Hi there,
After looking into your account, I found that you purchased a domain mapping: arcticcycle.org. Please note that a domain mapping means that you are just hosting with us, but we are not actually your registrar. After doing a quick search I found that you registered the domain with GoDaddy as seen here:
http://who.wildwestdomains.com/whoisstd.aspx?domain=arcticcycle.org&prog_id=wildwestdomains
What you can do is contact GoDaddy to update your nameservers to point else where.
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

Actually, I’m inquiring about mapping and 3rd party nameservers on my other account: myersbowman.wordpress.com. Here’s the link to the help document to which I’m referring.

HI there,
Yes you can create an A-record and point to our IP addresses. But, please note that we don’t have a single IP address for your site since we have your site on a number of geographically-diverse servers to improve speed and uptime.
Since we change out the IPs we use based on when different datacenters/server go online, we don’t suggest using IP addresses.
Our suggested route is to map your domain (by adding it via the Store > My Domains page on your site’s dashboard), add the MX records currently on your site to our Store > My Domains > Edit DNS, then changing your nameservers to WordPress.com.
However, if you still want to go ahead and map your domain using A records, please let me know and I’d be happy to give them to you.
