Hello, I'm Melcous. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Ritchie Boys, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Melcous (talk) 20:42, 24 October 2021 (UTC)

 Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because of the following problems: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

You may request a change of username and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization. To do this, first search Special:CentralAuth for available usernames that comply with the username policy. Once you have found an acceptable username, post the text  at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked. In your reasons, you must: Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks, you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text  at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page. Cullen328 (talk) 18:41, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement.
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.


 * It is also ludicrous that the suggestion to change the username to something like "FoobarFan87" is acceptable when "RitchieMuseum" indicates a knowledge of the Ritchie Boys and Fort Ritchie, the username is not something egregious like "BuyCocaCola".

 * This blocking appears to be a random target. The page in question is associated with a military museum and has only added information to wikipedia in relation to Fort Ritchie and the Ritchie Boys, the Ritchie Boys are a group of Jewish War Veterans who have recently been honored by the US Senate, President Biden, and the Holocaust Memorial Museum. The edits are all factual in regards to the Ritchie Boys and the Fort Ritchie Property. Perhaps this block is connected to the recent antisemitism that has been ravaging the United States as the Ritchie Boys are connected to Judaism. I respectfully ask this page be unblocked before legal action is taken. RitchieMuseum (talk) 15:03, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I am the blocking administrator and I am a Jew. Your aspersions are ludicrous. Your username violates policy. Period. End of story. Cullen328 (talk) 19:28, 4 April 2023 (UTC)


 * This whole damn thing is ridiculous. NO LEGAL ACTION IT IS. How do I change the DAMN username?
 * I hold a PhD in History and this is how I'm treated for adding information to wikipedia????? RitchieMuseum (talk) 15:52, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Please place posts below prior posts, for proper flow. 331dot (talk) 16:07, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Dear Wikipedia, please civilly unblock me. I will be a good boy. I just want to add historical information to the site. With Love. RitchieMuseum (talk) 16:41, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

I've fixed your request. Your intial statement needs to replace the words "your reason here" as I've done for you. 331dot (talk) 00:29, 18 February 2023 (UTC)

Unblock this page
Change the name to RinggoldGuy14541. Unless the team thinks that I’m advertising Rings and Gold and imitating Guy Fieri.

It’s asinine that one of 4 scholars of this topic is blocked because of a name violation which hadn’t been an issue for months. RitchieMuseum (talk) 02:38, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
 * If you truly believe that our policies and guidelines are "asinine", then you are perfectly free to contribute to other websites instead. Cullen328 (talk) 19:33, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
 * "your reason here"
 * I am requesting unblocking with a username "RinggoldGuy14541" so that I may continue adding information to areas of my historical expertise. RitchieMuseum (talk) 16:08, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
