Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. However, I noticed that your username (MackinacParks) may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because someone could confuse you as editing on behalf of the Mackinac Island State Park Commission, even if you are editing based on your own interests.. 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, or you may simply create a new account to use for editing. Thank you.  Imzadi 1979  →   19:32, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; you are welcome to create a new account with a username that represents only you. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline. If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you. PanydThe muffin is not subtle 16:31, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
