Hello, Gotborregosprings. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{ edit COI}} template);
• disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
• do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Good day— RetroCosmos ^talk 17:00, 8 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Help, I dont see a conflict of interest. I dont work for anyone and I am not self promoting. Can you help me. I have read over so much to learn and there just isnt a conflict. HELP! Gotborregosprings ( talk) 07:30, 10 March 2024 (UTC) reply

You are promoting Borrego Springs. It doesn't matter who is doing the promoting or whether you are working for anyone. Promotion is promotion. Good day— RetroCosmos ^talk 18:49, 10 March 2024 (UTC) reply

I’m trying to stay factual. Can you lead me to information about factual vs promotional. My intent is to get the facts onto Wikipedia. Gotborregosprings ( talk) 20:34, 10 March 2024 (UTC) reply

The original information on the wiki page is wrong. I removed the wrong information and it’s back. The images are not representative of the town either. Gotborregosprings ( talk) 20:54, 10 March 2024 (UTC) reply

^{Superscript text}== March 2024, per ignored warning above ==

Please stop. If you continue to add promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. 2601:19E:4180:6D50:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 ( talk) 06:03, 10 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Please help. I dont have anything to promote. I am not promoting.I have tried to find what comes across as promotion can you help? Gotborregosprings ( talk) 07:22, 10 March 2024 (UTC) reply

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you use Wikipedia for promotion or advertising. 2601:19E:4180:6D50:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 ( talk) 06:09, 10 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because your account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. Also, your username gives the impression that the account represents a business, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

If you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization, you may request unblock and a username change. In your reasons, you must:

• Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement; and
• Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked; and
• Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked; and
• Provide a new username.

To do this, post the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken and in use by another account. You can go here to search and see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns that no global account with that username exists, that means it is available to be taken.

Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks, you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page.

Requested username:

mchappy ( talk · account availability check · rename user)

Request reason:

in the future I will read more about the rules and play forming and will make sure to stick with unbiased contributions. I will start small and work with the helper I was given. I didn’t realize I had that option to work with a helper. My intent is not to spam. I want to learn and contribute.

Administrators should consider discussing any unblock with the blocking administrator (see the blocking policy).

Administrator use only:

If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, please place {{subst:Unblock on hold-notification | 1=Gotborregosprings}} on the administrator's talk page. Then replace this template with the following:

{{unblock-un on hold | 1=blocking administrator | 2=mchappy | 3=in the future I will read more about the rules and play forming and will make sure to stick with unbiased contributions. I will start small and work with the helper I was given. I didn’t realize I had that option to work with a helper. My intent is not to spam. I want to learn and contribute. | 4=~~~~}}

If you accept the unblock request, replace this template with the following:

{{unblock-un reviewed | 1=mchappy | reason=in the future I will read more about the rules and play forming and will make sure to stick with unbiased contributions. I will start small and work with the helper I was given. I didn’t realize I had that option to work with a helper. My intent is not to spam. I want to learn and contribute. | accept=Allowing username change to requested username. Please select an option from [[Wikipedia:Changing username]] and file a request as soon as possible to avoid re-blocking. ~~~~}}

If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following, replacing {{subst:Decline reason here}} with any specific rationale. If you do not edit the text after "decline=", a default reason why the request was declined will be inserted.

{{unblock-un reviewed | 1=mchappy | reason=in the future I will read more about the rules and play forming and will make sure to stick with unbiased contributions. I will start small and work with the helper I was given. I didn’t realize I had that option to work with a helper. My intent is not to spam.
