1. Per WP:REALNAME, editors who use the names of specific, identifiable persons are required to post clarifying statements on their userpages. Editing an article about the subject whose name you are editing under raises red flags, amd is likely to require proof of one's identity. Please read that policy at the link I have provided and take whatever actions are necessary to comply with its requirements.

2. The Wikimedia Foundation has established strict requirements for the content of biographies of living persons, which limit both unfavorable and favorable/promotional content. Those requirements are enforced through our biography and sourcing policies, WP:BLP and WP:RS, as well as our neutrality policy, WP:NPOV. Please read those policies at the links I have provided and take whatever actions are necessary to comply with their requirements.

3. If you are in fact, or are editing on behalf of, the article subject whose name you are editing under, you should be aware of Wikipedia's practices regarding conflicts of interest, set out at WP:COI.

4. If you continue to insert material which does not conform to Wikipedia policies and guidelines, your editing privileges here may be limited or suspended, under policies like those concerning "edit warring", WP:3RR. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 22:00, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because the username, Laurel holloman, 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 are welcome to continue to edit under this username, but we ask the following:
 * Please be willing and able to prove your identity to Wikipedia.
 * Please send an e-mail to info-en[[Image:At sign.svg|15px|@]]wikimedia.org. Be aware that the volunteer response team that handles e-mail 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. 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. Yunshui 雲 &zwj; 水  14:07, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
