Hello, I'm
Amortias. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of
your recent contributions to
Optical time-domain reflectometer because it appeared to be promotional.
Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "
soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the
welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

{{
unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} and posting it below this notice (replacing "Your reason here ~~~~" with the reason), but you should read the
guide to appealing blocks first.Are you interested in helping to build the encyclopedia without adding any content related to your organization? If so, please let me know and I can unblock you. Anna Frodesiak ( talk) 23:33, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

Request reason:
This was my first post. I can now see how this can be viewed as advertising, I do not intend to advertise, but to contribute for bettering. please consider reinstating my account.
Decline reason:
There are several issues here. Firstly, even without the spam issues your username would be a violation of the username policy because it is the name of a company and implies shared use. Shared use of accounts is not permitted; nor are usernames implying shared use. If you were to be unblocked you would have to request a username change via WP:Changing username/Simple; you should use the following template for further unblock requests: {{ unblock-un|user=new username|reason=your reason here}} If you want your new username to be associated with the company, a name such as "John at ATE Corp" would be acceptable. Secondly, I do not think you have answered Anna Frodesiak's question on whether you are interested in contributing to Wikipedia other than by adding any content related to your organization. If the "betterment" you're interested in consists of linking to the company website, that wouldn't be welcome. Huon ( talk) 18:57, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
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.
A couple of questions:
- Are you going to add the same link (or any link for that matter) again?
- What articles are you intending to edit?
