This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because the username, IvanMisner, 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:

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.
At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a change of name request.
Please note that you may only request a name that is not already 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,. GirthSummit _(blether) 16:24, 20 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies for the earlier message, I selected the wrong option initially. Please understand that the block is purely because we cannot take people at their word when they claim to be a well-known person - a person on the internet could claim to be anyone, which could affect the reputation of the person in question.

Please also understand that, per COI, subjects of articles are discouraged from editing the page against them. It is better practice to make an edit request on the article talk page, disclosing your connection to the subject. Best GirthSummit _(blether) 16:27, 20 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
