{{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here A. Rae at British Palestine Police Association (talk) 10:39, 1 December 2017 (UTC)}I am an individual and this is my first time with a wikipedia account. I tried to add a comment to the External Links section of the Palestine Police Force page in relation to 'Palestine Police Old Comrades Association' (PPOCA), that association closed in 2014 and I am a member of its successor the 'British Palestine Police Association' (BPPA). There is a problem with the PPOCA website link as its administrator and other named contacts have died and the website is obsolete. I did not try to delete the link but to explain the situation and add a link to the BPPA website. These updates were made but disappeared when my username was blocked. Without logging in I have now simply added the BPPA web link without comment, although i think it would be helpful to add a comment to the PPOCA link that it is obsolete or to simply delete it as the information it contains is out of date. Please advise on whether I can have this username back or not and what action can be taken regarding the obsolete link?A.
