Hi, i noticed your edits at St. Paul's Cathedral (Buffalo, New York), where i must have edited in the past myself. Thanks for adding material, and I appreciate you included a source reference. Hey, it's really hard for most people to get started in Wikipedia, and the biggest hurdle in my view is that new editors don't get that their info needs to be sourced. So you are way ahead of the game, congratulations! By the way i edit mostly on historic sites, including churches, listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.

Just to warn you, though, your chosen username is probably not in compliance with Wikipedia's policy for usernames, because it suggests the account is for an organization's usage rather than being an individual person's account. There is policy info at Username policy, including I think instructions on how to request a change in your username. cheers, -- do ncr  am  19:46, 8 June 2017 (UTC)

Your username and promotional editing
Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw that you edited or created St. Paul's Cathedral (Buffalo, New York), and I noticed that your username, "Spcbuffalo", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Foobar Museum of Art". However, you are invited to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you personally, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87".

Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people, and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, or website, regardless of your username. Moreover, I recommend that you read our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please create a new account or request a change of username, by completing this form, choosing a username that complies with our username policy. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. Melcous (talk) 07:35, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. Thank you. Alexf(talk) 14:26, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
