Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "End Female Genital Mutilation in the Upper West Side", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because your user name gives the impression that multiple editors use this account to edit Wikipedia.. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing this form, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. Exemplo347 (talk) 08:24, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
 * The name also violates username policy by beinga "Disruptive or offensive username": "Usernames that are likely to offend other contributors, making harmonious editing difficult or impossible... Usernames that seem intended to provoke emotional reaction ('trolling'). Usernames that otherwise show a clear intent to disrupt Wikipedia." Beyond My Ken (talk) 10:04, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

Your account has been blocked indefinitely because the chosen username is a clear violation of our username policy – it is obviously profane, threatens, attacks or impersonates another person, or suggests that you do not intend to contribute positively to the encyclopedia (see our blocking and username policies for more information). We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia, but users are not allowed to edit with inappropriate usernames and we do not tolerate 'bad faith' editing such as trolling or other disruptive behavior. If you think there are good reasons why these don't describe your account, or why you should be unblocked, you are welcome to appeal this block – read our guide to appealing blocks to understand more about unblock requests, and then add the text at the end of your user talk page.
