Your username
editHi. I see that you're new here, so perhaps you don't know that your username is probably inappropriate. See Wikipedia:Username#Inappropriate_usernames for more information. I'd suggest that you pick a different one and request a change. Good luck, and welcome to Wikipedia! William Pietri 08:55, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
- I'm actually Larry Flynt, owner of Larry Flynt Publications and creator of Hustler. How are you today? --LarryFlynt 10:33, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
- Have it your way. William Pietri 10:39, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, your username will likely be disabled soon because there are so many people who would impersonate someone as well-known as yourself though. You'll just need to email unblock-en-l@wikipedia.org so an admin can verify your identity and unblock you. ShadowHalo 10:43, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
- How will I have to prove that I'm me? What am I supposed to send them? --LarryFlynt 10:56, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
- I'm not sure since I've never been in your situation. I suppose the only way to know would be to email them so they can give you instructions. ShadowHalo 11:09, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi. You seem to be on the verge of violating the three-revert rule on Hotbox. Please don't edit war. Thanks, William Pietri 09:43, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
RFC discussion of your username (LarryFlynt)
editHello, LarryFlynt, and thank you for contributing to Wikipedia! Wikipedia has a policy on what usernames editors can use. Unfortunately, concerns have been raised that your username may be incompatible with that policy. You can contribute to the discussion about it here. Alternatively, if you agree that your username may be problematic and are willing to change it, it is possible for you to keep your present contributions history under a new name. Simply request a new name here following the guidelines on that page, rather than creating a whole new account. Thank you. -- William Pietri 10:39, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
Blocked
editYour username has been blocked. In the off chance that you really are the real Larry Flynt, please email unblock-en-l@wikipedia.org with your request to have your block removed. An acceptable means of identification would be to demonstrate that you can send and receive email from a Larry Flynt-owned domain, that you can modify a webpage on a Larry Flynt-owned website, etc.
In any event, you have been "soft blocked", so you can create a new account. Please understand, though, that personal threats [1] are unacceptable and your account can be blocked if you persist in them. Thank you. --BigDT 12:53, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
