Requested username:

Request reason:

I am sorry, I feel I am being way misunderstood.

When I used the word PROMOTING I am using it to mean. Updating and keeping current and accurate the information on Wikipedia for the purpose of your reads researching the Samara and Carrillo area to learn with accurate information.

When I used the word WE I was using it in the Royal sense as in we/I/the people of the community that provide me (and only me) with information, information as in new schools, new roadways that shorten travel times, new bus options, a new national park, a new hospital in the area, Airline service that is no longer available, airports that have moved, new demographics, there is no mention of turtle preserve here, scarlet mccathe wild animal rescue center, extensive "green" community programs . Information that should be corrected. The write up for Puerto Carrillo needs updating. The villages of Matapalo and Torito on the Bay of Samara are missing.

I am sure you have a very tough job and I am not trying to make it any harder.

The final decision is yours.

I am not mad or upset just confused.

Hope you have a great weekend, Christopher


Ps. Just out of curiosity how would someone go about listing their website at the bottom of a wiki page in the NOTES section just like they did for the near by town of Nosara /info/en/?search=Nosara , this is what I was trying to attempt.

Once again thank you for your time

Decline reason:

Though it's already been said multiple times, I'll try to make it crystal clear; there is not reason to unblock this account if your primary interest is to add links to your website, whether it be at the bottom, middle, or top of an article. Also see WP:COMPETENCE, which may be a factor in this case. OhNoitsJamie Talk 22:04, 19 October 2014 (UTC) reply

Request reason:

I am such a goof. Thank you for the clarification. Our sole purpose is to promote the pueblos of Samara and Carrillo NOT our personal gain. It is clear now that we can not use our links or name (the biggest reason for using our name was to ensure/ inject trust because of our reputation. FYI our information services are 100%)

Previously, this morning even, the Samara, Costa Rica page did have a business link at the bottom for iSamara.co that I see has been removed and this was the original source of this confusion. Thank you for listening to me. We would like to have the ability to edit and improve the basic descriptions on the Samara and the Carrillo pages. Please let me know if you will allow this.

Have a great day, Christopher

Decline reason:

That's almost as bad. Also, Wikipedia is not here for promoting anything, even if there is no profit involved. Even someone giving ten dollar bills away free is not allowed to advertise that. Also, please be aware that accounts on Wikipedia are for individuals only. There is no sharing of accounts or passwords allowed. 'We' is a definite indication that more than one person is expected to use the account. Peridon ( talk) 20:52, 17 October 2014 (UTC) reply




Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended for publicity and/or promotional purposes. If you intend to edit constructively in other topic areas, you may be granted the right to continue under a change of username. Please read the following carefully.
Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, website or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but such groups are generally discouraged from using Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.

Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?

Probably not, although if you can demonstrate a pattern of future editing in strict accordance with our neutral point of view policy, you may be granted this right. See Wikipedia's FAQ for Organizations for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, organization, or clients. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again.

What can I do now?

If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you may consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.

If you do intend to make useful contributions here about some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:

  • Add the text {{ unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} on your user talk page.
  • Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy.
  • Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:
    • Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the edits for which you were blocked.
    • Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.
If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{ unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Alexf (talk) 17:38, 17 October 2014 (UTC) reply

Requested username:

Request reason:

I was blocked in error I feel, Yes I was promoting our business name and some info BUT on the Wiki page Samara at the bottom there is someone that did the same so I assumed it was allowed. I am not very good with computers and I also found the behind the scene instructions not clear. I just wanted to add out website link and short description to the bottom.

I do have intentions of providing non-promotional content to pages for Samara, Costa Rica and Carrillo, Costa Rica as we are the number one source of unbiased and ONLY free and government endorsed info center in the Samara and Carrillo area assisting over 11,000 people per year.

I wanted to add our links to the bottom of the pages as the first step while I write and rewrite the appropriate content.

Please feel free to contact me at Christopher@SamaraInfoCenter.com if you have any questions or concerns about my intent, motives and honor.

Have a great day, Christopher

Decline reason:

The chosen new name is just as bad, and continues to violate the username policy. As you have conflict of interest, you should not be editing any articles that you're related to. You also may never link to your own websites, as that is wholly promotional and violates our external links requirements the panda ₯’ 18:36, 17 October 2014 (UTC) reply

Requested username:

Request reason:

I will keep this simple and without using bold lettering,


~ Your information for Samara and for Carrillo is inaccurate and needs updating, I offered to make the corrections.


~ In the beginning on the Samara page there was a link promoting a business (that link has since been removed) but because it was there in the first place, and you monitor everything so well, I naturally assumed that it was okay to add a link so I tried adding mine, prior to offering new current and accurate text. It was brought to my attention that links are not allowed and I fully understand this....Link are NOT allowed.


~ I have no intention of promoting myself, I proudly speak for the communities of Samara and Carrillo and want to improve the information Wiki readers see. Wrong information makes both of us look bad.

   I represent these two communities at government meeting, trade shows, tourism board meeting and round table discussions, town hall meetings, mayoral meetings, festivals and community events. I know this has nothing to do with Wiki, but Information, ACCURATE Information about Samara and Carrillo is what I do and I do it for free. I do not get paid.


~ I asked a simple question that prompted a bold letter reply, "For our near by town of Nosara there are business links at the bottom". I am just trying to understand why or how that is allowed. Is it a different category?, Is it paid for?, I can not find the answer.


At this point, I am rapidly losing interest and I am sure you really don't care. But if you would like current, accurate, unbiased, non-promoting information, increased text & photos .... I am here.

Either way, Have a nice day. Christopher

Ps, If you have not been to Costa Rica I suggest you visit for your next vacation. It is a truly amazing country with incredible nature everywhere and the best part is you don't have to travel far to see a lot. When you are planning your trip please feel free to contact me.

I am taking the unusual step of declining a second unblock from this account - and that's because the absolute promotion contained within the unblock request itself.
