*RCFrancis, concerns regarding your inappropriate use of copyrighted materials to create Wikipedia articles have been brought to your attention for ''years'' and yet continue with no response from you whatsoever. As such, I've blocked your account indefinitely in order to protect Wikipedia from further copyright concerns. You can be unblocked as soon as you post an appeal that addresses the copyright concerns and demonstrates an understanding of [[WP:COPYRIGHT]].--[[User:Ponyo|<span style="color: Navy;">Jezebel's '''Ponyo'''</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Ponyo|<span style="color: Navy;">''bons mots''</span>]]</sup> 22:14, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
 
{{unblock|1=Insert your reason to be unblocked here}} I think I understand why I was blocked. I did not copy or paste anything from a copyrighted document. However the text I wrote may have been interpreted as mimicking copyrighted material. From now on I will paraphrase from any document that might be copyrighted. I would love to have another go at Rachel McKibbens' Wikipedia page and see if that stands up to editor review. I am a volunteer at Copper Canyon Press and have been involved in creating Wiki pages for a number of our poets who don't already have a Wiki page. I attempt to be informational rather than promotional about these poets. Thanks for your consideration. Bob Francis
