Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Kobalt (tools). 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. [1] MrOllie (talk) 23:36, 11 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at Computer security, you may be blocked from editing. MrOllie (talk) 23:47, 11 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi MrOllie, thanks for reaching out. The link has been removed already. Kobaltio (talk) 23:49, 11 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't cut and paste blog posts into Wikipedia either. All content must be written in encyclopedic style and based on reliable sources. - MrOllie (talk) 00:03, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because of the following problems: 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, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

You may request a change of username and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization. To do this, first search Special:CentralAuth for available usernames that comply with the username policy. Once you have found an acceptable username, 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 your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked. In your reasons, you must:

Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure requirement.
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.

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. Orange Mike | Talk 00:37, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have fixed your unblock request. Please put new postings at the bottom of the page so that the discussion appears in the correct chronological order. Thanks. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 05:28, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The name would be fine. But what is your connection to kobalt.io? Daniel Case (talk) 06:12, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Got that, thanks. I contribute blogs for Kobalt.io Kobaltio (talk) 20:17, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

So, that makes you by our standards a paid contributor. You would have to disclose that, and you might not be able to edit that article. If you couldn't, what else would you be interested in editing? Daniel Case (talk) 06:32, 15 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
