wikipedia before we make any agreements with them. So far, I have only added a disclosure to the John Paul Ataker's Wikipedia page and made no real edits to it. We have notified Wiki Professionals Inc about this and have even issued a refund to them, informing them that we won't be working with them in the future. However, I would still like to work for our clients in compliance with Wikipedia. I hope you will consider this and unblock my account. Thank you.

Unblock request[edit]

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).

W-Eth-Viet (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Hi, I have been banned from editing Wikipedia despite following the community policies and guidelines regarding paid editing disclosures. I was not aware of the ban against Wiki Professionals Inc and so far I have only added a disclosure notice. Given the discussion link provided by the blocking administrator, we have decided not to move ahead with this order provided by Wiki Professionals Inc, and not take any future orders from them. However, we would like to continue working on Wikipedia for our clients, the ones with whom we have a direct relationship, all the while complying with Wikipedia policies. I hope that we will be able to maintain the trust of the community and the ban will be lifted from my account. Thank you. W-Eth-Viet (talk) 21:29, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Frankly, it's hard to see how it would be beneficial to the community to lift the block. All you plan to do is paid editing and you've already proxied for one of the most problematic banned editors of all time. It may, I suppose, be worth you requesting this block be considered for overturning by the community, but I doubt you'll get much support. Yamla (talk) 10:32, 31 October 2020 (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.

@Yamla: Hi, thanks for reviewing the block request. Can you please guide me on how to request the community? I believe I can present a better case for why I should be unblocked. Thank you. W-Eth-Viet (talk) 22:23, 2 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

WP:UNBAN explains how to do so. Note that you are *not* banned, you are simply blocked. But that explains how to get community consensus. --Yamla (talk) 23:15, 2 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

(Non-administrator comment) On your userpage, you mention that Wiki-Ethicists is a "wing of a marketing agency", but don't disclose its name. Would you be willing to provide the name of the parent agency for transparency's sake? Blablubbs ^{(talk • contribs)} 17:46, 8 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
