  • I'm going to post here what I posted at Wikipedia:Requests_for_undeletion#Instapray. Basically there's a good reason to suspect that you are the founder of Instapray because your username and the Twitter handle of the company's founder are identical, despite your claims at REFUND that you are not the founder and have no ties whatsoever to the company. Your edits have been solely about Instapray and while they weren't over the top promotional, they were still written in a way that could be seen as promotional. This is part of the reason why Wikipedia requires that people disclose a conflict of interest - in many cases it's just that the COI makes it easier to write about something in a promotional way without ever meaning for it to come across as promotional- especially if your job requires you to write press releases or other marketing material. Now if you'd disclosed your COI you would've been asked to create a copy at AfC and to be careful about writing in a WP:NPOV. You would've been asked not to add information about your company to the mainspace... and that's about it. COI editors are given more scrutiny than non-COI editors, but it's not against the rules to edit with a COI. What is against Wikipedia's rules is for you to intentionally hide a COI and when asked, to continue to try to hide that connection. Because there is a lot of evidence that suggests that you are the founder and that you've tried to hide this (it's extremely unlikely that a random user will just so happen to choose the founder's online handle for a username), I'm blocking you. Unless you can give an extremely good reason as to why you've done this and you can sincerely promise that you will follow policy, it's unlikely that you will be unblocked.
