[Wikimedia ZA] DjMlindos Blocked

Hi Linda, I can't see the old versions of the page that you were editing because I'm not an administrator on the English Wikipedia, so I can't tell exactly what the content was, but looking at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westrand I see that it was deleted three times, twice for "unambiguous advertising or promotion" and once for copyright infringement. The policies under which it was deleted are linked on that page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyrights https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Advertising - which links through to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not#Wikipedia_is_… I'd strongly encourage you to read these policies before returning to edit again. Whenever a Wikipedia editor sees a new page that doesn't look like it belongs in an encyclopedia, or which contains text that was taken from a copyrighted source, it is likely to get deleted quickly. If the editor who created the page just recreates it without addressing the issue for which it was deleted in the first place, he gets blocked. This is normal. I see on your talk page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:DjMlindos) that Kinu removed your request to unblock you, and looking at the page history I can see why. An unblock request is when you explain to an administrator that your account should no longer be blocked, because: a) you should not have been blocked in the first place (because you did nothing wrong: the admin made a mistake in blocking you) OR b) you understand what you did wrong, and you promise not to do it again. In your unblock request, you wrote what basically looks like an advertisement for your company ( https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:DjMlindos&diff=523… ) This is almost guaranteed to keep you blocked for good, because it shows that you don't understand the purpose of Wikipedia, or at least, how to interact properly with administrators. I hope this has helped you understand what happened: please feel free to ask for more information.
