User talk:Iandcoburn

April 2019
This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because the username, Iandcoburn, matches the name of a well-known, living person.

If you are the person represented by this username, please note that the practice of blocking such usernames is to protect you from being impersonated, not to discourage you from editing Wikipedia. You may choose to edit under a new username (see information below), but keep in mind that you are welcome to continue to edit under this username. If you choose to do so, we ask the following:
 * Please be willing and able to prove your identity to Wikipedia.
 * Please send an email to info-en[[Image:At sign.svg|15px|@]]wikimedia.org. Be aware that the volunteer response team that handles email is indeed operated entirely by volunteers, and the reply may not be immediate.

If you are not the person represented by this username, you are welcome to choose a new username (see below).

A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive, or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account.

You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines and create the account yourself. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:
 * Adding below. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "Email this user" on their talk page.
 * At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
 * Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Changing username.

If you think that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. Beeblebrox (talk) 21:30, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

Let me add that while I understand your frustration at what you see as an inaccurate article, Wikipedia only reflects what has already been reported in reliable sources. It is not social media or a place for you to write about yourself or raise awareness of your activities. If reliable sources are writing about your current activities then those sources can be used to update the article, but content cannot be based on your own thoughts and observations.

 * Also, being the subject of a Wikipedia article grants you no right of ownership or editorial control over its content. It is an article about you, but it is not your article. Anyone can edit an article at any time, and we assume good faith of editors unless there is clear evidence to the contrary. If edits are reliably sourced and neutrally worded, they will stand; if not, they will be undone. Please see WP:AUTOPROB for properly dealing with what you believe are problems in the article about you. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 03:00, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
