This account, Legalprgirl, has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia, because your username seems to represent a group, not a person.

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.

Please choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines. However, do not create a new account if you wish to credit your existing contributions to a new name through a username change. To request a username change:

  1. Add {{unblock-un|your new username here}} below. You should be able to edit this talk page even though you are blocked. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "E-mail this user" on their talk page.
  2. At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
  3. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a list of names that have already been taken. For more information, please see Wikipedia:Changing username.
If you feel that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. Atama 22:54, 22 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

You are provisionally unblocked to allow for a name change. Please do so before posting again, failure to do so may result in another block. You may request a name change at this location. Please also familiarize yourself with our guidelines concerning conflicts of interest if you wish to participate at any article where you are affiliated with the subject.

A concern has been raised at the conflict of interest noticeboard regarding your edits to the McKenna Long & Aldridge article. You are strongly encouraged to participate in the discussion, and any clarifications you can make in regards to your edits to that article would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. -- Atama 03:56, 23 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

I am requesting a new username to comply with the policy. I am the new PR Manager for McKenna Long & Aldridge:

Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s):

Allowing username change to Legalprgirl (talk · contribs). Please put this request in at Wikipedia:Changing username as soon as possible to avoid re-blocking.

Request handled by: (talk→ BWilkins ←track)

Unblocking administrator: Please check for active autoblocks on this user after accepting the unblock request.

Note: You have been unblocked for the name change, but this does not remove you from the conflict of interest issues. In addition, be careful that you do not use the fact that you are a law office as a threat to have edits go your way. (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 18:19, 23 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

This is very helpful! Thank you for this information. I am still working to get more of the content referenced as I try to add in the correct codes. I'm going to use the Sandbox for more practice. --Legalprgirl (talk) 16:51, 24 February 2010 (UTC)Reply
