May 2023

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)

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

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)

This user's request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

Requested username:

new username (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

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)

Accept reason:

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

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

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)

Thanks. PhilKnight (talk) 12:39, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
