Edits don't vanish
Everything you have added to the Factory Farming article remains in the history. It is not lost forever. It can be retrieved and used if appropriate. I just thought I'd mention that. Clicking on the history tab is very useful. Play around with it to figure it out. It will become clear in a few minutes. If you can't understand it, just ask.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the username you have chosen (Brighter Green) seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group, company or website.

There are two issues with this :
 * 1) It is possible that you have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, you must exercise great caution when editing on topics related to your organization.
 * 2) Your account cannot represent a group of people. You may wish to create a new account with a username that represents only you. Alternatively, you may consider changing your username to avoid giving the impression that your personal account is being used for promotional purposes.

Regardless of whether you change your name or create a new account, you are not exempted from the guideline to avoid editing where you have a conflict of interest. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations.The article in question is Agriculture in Ethiopia. Thank you. Gyrofrog (talk) 18:20, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, your account has been blocked; you are welcome to create a new account with a username that represents only you. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline. If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you. - Dank (push to talk) 19:37, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

Username change request
Hello,

I would like to change my username, since I believe my account was blocked because the username was blocked because it appears to represent a group. I would like to change the current username "Brighter Green" to "Brighter 165". Please let me know what I need to do to proceed. I tried following the steps to change it, but since I am blocked, I couldn't complete the process. Thank you.Brighter Green (talk) 20:11, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
