 * Sorry, I missed where you said that you have another Wikipedia account already. There's no reason for this account to be unblocked, in that case- in general, Wikipedia editors avoid using more than one account anyway.  If this block is affecting your ability to edit with your primary account, you can request the unblock from that account, making it clear that you aren't planning to link to your own web site in the same way I described above. - — Preceding unsigned comment added by FisherQueen (talk • contribs)


 * A user-edited website like the one you're promoting is not a valid reliable source, not a valid external link (✉→BWilkins←✎) 19:39, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

FisherQueen- Please note that our site (it is not MY site, it is a collaborative effort) is moderated. Before a record can be verified, it must be checked against the references cited. It is a very time consuming process which has made it painfully slow to add records (which is why we only have 50,300 approved records) BUT our records are 99% accurate whereas other sites have a 50-80% accuracy rate.

I am unable to find another account. Apparently the changes I made to my father's wikipedia page were done without an account and the changes only show an IP address.

As for other contributions, I am always willing to contribute bibliographic citations that are numismatic in nature and I own the copyright to over 5,000 photographs of ancient coins (my actual business is as a coin dealer, I do not mention my business on CoinProject at all because it would go against our policies.
