Conflict of interest

If you are David A. R. White, you have a conflict of interest and should not edit your own biography here at Wikipedia. (See also WP:AUTO.) If you are not David A. R. White, then your username is highly problematic (see WP:IMPERSONATE). WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 20:43, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because the username, David White A.R., matches the name of a well-known, living person.

If you are the person represented by this username, please note that the practice of blocking such usernames is to protect you from being impersonated, not to discourage you from editing Wikipedia. You may choose to edit under a new username (see information below), but keep in mind that you are welcome to continue to edit under this username.

If you choose to keep your current username, please send an email to info-enwikimedia.org including your real name and your Wikipedia username to receive instructions from our volunteer response team about account verification. Please do not send documentation without being requested to do so.

If you are not the person represented by this username, you are welcome to choose a new username (see below).

A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive, or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account.

You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines and create the account yourself. Alternatively, if you wish for your existing contributions to carry over under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:

1. Adding {{unblock-un|your new username here}} below. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "Email this user" from their talk page.
2. At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a change of name request.
3. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use. Therefore, please check the list here to see if a name is taken prior to requesting a change of name.

Appeals: If, after reading the guide to appealing blocks you believe you were blocked in error, then you may appeal this block by adding {{unblock|Your reason here}} below this notice,. Alexf^(talk) 20:56, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

I have unblocked you per the above ticket. I strongly recommend, though, that you take note of WikiDan's message from May about not editing the page about yourself (please request edits on the talk page instead). GeneralNotability (talk) 16:06, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Paisarepa. I noticed that you recently removed content from David A. R. White without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.
