Hi Beloved Freak
thanks for your advice re teh copy for Girl Geeks. I am quite involved in the Girl Geek Dinner group as I run some GG projects in Scotland. Rather than pretend I am someone else I would prefer to openly state my interest. I hope that over the next few weeks others will begin to contribute to the copy on these pages - I note that someone already has!!
I have made some changes to the copy - which I hope has given it a more neutral tone and will identify it as notable. Please let me know if this is adequate. If further changes are required can you please give us some indication of what you might expect?
Many thanks morna/

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:
{{
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.{{
unblock|Your reason here}}
, but you should read our
guide to appealing blocks first. --
