Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Diocese of Pennsylvania", may not meet Wikipedia's

it implies shared use. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why.

It's also that of an organization, which is not permitted. If you represent the Diocese, you can have a name in the format of "YourName at Diocese of PA" or something similar. You can transfer your edit history to a new name by following the instructions above. You should also review the
paid editing policy. 331dot (talk) 15:56, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply

Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia with this username. This is because your username, Diocese of Pennsylvania, does not meet our
username policy.

Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below) and continue editing.

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}} on your user talk page. 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 "E-mail 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 below this notice the text {{unblock|Your reason here}}, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:15, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
