Important
You'll note that this account has been blocked. Please realize that this is not because of any misbehavior or inappropriate action on your part; your article on the Naramata is decent (although it could use some improvement).

The reason for the block is that the userpage states that this account is used by "a small museum in Penticton". That's not allowed; any given account is only to be used to represent one single person. Even if the account is only being used by one single person, the account cannot represent more than one person: it's the difference between "I work for the museum" and "I am the museum". If one day you and the museum should part ways for whatever reason, the account would continue to belong to you, rather than being passed on to your successor.

You are perfectly welcome to continue editing Wikipedia, as is everyone involved with the museum (assuming that they have not been blocked for individual reasons, of course). You can create a new account which more clearly is only being used by one person, or you can post a request on the noticeboard to have your username changed. The first choice is quicker, but means that this account's contributions will no longer be attributed to you; if you take the second choice, you will first have to post on your talk page right here (along with an explanation - "I need to be unblocked so I can request a new name"), and then wait maybe a day or so until the namechange request is implemented.

I regret the inconvenience, and apologize for any hurt feelings this may have caused. DS (talk) 14:09, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
