{{subst:uw-ublock-famous\|time=duration \|reason=reason \|page=Targeted page}}	This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because the username 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 keep your current username, please send an email to info-enwikimedia.org including your real name and your Wikipedia username to receive instructions from our volunteer response team about account verification. Please do not send documentation without being requested to do so. 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. *Please take a moment to either create a new account, or request a username change to this account.* To create a new account with a different username, simply log out of this account and then click here to make a new one. If you prefer to change the username of this account, you may do so by adding the following text to the bottom of your user talk page (this page): `{{unblock-un\|new username\|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}`. Important items to note: The new username that you choose must comply with Wikipedia's username policy. The new username you choose cannot already be taken and used by another account. You can search here to see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns, "There is no global account for [username]", that means it is available. Appeals: If your username is not in violation of Wikipedia's username policy, and if you believe that this block was incorrect or made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the following text to the bottom of your user talk page (this page): `{{unblock\|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}`. Thank you.
{{subst:uw-softerblock}}	Welcome to Wikipedia. Your account has been blocked from editing because your username gives the impression that the account represents a group, team, club, organization, company, product, department, or website. Your username is the principal reason for the block. You are welcome to continue editing after you have chosen a new username that complies with Wikipedia's username policy. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable, regardless of the username that you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid or compensated in any way, you must disclose who is paying you to edit here. You may also read our FAQ for article subjects. *Please take a moment to either create a new account, or request a username change to this account.* *To create a new account* with a different username*, simply log out of this account and then click here to make a new one. If you prefer to change* the username of this account, you may do so by adding the following text to the bottom of your user talk page (this page): `{{unblock-un\|new username\|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}`. Important items to note: The new username that you choose must represent you as an individual person, and it must comply with Wikipedia's username policy. You are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it also identifies you individually. Examples include: "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company". The new username you choose cannot already be taken and used by another account. You can search here to see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns, "There is no global account for [username]", that means it is available. Appeals: If your username does not represent a group, organization, department, website, or other entity described above, and if you believe that this block was incorrect or made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the following text to the bottom of your user talk page (this page): `{{unblock\|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}`. Thank you.
{{subst:uw-vblock\|time=duration \|reason=reason}}	You are using this template in the wrong namespace. Use this template on a user talk page instead.
{{subst:arbcom\|1=duration \|2=restriction violated}}	To enforce an arbitration decision, you have been blocked temporarily from editing Wikipedia. You are welcome to edit once the block expires; however, please note that the repetition of similar behavior may result in a longer block or other sanctions. If you believe this block is unjustified, please read the guide to appealing blocks (specifically this section) before appealing. Place the following on your talk page: `{{unblock\|reason=Please copy my appeal to the [[WP:AE\|arbitration enforcement noticeboard]] or [[WP:AN\|administrators' noticeboard]]. Your reason here OR place the reason below this template. ~~~~}}`. If you intend to appeal on the arbitration enforcement noticeboard, I suggest you use the arbitration enforcement appeals template on your talk page so it can be copied over easily. You may also appeal directly to me (by email), before or instead of appealing on your talk page. Reminder to administrators: In May 2014, ArbCom adopted the following procedure instructing administrators regarding Arbitration Enforcement blocks: "No administrator may modify a sanction placed by another administrator without: (1) the explicit prior affirmative consent of the enforcing administrator; or (2) prior affirmative agreement for the modification at (a) AE or (b) AN or (c) ARCA (see "Important notes"). Administrators modifying sanctions out of process may at the discretion of the committee be desysopped."

However, you are still able to edit if you sign in with an account. If you are currently blocked from creating an account, and cannot create one elsewhere in the foreseeable future, you may follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Request an account to request that volunteers create your username for you. Please use an email address issued to you by your ISP, school or organization so that we may verify that you are a legitimate user on this network. Please reference this block in the comment section of the form. Please check on this list that the username you choose has not already been taken. We apologize for any inconvenience.
{{schoolblock}}	To edit, please create an account at home and log in with it here.

You will continue to have access to read the encyclopedia. If you are logged in but still unable to edit, please follow these instructions. To prevent abuse, account creation via this IP address might also be disabled. If account creation is disabled and you are unable to create an account elsewhere, you can request one by following the instructions at Wikipedia:Request an account. Please check on this list that the username you choose has not already been taken. If editing is required for class projects, please have your instructor or network administrator contact us (with reference to this IP address) at the Unblock Ticket Request System with a contact email address that is listed on your school's website. Thank you for your cooperation.
