Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Unfortunately, the username for this account does not meet our current policies. But don't get discouraged. We encourage you get a new account and edit away!
We look forward to having you contribute under a new name.
Account names are not permitted to edit if the username may be rude or inflammatory, be unnecessarily long or confusing, be too similar to an existing user, contain the name of an organization or website, refer to a Wikipedia or Wikimedia Foundation process or namespace, or be otherwise inappropriate (see our blocking and username policies for more information). Please see our username policy to guide you in selecting your new username.
Alternately, you may request a change in username if you want to keep the contributions from this account. To do so, please follow these directions here. In many cases (especially if your account has few or no edits), it is much easier to create a new account. You may also edit Wikipedia without creating an account.
If you believe this block is unjustified, please follow the directions here to contest the block.
