Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below).
A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive, or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account.
Please choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines. However, do not create a new account if you wish to credit your existing contributions to a new name through a username change. To request a username change:
- Add
{{unblock-un|your new username here}}below. You should be able to edit this talk page even though you are blocked. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "E-mail this user" on their talk page. - At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
- Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a list of names that have already been taken. For more information, please see Wikipedia:Changing username.
- Add
{{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. - 2/0 (cont.) 18:55, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

Request reason:
My username doesn't clearly fall within any of the policy restrictions. My username isn't a proper noun like watergate, either. There's nothing official about it. And I've never edited anything related to climate. If people can have the word "evil" in their username, I see no reason why I can't have this one. Either way, it shouldn't have been unilaterally blocked as it was. It should have been opened for comment. Other people have names that are climate related and even contain components like "green" something or other to denote it. Why do I get the impression that had I named myself "go-green", "carbon-free" or "capandtrade" or some such thing that I wouldn't have been banned. Thanks.
Decline reason:
Accounts that give the impression of being politically biased are blocked on-sight. See WP:Neutral point of view and please request a name change with {{unblock-un|<new name here>}}. —Jeremy (v^_^v Dittobori) 21:52, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Request reason:
There is nothing political about my username. It's a term of art applied by journalists and ordinary people in blogs about something non-political in nature, namely the revelation of emails by scientists, not politicians, and it doesn't denote a proper noun. And as a side note, despite the fact that my username is NOT political, if you people delete anything "political" on the spot, I see no justification for that in the policy anywhere. If someone had a problem with my username it should have been opened for comment.
Decline reason:
No reason to unblock. Username is disruptive. Toddst1 (talk) 22:10, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
