Request reason:

Dear administrator, I am contacting you with the purpose of appealing the recent blockage that Wikipedia has applied to my account. I have read and understood the Terms of Use and paid editing disclosure requirements that govern Wikipedia and that have been made available to me through the following link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Paid-contribution_disclosure#Wikimedia_Foundation_Terms_of_Use.

Although I now understand the reasons that have led to the blocking of my personal account as an editor on Wikipedia, I would like to clarify that I have not received any compensation for the content posted on my Talk Page and that the articles have never been written with the intention of causing any damage or disruption to Wikipedia. More specifically, with regards to the article "Loesche GmbH", I would like to clarify that I have never been compensated by any person, group, company, or organization to write or edit the article or to use or post the article on Wikipedia to promote their interests.

I acknowledge that once I read Wikipedia´s Conflict of Interest (COI) Terms I understood why it was assumed that I might have received financial compensation for writing and publishing the article since, at the time, I was an employee at a Spanish subsidiary company of the mother company Loesche GmbH, located in Germany, which I wrote about to provide a little insight of its history and evolution. Nevertheless, the truth is had I known that I was incurring a potential conflict of interest according to the terms established by Wikipedia I would have refrained from this publication.

However, I wrote that article without knowing that I was violating an essential requirement of Wikipedia and I would like to clarify that I was not asked or paid to write and publish the article, I did it voluntarily since there was not much information on the internet about the company. Also, after several years, I have made a couple of short edits with the aim of properly continuing my task as a contributor in a voluntary manner.

According to the above, I wish to confirm that my intention has never been, and will not be, to edit or create articles for advertising purposes in the future. However, I would like to request if it would be possible to consider removing the violation of Wikipedia’s terms of use notice from the article since my personal error of not disclosing my employment status at the time should not be a reason to compromise a company´s good name and reputation.

Thank you very much for your attention and consideration in this matter.

Best Regards. 81.38.49.253 (talk) 08:09, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Login in issue[edit]

Thank you so much for your prompt reply.

However, when I'm logged in I'm unable to add or edit any content due to my account being blocked. I was instructed by the administrator who sent me the blockage notice that I could appeal via this User talk section.

Could you kindly advise on how to proceed from here or if I could provide additional information for reviewing my case?

Thank you!
