Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to
Bloomex. While
objective prose about beliefs, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be
a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.

Please stop your
disruptive editing. If you continue to
add soapboxing, promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at
Bloomex, you may be
blocked from editing.

This is your last warning. The next time you
use Wikipedia for soapboxing, promotion or advertising, as seen in
Bloomex, you may be
blocked from editing without further notice.

Hi. An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account, which contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Dimitri Lokhonia, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and admit to it now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community.

- In case you care, you'll most likely be blocked within the next 24 hours for using sockpuppets, as proven by the Checkuser tool at the links above. Just notifying you of the results. gwickwire talk editing 23:57, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

Request reason:
seriously? I'm blocked as a "sock puppet" my god get a life freaks. My name is Mark Camphaug - I am Director of Marketing for Bloomex. I have absolutely nothing to hide. I take offence to the fact that our wiki page has and is being used as a platform to exclusively promote negative business news. I personally have no issue with the negative media and have never tried to remove or delete. That said where is the platform to reference positive news? Why is it that Motorola can footnote a product launch (razr) with their own press release ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorola_Razr - footnote 3) and Bloomex can't do the same thing? Exactly who does Wiki consider a reliable source if not the company itself. I've been in marketing for over 30 years and I'm sorry but a company press release is the primary source - 100% of the time FYI Dimtri Lokhonia is a hard working business owner that genuinely cares about his employees and customers. You make it out like he's some sort of criminal (someone actually referred to him as Bernie Madoff) honestly you should be ashamed of yourselves. Why do you think we have such a great country - it's because of people like Dimitri taking business risks and contributing more then his share to the economy. The company he built is currently the largest florist in Canada both by sales and employees, sells the single most perishable consumer product, and has successfully serviced over one million customers since 2006 - he should get a medal! If like minded "individuals" are your definition of a "sock puppet" then we're guilty but I can assure you we are two different people
Decline reason:
As it happens, "like-minded individuals" working in consort are one of Wikipedia's definitions of a sock puppet, and are treated exactly as though they were a single user with multiple accounts. It seems quite possible that you are in fact a different person, but the rules regarding multiple account abuse still apply. Yunshui 雲 水 08:50, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
