Hello, Eddeesnuts, and welcome to Wikipedia!

An edit that you recently made to National Popular Vote Interstate Compact seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, please use the sandbox.

Here are a few links to pages you might find helpful:

You may also want to take the Wikipedia Adventure, an interactive tour that will help you learn the basics of editing Wikipedia. You can visit the Teahouse to ask questions or seek help.

Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. Again, welcome! -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 13:21, 29 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

  Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Eddeesnuts", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it contains slang for "testicles". If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 13:22, 29 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hello there. Will my account be unblocked once my new username request has been approved? Eddeesnuts (talk) 10:09, 30 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
 

Your account has been blocked indefinitely because your username is a clear violation of Wikipedia's username policy – it is obviously offensive, profane, violent, threatening, sexually explicit, disruptive, attacks or impersonates another person, or suggests that you do not intend to contribute positively to Wikipedia. Please see our blocking and username policies for more information.

We invite everyone to contribute constructively to Wikipedia, but users are not allowed to edit with accounts that have inappropriate usernames, and we do not tolerate 'bad faith' editing such as trolling or other disruptive behavior. If you believe that this block was incorrect or made in error, or would otherwise like to explain why you should be unblocked, you are welcome to appeal this block – read our guide to appealing blocks to understand more about unblock requests, and then add the following text to the bottom of your user talk page: {{unblock-un|new username|your reason here ~~~~}} Hammersoft (talk) 19:00, 29 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

I have now changed my username to something appropriate. Does this warrant an unblocking of my account? Thank you very much and have a good day EdDwardian (talk) 11:13, 30 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

Accept reason:

I have unblocked your account. Welcome back. PhilKnight (talk) 12:39, 30 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

@Hammersoft: - would you object to an unblock? PhilKnight (talk) 11:59, 30 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

Nope, but I certainly hope the first selection of a username is not a reflection of the general intent of this editor. --Hammersoft (talk) 12:37, 30 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
