Hello, Trojan87, and
welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for
your contributions, especially what you did for
Bobby's World. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
To be more precise, spamming a website with which your company is affiliated, and yes it is spam to favor your particular website in the lead, is a conflict of interest. Using summaries copied from an official website is also a copyright violation. Your enthusiasm is nice, but being an employee doesn't entitle you to ignoring such concerns. —

Even if you had permission to cross-post the material, which I seriously doubt given the incompatible copyright licensing that applies here and there, it's bad form to copy summaries exactly. Furthermore, yours is much more verbose, and needlessly flowery. As for favoring your website,
this edit speaks for itself. Kabillion isn't a network, but you've added it to the infobox. you've also added the website link directly below the opening paragraph, making sure that it is the first thing readers happen upon. This is the essence of spam. Again, while I get that you're all about adding the correct info, you have a conflict of interest you're clearly not able to see. —

As you wish, young Jedi. First, kabillion is video on demand, either by Comcast or online. It's not an actual network ala CBS or Cartoon Network. At least that's how I understand it, I might be wrong through definition. As for replacing/fixing information, you can fix links without spamming. Kabillion works fine as an external link or integrated as a wikilink as in Code Lyoko. It doesn't belong in the infobox because it isn't an original network, i.e. the network where the show started. Also, your use of bolding for its title is improper. —

The account with this username has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia, because of concerns that the chosen username may not meet our
username policy.
This is often not a reflection on the user, and you are encouraged to
choose a new account name which does meet our guidelines and are invited to contribute to Wikipedia under an appropriate username. If you feel this block was made in error, you may quickly and easily appeal it - see below.
Our username policy provides guidance on selecting your username. In brief, usernames should not be offensive, disruptive, promotional, related to a 'real-world' group or organization, confusing, or misleading. Also, usernames may not end with the string "bot" unless the account is an approved
bot account.
If you have already made edits and wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name you may request a
change in username. To do so, please follow these directions:
Add {{
unblock-un|your new username here}} below. This is possible because even when you are blocked, you can still edit your own talk page.
At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
Please note, you may only request a name that is not already in use. The account is created upon acceptance – do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change since we can far easier allocate your new name to you, if it is not yet used. Usernames that have already been taken are listed
here. For more information, please visit Wikipedia:Changing username. Keep in mind, though, that
creating a new account is much faster and easier.
Last, the automated software systems that prevent vandalism may have been activated, which can cause new account creation to be blocked also. If you have not acted in a deliberately inappropriate manner, please let us know if this happens, and we will deactivate the block as soon as possible. You may also
appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below or emailing the administrator who blocked you.
