To request unblocking: IP address: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:131.204.162.162 Blocking admin: Mike Rosoft Block reason: Inappropriate username - name of an organization, link spamming Block originally applied to: Encyclopediaofalabama Block ID number: 1139233 Your account name (if you have one): An explanation of why your block is unfair: --- I realize now that having my username is not acceptable, and I can change it if needed. I was adding content and also external links last fall and kept coming under fire for 'spamming', which I don't think was fair. With the support of several Alabama Wiki groups, I thought this was cleared and I could resume adding additional content to existing articles and also external links to the project I worked for. Please let me know what I need to do in order to start contributing to wikipedia again. -- Thanks.
Thanks so much for the kind words. I am definitely not soured to wikipedia, it's a great format to share and promote information. I created a new user, duboiju, and clearly state in my user page that I worked for the www.EncyclopediaofAlabama.org and am trying to reference it as much as possible. So far I haven't added any ELs, I have only suggested their inclusion on the discussion page, but I don't think this is a very effective approach. I am going to add a few this morning and see what happens. In case I do get blocked, or upset the monitors, how would you suggest I approach getting permission to continue adding EL's? --
