User talk:OurBlackYear

February 2020

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.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid, 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 {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} 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

{{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}

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. – Juliancolton | ^Talk 06:13, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

Request reason:

OurBlackYear is NOT the name of an organization or group. I am Maggie Anderson. This Wikipedia page is about me. You categorized me as an "activist" because I took a stand to live off Black businesses for one year. This stand is known as OUR BLACK YEAR. Our Black Year and Maggie Anderson, the activist, are one and the same. My name is so common. So that's why I go by OUR BLACK YEAR. My TED Talk is called OUR BLACK YEAR. But it is not a group or organization. It's just me. My social media handle is OUR BLACK YEAR.
