November 2017

This is your only warning; if you insert a spam link to Wikipedia again, as you did at 2MT, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. 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.
Your edit here to 2MT was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://www.2-minute-trader-plus.com, http://www.2-minute-trader-plus.com) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 11:20, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked

You have been blocked from editing for a period of one week for adding spam links. Persistent spammers will have their websites blacklisted from Wikipedia and potentially penalized by search engines. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

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 ~~~~}}. A Train^talk 12:07, 8 November 2017 (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:

after the edit that included the link I received a warning from a bot which stated that the link looked like spam so the edit had been deleted. I removed the link and rewrote the edit as per instructions. Why have I then been blocked? JimmyHowlett (talk) 14:19, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

This edit reinserted the exact same link, so it appears as though your purpose here is primarily to insert links to this website. Wikipedia's policies generally discourage linking to external sites except when using them as references. If you can undertake to avoid adding such links in future, then the block can be lifted, but since your explanation ("I removed the link") is demonstrably false, I am decline your unblock request at this time.

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.
