User talk:Asagala

June 2018

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. MER-C 19:58, 5 June 2018 (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:

There was a missing business in the car rental category. They are one of the pioneers in the car rental industry in Canada. All the other businessess are there so I added the page and I get blocked for it. I dont understand why.

Decline reason:

You will not be unblocked until it is clear that you understand the problem with your edits. Whilst you may have read WP:PROMO and WP:COPYVIO, your responses below make me very unsure that you have understood and will implement them in future. Yunshui ^雲 _水 08:07, 6 June 2018 (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.

The page was clearly promotional, making it seem like you work for or represent the business you wrote about. Do you? MER-C what is the issue with the username? 331dot (talk) 20:40, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

MER-C No I do not work for Discount Car and Truck Rentals

Where did you get the text? 331dot (talk) 22:12, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's directly from here. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆 𝄐𝄇} 22:18, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I used parts of their website text and added certain details like the prize they won.

Are you familiar with WP:COPYVIO and WP:PROMO?----Anthony Bradbury^"talk" 22:24, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I am now. The page about Discount is good. It has information on Discount. You might not like it and it might not pass the wikipedia quality test but its no reason to block an account. I am trying to help.

Trying to help? By failing to read the text you brazenly dumped into Wikipedia, thus creating a spam page written in the second person? Did you bother to understand what the aim of this project is before you signed up? MER-C 10:10, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nice attitude.

The username part of the block was an error on my part. MER-C 10:10, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
