Hello Lugnuts792! Your additions to Triathlon have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, it's important to understand and adhere to guidelines about using information from sources to prevent copyright and plagiarism issues. Here are the key points:

• Limited quotation: You may only copy or translate a small portion of a source. Any direct quotations must be enclosed in double quotation marks (") and properly cited using an inline citation. More information is available on the non-free content page. To learn how to cite a source, see Help:Referencing for beginners.
• Paraphrasing: Beyond limited quotations, you are required to put all information in your own words. Following the source's wording too closely can lead to copyright issues and is not permitted; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when paraphrasing, you must still cite your sources as appropriate.
• Image use guidelines: In most scenarios, only freely licensed or public domain images may be used and these should be uploaded to our sister project, Wikimedia Commons. In some scenarios, non-freely copyrighted content can be used if they meet all ten of our non-free content criteria; Wikipedia:Plain and simple non-free content guide may help with determining a file's eligibility.
• Copyrighted material donation: If you hold the copyright to the content you want to copy, or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license the text for publication here. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• Copying and translation within Wikipedia: Wikipedia articles can be copied or translated, however they must have proper attribution in accordance with Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. For translation, see Help:Translation § License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices. Persistent failure to comply may result in being blocked from editing. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia because your username , Lugnuts792, appears to be too similar to the username of another Wikipedia account.

New accounts are blocked if their username is too similar to the username of another account. This is done in order to prevent confusion, impersonation, or abuse. This block is not meant to punish you, nor is it meant to imply or accuse you of any wrongdoing.

You are welcome to create a new account with a username that is more easily distinguishable, or if you'd rather continue using this account, request a username change by:

1. Clicking on "Edit" in order to modify this page.
2. Adding {{unblock-un|user=your new username here|reason=your reason here}} to the bottom of your talk page.
3. Replacing "your new username here" with the username you'd like to be changed to, and replacing "your reason here" with any information that you'd like to provide to the reviewing administrator.
4. Clicking on "Publish changes".

If you feel that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding the following text to the bottom of your user talk page here: {{unblock|Your reason here}}. However, it is recommended that you review and understand Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks first.

Thank you.

Request reason:

My user name is unique and I was not trying to copy anyones work.

Decline reason:

I'm afraid it's too close to an existing user. Pick a new name. Yamla (talk) 20:38, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

Requested username:

JoshLugnuts792 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

I changed my name to a more unique name as directed above. I reached out to the user that blocked my account and received nothing back. With a proper name change, I have followed the rules. Request my account be unlocked or can I be given more exact details on how to proceed?

Accept reason:

Renamed so unblocked. Keep in mind the blocking admin's comment below. If this concerns you, note that I'd be willing to rename you once more (we normally would not process another rename so quickly). There's no need for you to be renamed from JoshLugnuts792, just noting that this is still an option if you wish. Anyway, you are unblocked. Welcome back, happy editing!

@Robertsky: Any objections to a rename and unblock here? --Yamla (talk) 23:02, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

@Yamla they reached out on meta to me while I was away (resting from a suffering flu). I had just replied there. I have no objections. Just that they have to be aware that the existing user left under a cloud. – robertsky (talk) 00:28, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
