- This is often not a reflection on the user, and you are encouraged to choose a new account name which does meet our guidelines and are invited to contribute to Wikipedia under an appropriate username. If you feel this block was made in error, you may quickly and easily appeal it—see below.
Our username policy provides guidance on selecting your username. In brief, usernames should not be offensive, disruptive, promotional, misleading, or related to a 'real-world' group or organization. Also, usernames may not end with the string "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account.
If you have already made edits and wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name you may request a change in username. To do so, please follow these directions:
- Add
{{unblock-un|your new username here}}
below. This is possible because even when you are blocked, you can usually still edit your own talk page. - At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
- Please note, you may only request a name that is not already in use. The account is created upon acceptance – do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change since we can far more easily allocate your new name to you, if it is not yet used. Usernames that have already been taken are listed here. For more information, please visit Wikipedia:Changing username.
- Alternatively, you can "abandon" the contributions under this username and create a new account, which is much faster and easier, especially if you have few or no edits.
- Add
{{unblock|Your reason here}}
below or emailing the administrator who blocked you. Daniel Case (talk) 15:53, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

- A username change will not absolve conflicts of interest. What areas would you edit instead of those concerning Interreg IVC? -Jeremy (v^_^v Tear him for his bad verses!) 22:42, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
Thank you for the reply. I admit that I would have a conflict of interest in editing the INTERREG IVC acticle, as I am a part of the organisation. However, I was starting to edit articles not only about INTERREG IVC but also about the overall European Territorial Cooperation because most of the content related to these programmes is currently either outdated or missing at all. I did not see it as a conflict of interest as I was editing on my own initiative without pointing this out to the organisation or receiving benefits for it. I always aimed at writing from a neutral point of view and I would really appreciate it if someone would further contribute to the articles I have edited. The user name was obviously not well thought through and I would appreciate if this could be changed, especially as I have understood that otherwise I might not remain anonymous before my organisation. In the future I mainly plan to contribute to the Estonian content of Wikipedia. If the user name cannot be changed, I will understand and choose another name.--Marit.interregivc (talk) 08:36, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free image (File:INTERREG IVC LOGO slogan.JPG)
editThanks for uploading File:INTERREG IVC LOGO slogan.JPG. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. ZooFari 04:10, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
