Username
Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. However, I noticed that your username (Aiden Grimshaw) may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it is the name of a well-known living person, which cannot be used unless it is your real name, and you either are that well-known person or you make it clear that you are not. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account and use that for editing. Thank you. Anemone Projectors  23:34, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Daughtry discography, please cite a reliable source for the content of your edit. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. Take a look at Citing sources for information about how to cite sources and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Aspects (talk) 05:40, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because your username, Aiden Grimshaw, matches the name of a well-known living individual. Note that the practice of blocking such usernames is to protect you from being impersonated; not to discourage you from editing Wikipedia. You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:
 * Adding on your user talk page. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "E-mail this user" on their talk page.
 * At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
 * Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Changing username.

If you feel that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. HJ Mitchell &#124;  Penny for your thoughts?   02:09, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
