User talk:Allan Wilson

Your username
Hi. It seems your Wikipedia user name resembles that of Allan Wilson, the Scottish politician. To prevent unfortunate cases where pranksters pretend to be someone famous, our user name policy (at Username) requires that such accounts be blocked (the part where it says "Names of well-known living or recently deceased people"). We do, however, realise that some (regrettably only a very few) of such cases are infact the real person named; to that end, can I ask you to email info-en-q@wikimedia.org (mentioning this discussion at "User talk:Allan Wilson MSP") from your official email address and confirm that you really are Mr Wilson, or that you're editing on his behalf. The people who handle that email list will then be able to unblock this account. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but I hope you'll understand why we need to be careful in this regard. Thanks. --
