Hi, hope this message finds you well.

I didn't quite understand the block or the paid editing.

This is my own informational site that i built from ground up to make it easy for people to understand Apple specifications.

I do not get money for adding links, but wanted better exposure for my site easymacspecs.com Geekanswers (talk) 02:01, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"wanted better exposure for my site" - we call that promotion, and it is forbidden here. --Orange Mike | Talk 02:09, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

ah i see. forgive me. I thought the references were extremely helpful to users. Its important to have a site like mine as there isn't any easy reading for Apple specifications. If you have any ideas what i should do or how i can reference this then i would be most grateful. Geekanswers (talk) 02:18, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
