Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it contains an offensive slang term.. If, after reviewing that policy, you believe your username does not violate policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you can file for a change of username, or you can simply create a new account and start using that one instead. Thank you. B.Wind (talk) 04:23, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
The definition of spooge (according to www.urbandictionary.com): spooge - 57 definitions - n. goopy or viscous substance similar in texture to [cum] v. to cause a goopy substance to end up on an item or person.
This word by definition is not offensive. In the definition it does give and example of a spooge like substance, but it is in no way exclusive to the example.
The only category one could even consider my name violating would be: Offensive usernames are those that offend other contributors, making harmonious editing difficult or impossible. If you consider my username offensive, even thought by definition it is not, then you must remove any name that in any way alludes to religion. I and many others like me are extremely offend by these names.
Hello, Lubs2spooge, and thank you for contributing to Wikipedia! Wikipedia has a policy on what usernames editors can use. Unfortunately, concerns have been raised that your username may be incompatible with that policy. You can contribute to the discussion about it here. Alternatively, if you agree that your username may be problematic and are willing to change it, it is possible for you to keep your present contributions history under a new name. Simply request a new name here following the guidelines on that page, rather than creating a whole new account. Thank you. B.Wind (talk) 04:40, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
Please address my statement that my name by definition IS NOT offensive... If my name is considered offensive by "some" then please also address ALL of the religious user names that I and many others find offensive. If you are not willing to do so then please stop harassing me.
By the way... my username stems from the fact that I own every type of Gak/Flubber/Silly putty that I have been able to create. I am sorry that some users are to juvenile to understand the actual meaning of the word spooge, but I should not be punished for their ignorance.
- Actual meaning? You mention 57 definitions as though that somehow absolves you. You failed to notice, then, that all but one of those definitions clearly states that 'spooge' is a slang term for semen. Regardless, you've been blocked for violating the naming conventions, so this is irrelevant. --King Öomie 13:31, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
Names should not be offensive, disruptive, promotional, misleading, or related to a "real-world" group or organization. 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.
