I understand now that I should not have advertised to an outside website and I can say it wont happen again. I would like to start a new user page and add to or watch over local history pages

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. Daniel Case (talk) 19:09, 30 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good as long as you accept the following: Here are a few key questions:

Do you understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a business directory?
Do you understand conflict of interest?
Do you understand that to be considered for an encyclopedia article, the subject must be notable?

You are currently blocked because your username appears directly related to a company, group or product that you have been promoting, contrary to the username policy. Changing the username will not allow you to violate the 3 important principles above. Daniel Case (talk) 17:32, 30 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I now fully understand the rules for Wikipedia

Your attention needed at WP:CHU
