You have been blocked by Adam Bishop (which was extended by myself since he accidently used the default 24 hour block) under suspicion of being the banned user DW (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:DW) on account that you have the same password, use an IP from a similar location, and display exactly the same characteristics of DW and other users believed to be DW, particularly "Angelique".
Angela.
I have no idea what you are talking about. Is it Wikipedia policy to ban someone because an Administrator suspects something? That seems a bit odd. Please provide the IP address for the banned user (is it DW or Angelique?) and I will notify my Internet company. Also, I would assume that my password is probably the same as several hundred others.
Please unban our account. Thank you.
