Your account has been blocked indefinitely because the chosen username is a clear violation of our username policy – it is obviously profane; threatens, attacks or impersonates another person; or suggests that you do not intend to contribute positively to the encyclopedia (see our blocking and username policies for more information).

We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia, but users are not allowed to edit with inappropriate usernames and we do not tolerate 'bad faith' editing such as trolling or other disruptive behavior. If you think there are good reasons why these don't describe your account, or why you should be unblocked, you are welcome to appeal this block – read our guide to appealing blocks to understand more about unblock requests, and then add the text {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the end of your user talk page.

Requested username:

Request reason:

I made the mistake of not reading the username policy. After carefully reading the username policy, I know understand what usernames are acceptable on the English Wikipedia. I do you understand that what I did was inappropriate for this site, and confirm that I won't do it again. I have chosen as my new username: Lumeigpo. I would very much appreciate the opportunity to be able to contribute to Wikipedia. Thank you for your help

Accept reason:

Allowing username change to requested username. Please put this request in at Wikipedia:Changing username as soon as possible to avoid re-blocking. PhilKnight (talk) 21:01, 8 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If you need further help, you can:

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:
  Fight vandalism
  Be a WikiFairy or a WikiGnome
  Help contribute to articles
           
  Perform maintenance tasks
  Become a member of a project that interests you

Remember to always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to this (your talk) page, and a timestamp.

The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!
To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own private sandbox for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.

Hello, Lumeigpo. I wanted to let you know that I have made some edits to User:Lumeigpo/sandbox/Ignacio Barsottelli, since you asked for help at the Teahouse. Specifically, I removed some peacock terms and promotional language. I hope it's clear to you how the new phrasing is more neutral, simply reporting facts about Barsottelli and his organizations without praising them.

I also made some formatting changes. One to note is that in reference citations, authors are listed as Lastname, Firstname rather than Firstname Lastname. Another is that when a reference's title is given in ALL CAPS, it is generally preferred to change it to Title Case in the citation.

There are now a number of messages like [citation needed] in the article to guide you in what further changes are needed. The YLA website is marked as an unreliable source because it is a primary source — as much as possible of the information in a Wikipedia article should be cited to references that are secondary sources like books or newspaper articles.

I also left you a couple of notes that will only show up when you are editing the page; they are enclosed in HTML comments like so:
<!--This is an example of an HTML comment.-->

Note that I only edited up through the section Activism and career: Early years. I may come back and help edit more of the article if I can find the time, but you should try to address the issues I have raised in the whole of the article, not just the sections I edited directly. Thank you for joining Wikipedia, and good luck with your first article. Feel free to ask for further assistance at the Teahouse. —GrammarFascist contribstalk 08:53, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
