User talk:Katy Loves Hamas

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because your username, Katy Loves Hamas, does not meet our username policy. '''Your username is the only reason for this block. 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. 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 on your user talk page. 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 "E-mail 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 feel that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. See also the policy on living persons. CharlieEchoTango (talk) 08:35, 30 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Oh, and having had a look at your (reverted) contributions, I expect you'll need to convince an unblocking admin that you will not use this account in any way to pursue a vendetta against the Katy in question and will not make any edits that conflict with our WP:BLP policy -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 15:28, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

The *only* edits you have made were about someone called Katy and her interaction with Hamas, and they were reverted - and comparing them with your username, I hope you'll understand why we need to be cautious here. Here's another suggestion - how about telling us what you plan to write about if you are unblocked? -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 14:54, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

No, that's not quite accurate. The edits I made were about an organization, J Street, and an incident in which one of its board members, named Kathleen, met with Hamas despite being advised by the organization president not to do so, and the criticism of J Street that this incident drew. All of this was sourced to news outlets such as The Forward, The Washington Jewish Week and Commentary, and to J Street's own web site commenting on the controversy. None of the facts related to Kathleen are in dispute, by her or anyone else. She wrote openly about her meetings with Hamas, in the Forward. What policy does this edit violate?
