User talk:Edawncoughman

June 2017

Hello, I'm Crash Underride. I noticed that you recently removed content from Edawn Coughman 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 the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Also, if you are Edawn Coughman, you MUST declare it as a WP:COI. If you are Mr. Coughman, you are prohibited from editing the article about yourself. ^{(talk page stalker)} CrashUnderride 05:58, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

Edawn Coughman

There were a few issues with your recent edits.

• If you are Coughman, you should ideally not be editing your own article (see WP:COI). You can suggest changes on the article's talk page while disclosing your conflict of interest. You may also need to contact the Volunteer Response Team (WP:VRT) to confirm your identity.
• No editor can own (see WP:OWN) Wikipedia articles.
• In case you are not Coughman, your account may be blocked for impersonation (see WP:Blocking policy).

Thanks, —PaleoNeonate - 06:18, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

@PaleoNeonate: thanks for listing the other reasons, I couldn't remember them all when I left the caution above. ^{(talk page stalker)} CrashUnderride 06:26, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

This being said, your edit followed our policies so I've deleted the material again. I am, however, going to block this account until you can prove you are indeed Edawn Coughman. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 06:28, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because the username, Edawncoughman, 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 do so, we ask the following:

1. Please be willing and able to prove your identity to Wikipedia.
2. Please send an email to info-enwikimedia.org. Be aware that the volunteer response team that handles email is indeed operated entirely by volunteers, and the reply may not be immediate.

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 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:

1. 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 "Email this user" on their talk page.
2. At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
3. 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 think that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} on your user talk page, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. NeilN ^{talk to me} 06:28, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
