FYI - if you're adding a new section to an article, like "Sister cities", only the first letter should be capitalized unless it's a proper noun. See WP:MOS. Regards, P. D. Cook ^{Talk to me!} 21:16, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I see you're not taking my advice. Also, it would be helpful if you properly formatted your citations. Please check out WP:CITE. I recommend slowing down a bit and reviewing these guidelines. P. D. Cook ^{Talk to me!} 21:21, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings, I'm a bit concerned about your editing behavior, but since you didn't respond to me, I created a discussion at the link above. Feel free to comment there. P. D. Cook ^{Talk to me!} 21:32, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Donald Albury. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to the main body of Phoenix, Arizona. Generally, any relevant external links should be listed in an "External links" section at the end of the article and meet the external links guidelines. Links within the body of an article should be internal Wikilinks. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. - Donald Albury 22:53, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you insert a spam link, as you did at Alameda, California. 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.

Please do not use styles that are unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in Qufu. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Thank you. P. D. Cook ^{Talk to me!} 20:54, 13 January 2020 (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:

I am updating my organization's database of sister cities as the former Wikipedia links led to an offline page, thus making it necessary for me to update these links and the sister cities of the US on Wikipedia as a result.

Decline reason:

This doesn't convince me you understand why this was inappropriate, nor does it tell me how you'd edit differently in the future, if we lifted the block. Yamla (talk) 21:51, 13 January 2020 (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.

Hello 50.239.116.194. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat SEO.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:50.239.116.194. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=50.239.116.194|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. Ifnord (talk) 21:44, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Anonymous users from this IP address have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 month for adding spam links. Persistent spammers will have their websites blacklisted from Wikipedia and potentially penalized by search engines.

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 ~~~~}}.  Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 17:48, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
