Userpage

Since nearly 50% of your total contributions to Wikipedia have consisted of copying my userpage to your own, even after I several times requested that you stop doing so and pointed out that 95% of its content does not and could not apply to you given your limited history here (thus appearing to be falsification), I'm going to ask you only once more to stop. After that, I will consider it harassment and address it as such. General Ization ^Talk 01:50, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

Your account has been blocked indefinitely because the chosen username is a clear violation of our username policy – it impersonates another editor and your edits provide evidence that you do not intend to contribute positively to the encyclopedia (see our blocking and username policies for more information).

We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia, but users are not allowed to edit with inappropriate usernames and we do not tolerate 'bad faith' editing such as trolling or other disruptive behavior. If you think there are good reasons why these don't describe your account, or 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 text {{unblock-un|new username|reason=your reason here ~~~~}} at the end of your user talk page.

This user's request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without a good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Requested username:

Frosty2019 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

I have contributed positively a few times, and I intend to do so in the future. I only chose my username and copied user page content to get a rise out of another editor, and that purpose has been fulfilled. I would like to continue to positively contribute to the Wiki communityGeneral Inflation (talk) 04:45, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

Decline reason:

It is with regret that I must decline your unblock request for username change. In your unblock request you admitted to a previously undescribed violation of our WP:HA policy ("I only ... copied user page content to get a rise out of another editor") but did not address how you plan to resolve and remedy it. Because there are multiple issues with this account beyond WP:USERNAME, simply changing to Frosty2019 would not be sufficient for its rehabilitation and the suggested name Frosty2019 is so close to an existing username that it may be a further attempt at impersonation.

Requesting an appeal of my block as it has been several years since this block was enacted and I would like to contribute positively to Wikipedia. I have a lot to add in the fields of electronics repair and automotive repair. I have not vandalized Wikipedia during this time period and both of my IP addresses, cellular (Sprint) and cable (Xfinity) are blocked. An acceptable alternative would be the unblocking of my IP addresses to allow me to create a new account General Inflation (talk) 01:32, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
