User talk:Brookekroeger

Welcome!
Hello, Brookekroeger, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions, especially your edits to Men's League for Women's Suffrage. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few links to pages you might find helpful:


 * Introduction and Getting started
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article
 * Simplified Manual of Style

You may also want to complete the Wikipedia Adventure, an interactive tour that will help you learn the basics of editing Wikipedia. You can visit the Teahouse to ask questions or seek help.

Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or, and a volunteer should respond shortly. Again, welcome! Binod Basnet  (talk)  09:57, 12 December 2018 (UTC)

There have been two problems with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group or a web site, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In that reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Alexf(talk) 10:56, 12 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Hi. I'm just seeing this perplexing news. Brooke Kroeger is my name, not a company or advertising vehicle. I am an author and professor, cited in several Wikipedia articles. If I did something inappropriate, I promise you it was inadvertent. I'm not sure what I would be advertising, nor why I've been blocked. Here is my website: brookekroeger.com and my professor emerita page at NYU journalism.nyu.edu/faculty/brooke-kroeger. I'm not sure why my name is a problem, but if I need a new user account name, how about brookewkroeger ? Or please tell me what it should be if not my name. Again, I am sorry if I committed an infraction. I promise you it was not with ill intent by Wikipedia standards. Brookekroeger (talk) 11:19, 6 November 2022 (UTC)
