unblock| My user name, which was blocked for being "either inappropriate or too similar to an existing username" is a reference to a TV show called Freaks and Geeks. More specifically, my user name is from a fictional Dungeons and Dragons character. I emailed the administrator who blocked me two days ago and have not heard back yet.

Unfortunately, the admin who blocked you thinks "Dwarf" is a potentially offensive word. Try to contact some other admin. Canderous Ordo 17:22, 17 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

In the interest of assuming good faith, I will contact the blocking administrator that so he may respond to this request. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 18:56, 17 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
Thanks, you two. If it is really problematic, I will change it. I just want to reference my favorite TV show in the whole world is all. CarlosTheDwarf 01:41, 18 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
I've unblocked you. Several administrators were questioning this block already, and I feel "dwarf" is not offensive to the degree that we need to ban it from usernames. Mangojuicetalk 17:04, 19 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
Thank you so much! I appreciate it. Oh and sorry if I sound dumb, but when does the block expire? Thanks again. CarlosTheDwarf 18:32, 19 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
Ah, never mind. I can edit my user page now. Thanks again! CarlosTheDwarf 20:34, 19 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
