May 2019
Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username. It also appears that your account is intended to be used for the purpose of telling the world about an organization, person or cause that you consider worthwhile. Unfortunately, many good causes are not sufficiently notable for their own Wikipedia article, and all users are discouraged from editing in any area where they have an inherent conflict of interest. You may wish to consider one of these alternative outlets. Additionally, If you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you to edit. If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. 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. Thank you. NJA  &#124; talk  20:17, 15 May 2019 (UTC)


 * I'd like to ask you to choose another user name and put in for an unblock. We need subject matter experts. Heck, we need people who can access back issues of The Advocate; I can't use that obituary because Google Books only has snippets. Please? Yngvadottir (talk) 19:28, 16 May 2019 (UTC)


 * We just started a new account. We don't intend to be on Wikipedia very much, however, as we've had experiences like this before: admins are more concerned about process than subject matter, so we get blocked for unintended missteps that serve to protect the egos and power trips of those who know "the rules" as opposed to serving the ultimate (or at least ostensible) goal of Wikipedia: easily accessible, well-referenced information. It wouldn't surprise us if we get blocked for this comment. We've dared to besmirch THE process. Mlrqueerhistory (talk) 19:39, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
 * That’s fine and that’s all you needed to do. I know we can be a PITA here. I assure you I did not love blocking the initial name. Certainly no power trip. Blocking is boring, but the username policy is clear on the point, which is why you were blocked. Happy editing! NJA  &#124; talk  20:09, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
