This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because the username, KathyTaylorTulsa, 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 ~~~~}}.

I know this seems harsh and for that I apologize, I don't like blocking people who came to the help desk to ask a question in good faith, but as you can see from the above notice, this is done to protect you from being impersonated and there is a fairly painless mechanism to have the block lifted.

Hey there, that makes sense. Thank you for the explanation. KathyTaylorTulsa (talk) 22:55, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

Hey, Kathy. Just making sure you saw the instructions for what you originally came here for, which was to provide a photograph. The instructions are at Wikipedia:Help_desk#Updated_Photo_Help. Valereee (talk) 18:12, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
