Username issue
editIs this account actually a sock puppet? If so, you should provide a link to the main account on your user page with an explanation of why this account meets the guidelines at Wikipedia:Sock puppetry. If it's not actually a sock account, then the name is misleading, and hence not allowed. You're currently listed at Wikipedia:Usernames for administrator attention, so your account might be blocked without warning. It would be a good idea to request to rename your account, or simply create a new account. Feezo (Talk) 04:15, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below).
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. 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:
- 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. - 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 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.
- Adding
{{unblock|Your reason here}}
, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. Brookie :) - he's in the building somewhere! (Whisper...) 12:01, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
