This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because your username, RareBot, does not meet our username policy.

Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below) and continue editing.

A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account

You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines and create the account yourself. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:

  1. Adding {{unblock-un|your new username here}} on your user talk page. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "E-mail this user" on their talk page.
  2. At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
  3. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Wikipedia:Changing username.
If you feel that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|Your reason here}}, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. Drmies (talk) 02:15, 28 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

Alternate account

edit

Hello,
If you are going to continue to edit logged out as 60.242.105.82, you should list this account on your User page. It's not wrong to have an alternate account if it is not used deceptively (like using it as a separate account to support the other account in discussions) but if you acknowledge it on your user page, then it's clear that you are using both, that you're both the same person. On my talk page, you used both accounts so it was a bit confusing. Liz Read! Talk! 22:14, 28 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
