Promotional editing

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to article. While objective prose about beliefs, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. The systematic addition of references to an external website, in gross disproportion to the site's critical reputation, is generally viewed as promotional editing, at least bordering on spammery.

This is your last warning; the next time you use Wikipedia for soapboxing, promotion or advertising, as you did at article, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. You were warned about doing this when you used a different account several years ago. I have removed all the promotional references you added earlier today. If you do not stop, promptly, I will request an administrative block on this account; if you resume under another account, you will run the risk that your site be placed on the Wikipedia list of forbidden links, so that neither you nor any other user may link to your site without adminstrative review and permission. If you wish to advertise your reviews, do so by placing paid advertising at a site which accepts advertising. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 16:55, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This user is asking that their block be reviewed:

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

Request reason:

It's strange to think that Wikipedia, a site that advertises itself as "the free encyclopedia" where "anyone can edit," actively practices discrimination. Adding thoughtful responses to the Reception section for a film in accord with the page guidelines/references is NOT spam or self promotion. Nor is adding an interview with a particular filmmaker or star. It's precisely what other critics have already done and continue to do (check out the Reception section of 'Batman Begins' as an example). However, if those are the rules, let me know when all references to Roger Ebert, Peter Travers, James Berardinelli, Mike Clark, Charles Taylor, Claudia Puig, Steve Persall, A.O. Scott, Walter Addiego, Philip French, Neil Smith, Kim Newman, Joe Morgenstern, Richard Corliss, Owen Gleiberman, etc. have been removed as well. After all, the rules should apply to everyone, right?

Notes:

  • In some cases, you may not in fact be blocked, or your block has already expired. Please check the list of active blocks. If no block is listed, then you have been autoblocked by the automated anti-vandalism systems. Please remove this request and follow these instructions instead for quick attention by an administrator.
  • Please read our guide to appealing blocks to make sure that your unblock request will help your case. You may change your request at any time.
Administrator use only:

If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, replace this template with the following, replacing "blocking administrator" with the name of the blocking admin:

{{Unblock on hold |1=blocking administrator |2=It's strange to think that Wikipedia, a site that advertises itself as "the free encyclopedia" where "anyone can edit," actively practices discrimination.

After all, the rules should apply to everyone, right? |3 = ~~~~}}

If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following code, substituting {{subst:Decline reason here}} with a specific rationale. Leaving the decline reason unchanged will result in display of a default reason, explaining why the request was declined.

If you accept the unblock request, replace this template with the following, substituting Accept reason here with your rationale:

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for adding spam links. Persistent spammers will have their websites blacklisted from Wikipedia and potentially penalized by search engines. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.
