Hello. I see that you have been blocked from editing Wikipedia but that you are the subject of an article. We take very seriously our responsibility to article subjects. If there are factual errors with your article, you currently have the following options:
  • As long as this page is not locked, you can post proposed amendments here and ask for help from an editor who is not blocked. To do this, click "New section" above, start a section with a title like "article error" and include the following wiki code: {{helpme}}
  • You can contact Wikipedia by email, to get in touch with a system manned by volunteers who are experienced Wikipedians and well versed in our policies. Note, however, that they are only volunteers; Wikipedia has no editorial board. Please read that page carefully for guidance on what our volunteers will and will not do to help you.

Before you do either of the above, please note the following:

  • You should restrict yourself to provable errors of fact. We can help you if you can state:
  • We cannot help you unless you can verify your request by reference to such sources; repeated requests without sources may be seen as vexatious.
  • Legal threats are absolutely forbidden; any communications regarding legal action must be sent by registered mail to the Wikimedia Foundation at its postal address. Any form of legal threat may result in your being prevented from making comments on this, your talk page.
  • Please do not be tempted to grandstand. Wikipedia editors will be pleased to help with factual errors, but differences of opinion or interpretation, flame wars or expressions of general dissatisfaction with Wikipedia, its processes, editors, administrators and so on will be ignored and possibly removed. We are well aware of our faults but we believe that they are best fixed in an atmosphere of calm reflection.
Above all, please remember that this message is intended to help you. We know you are upset and may be angry, and we probably can't fix that right now, but please believe that we are sincerely committed to ensuring that we do not compound this by perpetuating inaccuracies in your article.
