User talk:Locdao

Welcome!

Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on. Again, welcome!--Mishae (talk) 22:17, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because the username, Locdao, 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 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 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. Qwyrxian (talk) 23:33, 1 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi Loc Dao, I just want to say two additional things. First, let me reiterate that this block is not intended to harm you or permanently prevent you from editing Wikipedia; we just need to make sure that people don't pretend to be famous people and then damage the famous person's image by acting poorly in that person's name. So please feel free to make a username change request as explained above.
 * However, after you are unblocked and had your name changed, please note that you should generally not edit pages directly related to yourself or your employer. Per our guideline on editing with a conflict of interest, we find that people are usually unable to edit neutrally on such subjects. For example, the edit of yours that I just reverted on Loc Dao contained a lot of non-neutral language, like you would write on a resume or self-promotional website. What we recommend is that instead people with a conflict of interest make suggestions for changes on article talk pages, and allow other editors to evaluate what can/should be included in the article.
