You have been temporarily blocked from editing in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for continuing to add spam links. If you wish to make useful contributions, you are welcome to come back after the block expires. Persistent spammers will have their websites blacklisted from Wikipedia and potentially penalized by search engines. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below.

Request reason:

wow, i'm really sorry. i am new here. didnt read the guidelines for external links. Thanks for understanding. Tal.

Decline reason:

I have blocked this account indefinitely because the name strays from Wikipedia's username policy and the account was used only to add linkspam to many articles. This is a soft block, which means you can open up a new account: If you like, please do so using a neutral name which does not promote a business and be aware that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a marketing platform. — Gwen Gale (talk) 14:26, 8 August 2008 (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.

Please wait while I contact the blocking admin. _Gb^T/c 12:35, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you are to be unblocked, I would recommend that you change your username. Under

Wikipedia's Username policy, company names are generally not allowed to be used as usernames; since your first 30 or so edits were to add a link to your company in totally unrelated articles, you should seriously reconsider your choice of username. Use of company names are seen as promotional by many editors, and as long as you use that name, your edits will be scrutinized by other editors and administrators.

I'm concerned that you are here only for commercial purposes. Your username is like a billboard ad for the company. Then you added a link to the company to dozens of articles. Are you looking for a webhosting service? Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, so we don't offer webhosting services. I think it would be better if you spend the remainder of the time left on your block reviewing our policies and guidelines. I want you to think about whether your goals are consistent with the project goals-- building an Encyclopedia, not promoting businesses or networking. I'll leave a welcome below with useful links.
