Welcome!

Hello, Peresprojects, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Please sign your messages on discussion pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! StephenBuxton (talk) 16:07, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Your username
Sorry to bring this up, as I can see from your edits that you are a genuine editor. However, your username is unfortunately breaking the Username policy, specifically about usernames that match that of companies or groups (you can read that here: WP:USERNAME). May I suggest you re-register under a new username, please? Your name will need to be blocked, but I'll hold off doing it for a bit, to give you a chance to ask any questions before I do so. Please don't take it personally. Thank you. StephenBuxton (talk) 16:07, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

The account with this username has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia, because of concerns that the chosen username may not meet our username policy.


 * This is often not a reflection on the user, and you are encouraged to choose a new account name which does meet our guidelines and are invited to contribute to Wikipedia under an appropriate username. If you feel this block was made in error, you may quickly and easily appeal it - see below.

Our username policy provides guidance on selecting your username. In brief, usernames should not be offensive, disruptive, promotional, related to a 'real-world' group or organization, or misleading. Also, usernames may not end with the string "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account.

If you have already made edits and wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name you may request a change in username. To do so, please follow these directions:
 * Add below. This is possible because even when you are blocked, you can still edit your own talk page.
 * At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
 * Please note, you may only request a name that is not already in use. The account is created upon acceptance – do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change since we can far easier allocate your new name to you, if it is not yet used. Usernames that have already been taken are listed here. For more information, please visit Changing username. Keep in mind, though, that creating a new account is much faster and easier.

Last, the automated software systems that prevent vandalism may have been activated, which can cause new account creation to be blocked also. If you have not acted in a deliberately inappropriate manner, please let us know if this happens, and we will deactivate the block as soon as possible. You may also appeal this username block by adding the text below or emailing the administrator who blocked you. StephenBuxton (talk) 22:15, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
