Request reason:

Why would including objective mortgage origination data from a credible source (what other sites list mortgage data besides originationdata.com? If you look at the actual site, it has all types of other information with regards to types of loans originated, ethnicities, loan values and other contextual information) be counted as spam? These were not spam, the edits added value to their respective articles and helped with context with regard to each company's mortgage business and their relative visibility in the mortgage industry.

Decline reason:

While it might indeed prove a reliable source, the fact that you added so many links to it to so many articles so quickly suggests you had greater motives than improving the encyclopedia. — Daniel Case (talk) 06:42, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I found this page List of largest banks in the United States and added the applicable links to members of this list. I had originally added links to banks I was originally researching (based on mortgage loan origination volumes) and got a thank you from user TheTechnician27, so I thought it was okay to add as appropriate when I came across the above list. I'm not paid or affiliated with that site, if that is a relevant consideration, but I don't think there is an easy way to verify that claim.

Decline reason:

You'll need to agree to stop adding links to originationdata.com before an unblock can be considered. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 17:53, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

We don't need the whole url; simply place the title of the target page in double brackets, as I did here. 331dot (talk) 08:30, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Do you understand that a wholesale change to many articles should be discussed first? 331dot (talk) 08:38, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I do now, and will read about how the discussion process works before doing any bulk edits in the future. Vgeek15 (talk) 22:07, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
