 * Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Note that human editors do monitor recent changes to Wikipedia articles, and administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism.
 * Cluebot produces very few false positives, but it does happen. If you believe the change you made should not have been detected as unconstructive, please report it here, remove this warning from your talk page, and then make the edit again.
 * The following is the log entry regarding this warning: Paul A. Winkler was changed by PaulWinkler (u) (t) blanking the page on 2010-07-22T03:04:05+00:00 . Thank you. ClueBot (talk) 03:04, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, PaulWinkler, may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it suggests that you are that individual, if you are you would likely need to somehow prove this. If you're not, please ignore this warning.. 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. Thank you. Pilif12p : Yo  03:05, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because your username, PaulWinkler, matches the name of a well-known living individual. Note that the practice of blocking such usernames is to protect you from being impersonated; not to discourage you from editing Wikipedia. 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. HJ Mitchell &#124;  Penny for your thoughts?   01:01, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
