Your Mail
Greetings. Your mail with some questions concerning your block has been forwarded to me. I hope the following is able to answer your questions:

First of all, this account has been blocked. This has not been done because of any "unwanted" edits, but simply because a username like "Memory-Alpha" might suggest that the person using that name has some sort of authority on this site.

To "change" your username, you can just create a new account, like you did with this one. There will be no further penalty regarding this, and you will be able to instantly edit using that new account. However, please make sure to choose a name that does not contain the phrase "Memory Alpha" in any form.

Last but not least, regarding your question on how to contact other contributors: Each contributor has a "talk page". My talk page, for example, is User talk:Cid Highwind, and can be found by clicking on my signature at the end of every comment I leave. You can use these talk pages to contact other users. Likewise, there's a talk page for every article on this site. These pages can be accessed via one of the tabs at the top of the page, typically called "Talk page" or "Discussion". You can add comments regarding article content there. -- Cid Highwind 11:28, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
