Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, GlobusProject, may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it appears to represent an organization. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may file for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account and use that for editing. Thank you. Netalarmhappy holidays! 04:18, 25 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't represent an organization. It means Globus- World, Project- Project, with a literal meaning of world wide project. It is a generic name in the world of Grid Computing. The Globusproject Alliance is an organization, which Dr. Ian Foster, of Argonne National Laboratory is a part of. It would be like calling myself GridCluster and there was an organization called GridCluster Alliance. Two different things. There is also the Globus.org

His own labs, the Distributed Systems Laboratory is the nexus of the multi-institute Globus Project, a research and development effort that encourages collaborative computing by providing advances necessary for engineering, business and other fields. Furthermore the Computation Institute addresses many of the most challenging computational and communications problems facing Grid implementations today.

I would be what is also called a subject matter expert in this field.

More importantly I have been using this moniker since 2001.

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because your username, GlobusProject, does not meet our username policy.

Your username is the only reason for this block. 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. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:

Adding {{unblock-un|your new username here}} on your user talk page. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. 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 listing of already taken names. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Wikipedia:Changing username.

If you feel that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|Your reason here}}, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. -- Cirt (talk) 04:13, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
