[edit]Names should not be offensive, disruptive, promotional, misleading, or related to a "real-world" group or organization. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account.
Please choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines. However, do not create a new account if you wish to credit your existing contributions to a new name through a username change. To request a username change:
- Add
{{unblock-un|your new username here}}
below. You should be able to edit this talk page even though you are blocked. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "E-mail this user" on their talk page. - At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
- Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a list of names that have already been taken. For more information, please see Wikipedia:Changing username.
- Add
{{unblock|Your reason here}}
below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. Evil saltine (talk) 05:37, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
{{unblock|robotarmy|I have used this name for many years on Wikipedia and it only recently came to my attention that my nick was noncompliant. I'd be happy to change it; I don't want to create a new account. I have offered a different name below. I apologize again for my lack of protocol.}
{{unblock-un|betterbrigade|If robotarmy is unacceptable as a name, I would like to change to this. I apologize again for my lack of protocol.}

[edit]Please do not delete content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to New Village Academy, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.

I apologize for this as well. I studied the Wikipedia NPOV pages and editorial advices and carefully considered my edits, but I did not put enough rationale and did not realize this was as sensitive an area as it has turned out to be. I usually edit benign non controversial topics.
Please do not add content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did to World Literacy Crusade. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Cirt (talk) 05:23, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
Sorry about that! I added a sentence that was sourced from the website of the article itself, and I should have put a reference to that in my addition.
