User talk:Dareboy1968

July 2018

Hello, I'm Bagumba. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added to Luke Walton have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Lakersnews.com does not appear to be a reliable source. —Bagumba (talk) 22:54, 18 July 2018 (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. — MusikAnimal ^talk 21:16, 19 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

August 2018

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing 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 ~~~~}}. —Bagumba (talk) 17:34, 23 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I am not spamming, or at least I'm not intending to spam, i'm very much wanting to be part of the good user community and fix dead links by putting correct and appropriate news. Can we correspond and how I can be involved please.

Decline reason:

All of the edits I looked at were to lakersnews.com. That's a totally inappropriate site to link to, and I can't help but suspect you are involved with that site. Yamla (talk) 18:17, 23 August 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.

Request reason:

I am a very active sports blogger and provide content for ESPN, screen and roll, lakersnews.com, lakernation, and recently boston herald. I am putting some historic content on lakersnews recently. Can we please allow that? I thank you so much for your understanding.

Decline reason:

You will not be allowed to post links to what I also believe to be your blog here; as Yamla told you, that is not an appropriate site to link to. Please read about what reliable sources are and conflict of interest. Being unblocked will likely involve you agreeing to not post links to your blog in articles. I am declining this request. 331dot (talk) 19:23, 23 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
