User talk:Blairrw

Hello, Blairrw. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Anglo-Indian , you may have a conflict of interest. People with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, see the conflict of interest guideline and frequently asked questions for organizations. In particular, please:

avoid editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, its competitors, or projects and products you or they are involved with;
instead, propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing, and autobiographies. Thank you. Melcous (talk) 02:26, 1 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Anglo-Indian. 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. Melcous (talk) 05:09, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

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 or a web site, 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.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. RickinBaltimore (talk) 14:09, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Hi, I made a mistake. I was trying to link eight more books about Anglo Indians in the Anglo Indian page. I was merely trying to show that these books were available as resources to anyone who is interested about Anglo Indians. My intention was not to sell the books via Wikipedia, merely to further the knowledge around Anglo Indians and similar topics. Please let me know how I can unblock my account so I can contribute to Wikipedia once more. Best, Blair Williams

Decline reason:

For all I can tell your website doesn't offer those books for free download or anything, but for sale. Are you seriously telling us that you were "trying to show that these books were available as resources" and expected nobody to actually follow up by buying your books? Sorry, I don't believe that.

You need to describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked. PhilKnight (talk) 23:25, 24 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
