- 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, related to a 'real-world' group or organization, or misleading. 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 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 easier 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.
- In the alternative, you can "abandon" the contributions under this username and create a new account, which is much faster and easier.

Request reason:
Hey! It is really unfortunate that your system cannot identify and flag potentially offensive user names BEFORE it approves an account. Anyways, this is a log-in I use very frequently and hopefully the content of my edits will prove that I am without ill intent (of course I've only made 1 edit thanks to the block, so there's not much of a track record yet). Similarly, I'd be happy to change the name. Can't we work this out?
Decline reason:
Declining until you choose a new and more appropriate name. When you have decided, please submit a new unblock request per the instructions above in step #1, thanks. Elonka 22:46, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
