- If you feel this block was made wrongly, you may quickly and easily ask to be unblocked.
Our username policy says how you should choose your username. Put simply, you should not have a username that people find offensive, advertises a real world group or company, or is confusing (for instance, if it pretends to be another user).
If you have already made changes and wish to keep your changes under a new name you may ask us to rename your account. If you want to, please follow these directions:
- Ask for an unblock
- Type {{unblock|reason}} on your Talk:User talk page which you should still be able to change – you want to change your username, so say that. If an admin thinks that you should be unblocked, he or she will do so for you, normally for 24 hours.
- Request a change in username
- Go here and ask for a new name. It will be changed by someone once they get the request.
If you have made few or no changes, then it would be a lot easier to simply create a new account.
Please note that the software Wikipedia uses may automatically block you from creating a new account – this is a mistake, and shouldn't have happened. If this has happened, attract attention using the unblock template as explained above, and an admin will fix it for you.
If you think you shouldn't have been blocked, add {{unblock|your reason here}} below or email the administrator who blocked you. You can also send an e-mail to simple-admins-l@lists.wikimedia.org and an administrator will look at your reason and reply. fr33kman 22:04, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
- I've lifted the autoblock on your IP address, so you should be able to create a new account. Please bear in mind, though, that accounts are to be used by one individual and not by a company or group. Feel free to email either me or the administrator's list (simple-admins-l@lists.wikimedia.org) if you have any queries. Cheers, Lauryn Ashby (d) 00:41, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
