Aflorini

August 2022

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because the username, Aflorini, 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.

You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our username policy guidelines and create the account yourself. Alternatively, if you wish for your existing contributions to carry over under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:

1. Adding {{unblock-un|your new username here}} below. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "Email this user" from their talk page.
2. At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a change of name request.
3. Your requested new username cannot already be in use. Therefore, please check the list here to see if a name is taken prior to requesting a change of name.

Appeals: If, after reading the guide to appealing blocks you believe you were blocked in error, then you may appeal this block by adding {{unblock|Your reason here}} below this notice.

Request reason:

I was blocked because my name resembles me. I am in fact Ann Florini, username aflorini. Someone created a page about me and I want to update it. If you need proof that I am actually me, you can contact me on either of my two work email addresses, which I'm not allowed to include here but which you can find at New America and at the Thunderbird School of Global Management. I'll be happy to respond on them to confirm my identity. Aflorini (talk) 22:24, 17 June 2023 (UTC)

Decline reason:

The instructions for having your account verified to be your real-world identity are clearly spelled out in the block message above. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 22:33, 17 June 2023 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Verified + Unblock instructions

Thank you for your email. I have verified that you are in fact Ann Florini, and added the appropriate template to your userpage.

Before you were blocked, you engaged in editing about yourself. This is highly discouraged. Before you are unblocked, please take the time to read our conflict of interest guide, and if you wish to change your Wikipedia page, understand that you should follow the instructions here to make an edit request.

Once you have done the above, please add the following to this page :

{{Unblock|reason=My identity has been [[Special:Permalink/1193617783|verified]]. I have read the above, and (PUT IN YOUR OWN WORDS HERE THAT YOU WON'T EDIT YOUR OWN ARTICLE DIRECTLY) ~~~~}}

Best, — Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 19:11, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

I have read the above and I understand that Wikipedia strongly discourages editing about oneself. 73.213.129.123 (talk) 19:51, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
