User talk:Macmurray

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, Macmurray, may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it may give the impression of being a role account for MacMurray College. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may file for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account and use that for editing. Also, please note that claims such as "chronic declining enrollment" or other interpretations should be supported by citations of reliable sources rather than interpreted by the person adding the material to Wikipedia. A welcome message below has more tips for you. Thanks for your interest! --Closeapple (talk) 14:22, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because your username, Macmurray, 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. -- Cirt (talk) 00:11, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
