You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week for abusing multiple accounts, as you did at Ditylenchus dipsaci. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

I'm doing a group project for my plant pathology class and creating a new page for this parasite! Why are you blocking me? We have obviously updated this page and following guidelines. Unblock me.}}


 * Can you please clarify the following? Are you saying that the three accounts actually belong to different people? If so, all using usernames based on "Sarah Nicole Taylor" is highly misleading, as it gives the impression that you are all the same person. If Sarah Nicole Taylor is a real person and you are someone else, then you must not continue to edit using that name, as it infringes Wikipedia's WP:User name policy, which says "Do not edit under a name that is likely to imply that you are ... a specific, identifiable person, unless it is your real name." Even if the name "Sarah Nicole Taylor" is fictitious, the usernames fall foul of that policy, because usernames that are very similar to existing ones are unacceptable because of the risk of being misleading. If you are three different people, then make that fact clear, and suggest a new username that you are willing to use. You may then be unblocked to allow you to submit a request to have your username changed. JamesBWatson (talk) 11:57, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
