Why not create a user page?

Hi new editor,

First I must say welcome.

Your user page has a name like this: User:Example. Its normal use is to give basic information, if you wish, about yourself or your Wikimedia-related activities. Although it helps other users know more about you, you don't have to say anything about yourself. You may wish to create a user page on Meta so that it will display on all Wikimedia projects where you have not created a local user page. You may click my name to see what is obtainable.

I'm a 21 year old human. You could drop me a message on my talk page or Wiki mail me for any questions or issues around Wikipedia. I could adopt you. You may also get help from the rich resources here and here as well.

Your account name

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because the username, Davidcay, 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 do so, we ask the following:

1. Please be willing and able to prove your identity to Wikipedia.
2. Please send an email to info-enwikimedia.org. Be aware that the volunteer response team that handles email is indeed operated entirely by volunteers, and the reply may not be immediate.

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 policy guidelines and create the account yourself. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:

1. Adding {{unblock-un|your new username here}} below. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "Email this user" on their talk page.
2. At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
3. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Wikipedia:Changing username.

If you think that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below this notice, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first.

Hello David Cay Johnston‎. If this is really you, thank you, thank you, thank you. From DemocracyNow! to even CSPAN, I watch and read you plenty.

Now, about your username. I am so sorry about the block. Please do not be upset. It is for your protection. We both would not want an imposter representing you. Please follow the instructions in the brown block notice above.

Again, I am terribly sorry, and thank you so much for your kind understanding. If there is anything you ever need or have any questions, please ask. Thank you, and happy editing. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:07, 22 June 2018 (UTC)
