Undisclosed paid advocacy is strictly prohibited. Using this site for advertising or promotion is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia.

If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, please read our guide to appealing blocks to understand more about unblock requests, and then add the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the end of your user talk page. For that request to be considered, you must:

• Confirm that you have read and understand the Terms of Use and paid editing disclosure requirements.
• State clearly how you are being compensated for your edits, and describe any affiliation or conflict of interest you might have with the subjects you have written about.

Request reason:

• I refrained from editing or creating Wikipedia articles for the past few weeks to reflect on my previous mistakes. I understand the paid editing policies, and I promise not to engage in further paid editing. * Some of the older articles I created have been deleted because they didn't meet Wikipedia's criteria, but they were not paid articles. I was very new to Wikipedia when I created them and didn't know much about Wikipedia policies back then. While I admit that some of my recent articles were paid, they were removed by other editors, and I do not intend to engage in paid editing again. I'm not affiliated with my previous clients anymore, nor do I intend to be in the future. Amtala High school, Sonatikuri High school - These are the educational institutions in our locality. As I said earlier, I was very new here when I created these articles and unaware of most of the Wikipedia policies. I've been associated with # Precisionary Instruments # Steve Hobberman # William McKnight * I will mostly stick to minor editing, preventing vandalism, etc. I will not edit my previously created articles. I will always used AfC for article creation. I've been on Wikipedia for more than 5 years and want to contribute positively. Everybody makes mistakes, and I admit that I made a mistake by not following Wikipedia policies. I should get a second chance. M66JX (talk) 13:25, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Procedural decline only. This unblock request has been open for more than two weeks but has not proven sufficient for any reviewing administrator to take action, or you have not responded to questions raised during that time. You are welcome to request a new block review if you substantially reword your request. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that

• the block is not necessary to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia, or
• the block is no longer necessary because you
  1. understand what you have been blocked for,
  2. will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
  3. will make useful contributions instead.

Please read the guide to appealing blocks for more information. Yamla (talk) 19:00, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

Request reason:

• Hi! My previous unblock request went unnoticed. So I read more articles on wikipedia, not only wikipedia regulations related articles, but also mainspace articles. It helped me to understand the ethos of Wikipedia and made me understand the goal of greater impact, greater good instead of running for material benefits in return of Wikipedia edits.

• I refrained from editing or creating Wikipedia articles for the past few weeks before getting blocked to reflect on my previous mistakes.I spent few months to understand wikipedia and its policies better. I understand the paid editing policies, and I promise not to engage in further paid editing.

• Some of the older articles I created have been deleted because they didn't meet Wikipedia's criteria, but they were not paid articles. I was very new to Wikipedia when I created them and didn't know much about Wikipedia policies back then. While I admit that some of my recent articles (Which were mentioned in my previous unblock request) were paid, they were removed by other editors, I promise to not engage in paid editing again.

• I want to contribute wikipedia and I believe I can contribute wikipedia with my abilities and skills. So I would like to request to unblock me.

Accept reason:

Paid editing disclosed with promises to avoid in future. Happy editing! -- asilvering (talk) 14:01, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

Can you please clarify which of your previous edits were paid? And can you clearly tell us what topics you have a conflict of interest with? (See: WP:COI.) -- asilvering (talk) 03:01, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

I had disclosed the articles in my previous unblock request. Those were Steve Hoberman, William McKnight (entrepreneur), Precisionary Instruments. Articles created after October 2023 were paid. I do not have conflict of interest with any other topics or articles. M66JX (talk) 03:35, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

Sorry @M66JX, I missed your reply to this earlier. Can you please fill out the paid editor declaration template? Not all of your creations have been deleted (eg, the history of Precision cut kidney slices is still there behind the redirect). -- asilvering (talk) 22:18, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

Can you also tell us what kind of article you're interested in editing if unblocked? -- asilvering (talk) 22:19, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

I have disclosed necessary information on my talk page. I will mainly contribute to West Bengal's places and culture, Indian places and culture, Television and Indian railways related articles if I am unblocked. M66JX (talk) 17:19, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

Great, thank you. @Joe Roe, any objections? -- asilvering (talk) 21:26, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

None from me. I am glad you are stopping the paid editing, M66JX. – Joe (talk) 06:47, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
