767:|I would like to request to be unblocked and to change my user name to DonnaKP. I understand that I was blocked due to a name that did not comply with the Knowledge (XXG) policy. I was overwhelmed at the start of this process in trying to understand how the Wiki world worked and as important as it was, the rule slipped by me. My intent on writing the Firstmark Credit Union article was only to tell the history of the credit union in a neutral, factual way. It was NEVER intended to be a promotional piece for the credit union. I understand that it needs to be referenced-based, not strictly first or second person information. This was my first article and I made some mistakes. I hope that you all will allow me the chance to begin anew. If it's an option, I am willing to place my writing into a sandbox to be reviewed by other editors before making the page live – whatever it takes. Thank you.Firstmark Credit Union 17:39, 1 September 2009 (UTC)}}
