Greetings:
Let it not be said that justice is undone on the whims of one solitary man. The Wikipedia user: HerrGoebbles, has been blocked by Wiki Admin MarkSweep, whose reasons given were dislike of my user name ( because I am German?) maybe due to MarkSweep claiming to be a former US Marine, he considers me to be an enemy. The other reason given was harassment of user TastyCakes, who seems to have a dislike of anyone who disagrees with her views of the destruction of the American Indian tribes during American expansion. The user TastyCakes has used the term "Dumb Ass" as a personal attack and an insult towards me, (maybe because I am German, and not gentically as superior as TastyCakes?) However, I do not wish to discuss this at length, I only wish to be given the opportunity to learn from any mistakes I may have made, and continue to have the ability to simply use Wikipedia's site without any overzealous attempts by Admins to silence me once and for all, with malice.
Thank you for your kind consideration.

Josef Goebbels would fall under the category: "Names which refer to symbols of hatred, including historical figures who are widely associated with such." Even if it's your real name, I recommend you pick another one. Names of famous nazis tend to get blocked on sight precisely because we have this policy.
