Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "TheMichiganGroup", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it's a Group/Company name, also implies shared use. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. Mlpearc ( open channel ) 20:25, 1 February 2014 (UTC)


 * There is no company or group named "TheMichiganGroup." It is simply a username chosen to reflect my interest in Michigan issues. TheMichiganGroup (talk) 20:37, 1 February 2014 (UTC)


 * TheMichiganGroup has addressed me multiple times as "We", and has disclosed my postal address in an effort to intimidate. Edward Vielmetti (talk) 20:40, 1 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Edward Vielmetti is attempting to extract revenge for pointing out that he has a conflict of interest. Postal address was not disclosed, only city which is readily acknowledged by Vielmetti (in any case postal address in now a matter of public record when Vielmetti took money from a political campaign committee). Vielmetti is unethical, accepting money to edit articles. He should be banned. TheMichiganGroup (talk) 22:07, 1 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Creating a link between a username and a real world identity is unacceptable, and a policy violation. In this context, I've removed the instances of outing. PhilKnight (talk) 22:50, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that 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. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. 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 below this notice. Thank you.  Admr Boltz  16:10, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
