Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia with this username. This is because your username, DoD Hub, does not meet our username policy. '''Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below) and continue editing.''' A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account. You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines and create the account yourself. 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 "Email 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 think that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text on your user talk page, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 15:04, 13 August 2017 (UTC)


 * The chosen username is too similar to an existing username: MilitaryHistory. You may choose again by modifying the template, above. Just Chilling (talk) 21:27, 13 August 2017 (UTC)

My apologies, I was in a hurry and didn't explain earlier. The problem with your current username, and with DoD History, is that it makes it appear as if the account is associated with the DoD. Accounts must not represent an organization, business, government agency, etc., so you'll need to pick something else. Thanks ​—DoRD (talk)​ 12:01, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your user subpage at User:American Military History/Navy/09 06 may not meet Wikipedia's user page guideline. If you believe that your user page does not violate our guideline, please leave a note on this page. Alternatively you may add  to the top of the page in question and an administrator will delete it, or you can simply edit the page so that it meets Wikipedia's user page guideline. "I see that there are a large number of these pages, one for every day of the year? In any case, this seems at first glance like a violation of the WP:NOTWEBHOST policy. If these pages are intended to be a general contribution to Wikimedia Foundation, they should probably be moved to a more appropriate place."  &mdash; jmcgnh  (talk)  (contribs)  11:16, 8 September 2017 (UTC)


 * The purpose of the subpage is explained on its parent page. "Sub-pages contain notable events in US Armed Forces history, categorized by day, to aid in highlighting articles for reading, development, and creation.". American Military History (talk) 17:33, 9 September 2017 (UTC)


 * I saw that, but it only explains your purpose and not how these pages are intended to further WP's purposes. It still looks to me like a violation of WP:NOTWEBHOST.  &mdash; jmcgnh  (talk) (contribs)  06:44, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
