User talk:PillerSegan

August 2024

Hello, I'm Waxworker. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Lloyd Segan, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Waxworker (talk) 18:47, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi I'm really sorry about this, it wasn't at all my intention to do any sort of promoting. We have no financial stake in this and are not trying to earn any kind of money. I will be sure to add references and citations. But in order to re-add a citation I'd need to be unblocked. I'd appreciate being unblocked from editing; it was an honest mistake and I'm just an assistant who has been tasked with updating my bosses' pages. I will be sure to change my username too, I wasn't aware that making your username represent a business was against terms. PillerSegan (talk) 22:27, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because it has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. Also, your username gives the impression that the account represents a business, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

If you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization, you may request unblock and a username change. In your reasons, you must follow all these steps:

Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement; and
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; and
Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked; and
Provide a new username.

To do this, insert 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 your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken and in use by another account. You can search to see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns that no global account with that username exists, that means it is still available.

Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks, you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page. Alexf^(talk) 20:02, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I am just trying to update my bosses' info; any ostensible promotion was not meant to be one. I will remove anything that can be seen as promotional and be sure to cite my new changes. PillerSegan (talk) 22:31, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

You need to understand WP:COI. You should not be directly editing the article, but instead posting on the talk page in an edit request. PhilKnight (talk) 17:07, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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.

You have three separate open unblock requests. Please remove two of your open unblock requests and/or consolidate all three into a single open unblock request. You'll also want to review WP:BOSS and WP:COI. If your boss has given you an inappropriate task, that's between you and your boss. --Yamla (talk) 23:03, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If your boss has instructed you to do this, you are a paid editor because your boss has made it part of your job duties and you receive a salary for your job. 331dot (talk) 07:19, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

While your unblock is awaiting review, please also see Wikipedia's policies on verifiability and no original research. Everything in a Wikipedia article must be cited to a reliable source. If something has never been published in a reliable source, then it cannot exist on Wikipedia. Your boss's unpublished personal knowledge or experience will not be accepted, even if he knows or believes it to be true (see Verifiability, not truth). --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 15:19, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
