Only warning

Obviously, I did not mean to replace the bad link with a worse one that does not even support the claim you added it to. Please do not add further links until you have a grasp of WP:RS; you may also want to read WP:PAID. Kuru (talk) 13:45, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It supports the claim, read through the first paragraph. I have asked to give exact point on why you see it a bad link. Now you are assuming bad faith. I was not paid to add that link. (I won't add that link again, unless you see it good). But you gotta help me understand. Discuss the link and why you see it a bad one.Erin93 (talk) 13:50, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Erin, the first paragraph does not support "The hashtag #infographic was tweeted 56,765 times in March 2012 and at its peak 3,365 times in a span of 24 hours," which is the claim you directly tagged. We've discussed reliable sources vs. content marketing blogs; it's trivial enough to locate sources that meet our criteria. I mean, if you're truly here to improve sourcing. You may want to also address the licensing issue created with the client draft uploaded here, while we're at it. Kuru (talk) 15:40, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I meant to tag it for the rest of the paragraph except the last sentence. How is the link content marketing? Can you share insights on how you determine that? Actually, that's a draft I created while working on the page.Erin93 (talk) 17:11, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Look partner, it's really suspicious when someone keeps pushing an obviously unacceptable spam link in such a clumsy manner. There's two open and active Upwork freelance jobs for icons8 titled "Link building for blog articles." Your only previous edits are a pretty good imitation of a paid gig. We can do this dance all day if you'd like, but the end result is that you're going to get icons8 blacklisted along with several other domains associated with the parent. I can see that there are several other attempts to backlink that same blog post very recently on other sites. I assume the job is open ended and I respect that you need to get paid, but please do so elsewhere. Kuru (talk) 19:55, 18 July 2017 (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.

Notice of Conflict of interest noticeboard discussion

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest incident with which you may be involved. Thank you. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 12:38, 15 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

October 2017

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for undisclosed paid editing in contravention of the terms of use.

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 ~~~~}}. SmartSE (talk) 10:39, 16 October 2017 (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).

Erin93 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I never got paid for any work I did on Wikipedia and never will. Per WP:PROXYING, I never posted or edited material at the direction of a banned editor and I'm not the blocked user himself. My article is totally different from the old deleted version that I'm aware of. I believe my changes are productive and I don't have any connections with the subject. Erin93 (talk) 14:17, 16 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

From the edit history, there are clear tell-tale signs that this account was either being paid to make the edits to these articles, or part of a sockfarm/proxy to work with paid editing. As it stands, this account will not be unblocked. RickinBaltimore (talk) 12:51, 17 October 2017 (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.

Aaron Ampudia has several hallmarks of undisclosed paid editing. You were given several warnings above about adding spammy links. Then you !voted to keep an article created by another undisclosed paid editor that was far from notable. Then you recreated an article that had already been deleted twice in the last two weeks by a sockfarm. If you want to be unblocked you need to explain why you made these edits. SmartSE (talk) 14:32, 16 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Okay first of all, The article Aaron Ampudia was my first article to experiment on when entering the site. I chose a subject that I had some knowledge about.

As for the spammy links, I wanted to contribute to articles with sources to cite changes I made (I didn't realize till later that I had to select top sources fear that it's considered spammy by other editors).
I saw the subject as a notable person and that was my judgement based on the links and mentions that she had.
I have nothing to do with the sockfarm and I created it solely because I acknowledge him as an entrepreneur.

I don't know if tracking my activities and edits can help but that sounds offensive to me when I really didn't do any of the things mentioned and all my activities are based solely on what I see is right. Erin93 (talk) 14:44, 16 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Smartse: Can I now get unblocked? It has been almost 24 hours with my explanation to these edits. Erin93 (talk) 10:54, 17 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Another administrator will review your statement soon. To them: can you please ping/email me as there is something I'd prefer not to say here which makes me doubtful of the explanation above. SmartSE (talk) 12:06, 17 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Erin93. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Aaron Ampudia".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 03:26, 5 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
