Your account has been blocked indefinitely for advertising or promotion and violating the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use. This is because you have been making promotional edits to topics in which you have an undisclosed financial stake, yet you have failed to adhere to the mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a form of conflict of interest (COI) editing which involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. 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.
  • Describe how you intend to edit such topics in the future. MER-C 19:05, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I would ask you to remove the flag on this entry and to remove my ban.

I am writing to dispute the claim that I have edited wikipedia for advertising or promotion. Specifically, I am not being paid to create or edit a page on Rosemary Leith - the entry for which I have recently been active and for which there were some questions about copyright.

I confirm I have read and understand the Terms of Use and paid editing disclosure requirements.

I am not being being compensated for my edits. My affiliation is that I am employed by the World Wide Web Consortium at MIT W3C.

As far as any conflict of interest for the subjects I have written about, I know Rosemary Leith because I know Tim Berners-Lee (he is the Director of the Web Consortium and is my boss) but I am not in any way being paid to make an entry for Rosemary Leith. Tim Berners-Lee did not ask me to make an entry for her and in fact, he may not know I did so at all. Any text I’ve added to wikipedia is factual not promotional.

I created an entry for Rosemary Leith because I know her and know that women, especially women working in policy and technology, are vastly under-represented in wikipedia With her extensive work and long advocacy she deserves to be better known. She is not (simply) the wife a famous person, she is a well respected person on her own merits. There have been recent pushes to include more women in wikipedia and this was a contribution I felt I could make for a women in the technology and advocacy sphere who does the work but does not always get the credit.

I can add the World Wide Web Consortium and MIT to my user page if that would be appropriate.

I have some expertise, because of my job history, with web technologies and web history but if I should not contribute entries or updates about technology, people who work in technology or the web, please let me know and I will not do so in the future.

If you have any questions, please feel free to let me know. I would like to be able to contribute helpfully to wikipedia as it’s such an important resource.
